Monday: pants

I like pants. I especially like it when pants have pockets. I really like pockets. But sometimes the pockets let everything fall out. What is the point of those pockets? I hate it when my cell phone falls out of my pocket and I have to go find it.

Sunday: I'm from New York

Ben and I have found that if we say "I just moved to the area from New York", people always think that we're coming from NYC.

If we say "I just moved from upstate New York," only half the people think we're from NYC.

The lesson here is to not have a major city named after a state.

PS, we have this problem with Holland too, but if we say Holland, MI no one gets mixed up so it isn't as bad.

Saturday 2: apples

I guess the internet just wanted to prove me wrong, as it started working well right after my last post.

Here are Ben and I. My shirt is having problems. I'm just starting to not be able to wear some of my larger shirts but try anyway. I should probably stop trying.

And Dad and Landon are picking some apples.

Afterwards we took a look at the restaurant but it was way too busy. So we came back to Holland to eat at their satellite restaurant, which was not busy. The food was very good. And we got some donuts!

Saturday: internet

I was going to tell you about apple picking today (complete with pictures) but instead I'll tell you about the internet.

Recorded internet message: "There is a service outage in your area. It should be fixed by 6:43 pm"

What they meant to say: "There is a service outage in your area. It will get worse at 6:43pm. Around 9:30pm it will sometimes be working enough for you to get a few things done if you're patient, but you won't be able to upload pictures."

Friday: hi

Hi.

I have nothing that I really want to share with the world today.

Sorry, I've been having a lot of days like that lately.

It makes for a boring blog.

Wednesday: groceries

Today I got groceries. The exciting part of this trip was how many random things didn't hop into my cart. only the cheese sticks somehow invaded the cart, and one could argue that they should have been there in the first place.

let's list the invaders that didn't make it into the cart...because I'm really proud that I kept them out.

Oreos. Oreos tried really hard to get in.
Eggo waffles
Donuts.
different kinds of donuts
chips
Carmel rice cakes
candy
chocolate
Granola bars that are made out of peanuts

Tuesday: problems

My current problems are not big problems.

But they feel like big problems.

I'm working on trusting that God will take care of all my problems, and that he will understand that even though I know they're not big problems they still stress me out.

One of my life goals is to not worry about problems but instead trust God. Just as I think I'm getting it I fail.

I'll try again tomorrow. Or tonight.
