Odd Dates...
Andee and I have a couple of hours a week now to spend alone.. We usually go and have lunch, and run around and do some church errands. We found a relatively inexpensive home cooked Tex-Mex place near our house that we like pretty well. I had the afterburner sauce yesterday. It was HOT!
Yesterday we went to the dollar store and bought 20 porcelain vases.. The lady at the counter got out her newspaper to wrap them up, but we said "No thanks, we are just going to take them home and break them anyway!" I think she thought we where a bit weird.
We had a lot of fun breaking vases. Andee has a little less fun gluing them back together. These vases are intended to be used as an illustration of 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 which talks about how as we are stressed and cracked as Christians, we show the treasure stored inside. Kinda Interesting that Andee would cut her hands while preparing an illustration about how God uses affliction in our lives. Her fingers hurt pretty bad, but at least she will have a good story to cherish.
Last week we spent a good deal of time running photocopies. I have had quite a fondness for the smell of toner ever since my High School Debate days.
We are very busy these days. One parent is out doing one thing or another M-F every evening. We have Saturday and Sunday evening to play together as a family. I am working Tuesday through Saturday, With Church and BSF on Sunday and Monday, it seems like I hardly get a break..
