Friends, Jobs, Crafts!

Last week, we went to Chuy's with some friends. It was yummy!!! They also gave us our wedding present: two bottles of wine and wine glasses....buc-ee's wine glasses...classy!

Saturday we chilled at home all day! Brad ended up putting Willoughby in time out because he was barking too much. He put him in the bedroom and shut the door. When Brad went to walk Willoughby, he found a wonderful note on our door from our neighbor (apparently we are deaf and never heard her knock...but Willoughby did!). So now we know that Willoughby had an undeserved time out. He was simply trying to tell us that there was somebody there. And he told us again when she came back and put the note on the door. Poor baby!....Back to the note...Our neighbor was a teacher for 25 years and she knows that I am currently trying to find a job teaching. She went through a lot of her books and decided to give me a whole bunch of them! So now I have a lot of big books and many other wonderful books...such as Amelia Bedelia. I am super excited!!!

Sunday we went to church and tried out the Sunday school class. It was wonderful. We really enjoyed getting to meet the different couples. They were all really nice and the class seems pretty laid back. We loved it. They were cracking jokes and learning about God and Jesus and how to be better Christians. We had a simply bible study lesson because they do not have their new books in yet. But they should have them soon!

Monday, I got a call in the morning to go work at one of my favorite schools. Luckily, I had already turned down a job at another school that day, or I wouldn't have been available!

Today, I got a call from the school I am supposed to start a long term at soon...I was super excited because they asked me to come in for the class that I will be taking. Turns out, she had a last minute doctor's appointment and will be back tomorrow. But she is scheduled to induce on the  10th (which is her due date anyways). The doctor was ready to induce yesterday when she went in, but the hospital was already booked.

Also today, I decided to get crafty and made our wreath for our door! I bought everything yesterday at Hobby Lobby and put it all together tonight. I really like the way it turned out. Brad even did his part by vacuuming the floor where I had made a mess! Originally I had planned on using darker colors, because that is what I am partial to, but ended up going with bright colors due to lack of options and the time being. I spent about $30 (everything was half off) and $12 of that was on the ribbon (expensive stuff!). I was really excited considering one of the wreath's that I saw there was $60 (and it was small and ugly in my opinion). Now I can't wait to put it up. Unfortunately due to my strict policy of decorating the day after Thanksgiving (or as soon as we get back from Thanksgiving rather), I have a while to wait!
