for both Paisley and I. Tomorrow Paisley will be at the vets office getting spayed and caught up on shots =( I will be subbing for kindergarten! AHHH!
We had a good weekend. On Friday, Justin’s UPT (Undergraduate Pilot Training) class got together for the first time. I took Green Bean Bundles and they were a HUGE hit!!! I doubled the recipe in hopes of taking some home for J and I but at the end of the night, I went to pick up my (way cute) zebra casserole dish and it was DRY AS A BONE!! I got tons of compliments, which of course, made my week! =) I’m not a cook and will never claim to be, so any compliment in that department is much appreciated! =)
Saturday we bummed around during the morning and then headed to the Market Street Festival later that afternoon. It was a typical small town, redneck, festival event. However, it had wayyyy more going on than I ever thought it would. Tons of food (of course ALL fried) and lots of arts & crafts vendors (my fave: Simply Squared Designs). We came home with two hanging flower baskets (the proceeds went to a local Children’s Home organization), a P-51 Christmas tree ornament made from an aluminum Mountain Dew can, in good redneck fashion!! Although, it was an Asian man selling them! haha! Picture coming soon. And last but not least, a ShamWow! =) Needless to say, we did our part to support the local festival!
Today, we tried out a second church…Fairview Baptist! It was extremely similar to the church we attended in College Station but with a much older pastor. I like it more than last weeks (First Baptist) but Justin like last weeks better. Oh well, we still need to try out Sunday School classes, that will probably be the determining factor. Bottom line, between Green Acres and Central, I’m extremely spoiled when it comes to WONDERFUL churches and pastors!! I hate to be picky, but when all you’ve known is good, anything less is a lil hard to stay focused on. I did see one of my students this morning at church which was fun. She came over with a BIG smile on her face like “hi! here I am!” but didn’t really say much. I think it was a relief to Justin to see that I was liked bc after my stories of Friday (which actually involved disciplining this particular student) he began calling me a “mean teacher”. When the student went back to her family, Justin said “I guess she still likes you!” lol!!!
Speaking of Justin, he’s laying in bed (WITH PAISLEY!!!) and I’m dying to be there myself!! Goodnight and sweetdreams all!!
