Not bad…

…for an on-call Saturday!

I started with about $20 of these:
berries

And ended up with all of this:
jam

My kitchen looked like this (which isn’t as bad as it normally is, but still not as clean as Andy would prefer):
messy kitchen

So, I did all of these:
dishes

Amidst all of this, I also made about 150 phone calls to fill open shifts that came up at the last minute, prepped a chicken for Andy to grill, made 10 cups of broth from that chicken, made the rest of dinner, and killed some zombies.  Whew…I’ll sleep well tonight!

A pretty good day!

woot

My woot! shirt came and I finished the first of two 5-week ACT Prep sessions for the summer. Hooray for cheap shirts and easy money!!

I laughed so hard I cried…

…but I can’t tell you about it because it would be a HIPAA violation, so you’ll just have to trust me that my job is quite often rather hilarious.  Other than that, not a lot going on right now.  I need to keep the camera out more often so I have more blog fodder!

Hard work may actually be worth it…

cross

…once in awhile anyway! So, you probably already know, but Andy and I have been serving as the “interim directors of worship arts” at church since September. During this time, we relaunched our contemporary service, including a few physical improvements. One of the improvements were two mounted crosses that were designed by Sara Simpson (based on the necklace Andy gave me a long time ago) and constructed by Dave Wickman, two church members. Dave then made us a 1/3 size replica as a reminder of our time in charge, so Andy hung it up today before Sharon and Josh came over for dinner (don’t worry, I will continue to be the constructor in our family, but I knew Andy would be more likely to put everything away when he was finished than me). It looks great on our wall and will be a very nice reminder for a very long time!

Yesterday was pretty uneventful….

beer

…but we did have a very nice dinner at Bottleworks with some people from church. This was my last beer of the night….first a Pear Cider, then a No. 15, then a Cherry Cider. I think I should have watched the alcohol content on my choices a little closer….but oh well!
(sorry for the terrible photo quality…my camera battery was dead so I used my phone)

We’re back….

floating
…from 3 days of floating on the Jack’s Fork near Eminence. We had a great time and didn’t get too sunburned. More pictures will be on facebook once we finish sorting through them!
