Tuesday: girls' night out

Tonight I went to a girls' night out. It was fun...we stood in line for quite a while for a massage, but it was worth it.

Besides that, today felt rather busy. But since I took a long nap in the middle of it I'm not sure that was actually busy.

Monday: lost lost found lost

Lost: 2 phone chargers, although 1 might be in storage. One is very lost.

Lost: the top sheet of our white sheets. How did it get separated from the rest of the set?

Found: one phone charger! It was in a bag with the signed Frisbee and was the very last thing I unpacked.

Lost: one recipe for a bisquick/salsa/chicken/cheese meal. It had been lost in NY, found while the movers were packing, and is now lost again. I haven't looked on the internet for it.

Monday: +

I took a pregnancy test today. I almost waited to take it because we only have one left and I didn't want to get a negative result and have to buy more. But I also have been feeling rather weird the last few days and our curiosity got the better of us. So I took the test. And it was positive.

Yay!

But it's also a bit scary.

Sunday: Victory!

Happy Easter! I woke up today with the word "Victory" in my head. I was hoping to sing "Victory in Jesus" at church, but I'm not really sure if that is an Easter song. Of course, we had forgotten to turn on the alarm clocks and awoke 27 minutes before the service was supposed to start. We made it with about 10 seconds to spare, but we made it.

Then we went to see all the families. At one party there was an Easter egg hunt. One girl wasn't able to be there, so Ben and I did her basket for her. It was my first ever Easter egg hunt, so I was pretty excited about it. And the basket matched my shirt!

Then we saw my family for a delicious dinner. I tried artichoke. While I think it might be an ok food, it might be too much work for me to really like it. Then we quickly stopped by the other side of Ben's family and then made it home.

Saturday: I forgot

Why I forgot to post tonight, a few thoughts by Amanda

I forgot to post tonight because I had other things on my mind. Why do I have a runny nose? How can I slightly change this mini quilt to brighten it up? Is it too early to go to bed?

Maybe you're telling yourself, "Self, do my eyes deceive me or did Amanda post tonight after she said she forgot to?". My response to that is that I practically forgot to post...usually I do it before getting ready for bed, but tonight Im posting from bed...and it took some willpower to stop the game I was playing and post.

Friday: Good Friday

Jesus wept and pleaded with his Father to not have to endure the pain of the cross. Reading between the lines, I think he was scared. But yet he went through torture for me.

While I'm incredibly glad that he went through with it, I'm also glad that he didn't want to. There are things that I'm scared of, but if I have to go through them I can rely on the strength of Jesus.

Thursday: this and that

Let's see...today I did some random things. I helped one of Ben's aunts move a little bit of stuff to her new house. Most of the moving is happening on Saturday though. It's a very cute house...and it's older, so it has all these random things in it that might it fun. Cheryl and I put together a shelving unit. It made me feel like an engineer again. Especially since we had a few problems (why does pre-built furniture never seem to go together as easily as it should).

Then Cheryl and I went grocery shopping. We almost didn't go since there was nothing urgent that we needed, but we also realized that the store was probably just going to get busier and busier as the weekend went on. Needless to say, it was still rather busy for a Thursday afternoon.

Then I took a nap. I've been trying to not take naps this week because then I have a hard time falling asleep, but staying awake didn't seem to be much of an option. I made Flurry take a nap with me by sitting in her favorite chair.
