Weekend Plans

Jesse and I are house-sitting for some people in our ward for the next few days. They have horses--2 grown ups and a baby! Harses, harses, harses. They also have a giant tortoise, baby chicks, guinea pigs, and grown up chickens. Did I mention this guys's a vet? Should be fun.

Sunday Post

Well friends, another weekend has come and gone. Although yesterday and today were spent working and churching, we got to enjoy some sunshine on Friday! It was about 60 degrees here, and Jesse and I decided to go play. I made a pie, we went for a jog, I went with J to get a haircut, we ran some errands, went to the batting cages (yeah, I'm pretty good if you can believe it), and then made dinner, ate pie, went for a long walk, and watched The Sting with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. What a great day.

We've also given ourselves a challenge. As we're going to General Conference in about two weeks, we've decided it's about time we read through the Book of Mormon again. I'm not sure we're going to make our deadline, but we'll at least get a good chunk under our belts. I have to say, when I read the scriptures, sometimes it feels like wading through words. Not always, but sometimes. But the difference of my quality of life shoots way out of the park (still stuck on my surprising aptitude for baseball). I wake up feeling lighter, with a warmth in my heart and an excitement about the day. I'll keep you apprised of our progress. I know you're just dying to know how we do.

If I don't blog before then, I want to give a birthday shout-out to Mama Llama! Hope you have a fabulous spring break and get some r&r. Tell Medford hello and smell some daphne for me!

Peggy's Pie Flashbacks

Found these pictures from my Peggy's Pie adventures last summer. Also found some rhubarb at the store. I'm goin' in!

Housing Woes

So Jesse and I are trying to work out our housing in Kent from afar. Our deary dear friends Sarah and Annie are also trying to do the same. And I need some advice. The university doesn't have much in the way of married housing, and to be honest, we'd all love to be in the same house (especially Jesse and I). We've all been roomies before and it's worked out wonderfully. So our options are to either get what we get and sign up for on-campus housing, or try to rent a flat/house from away over here in North America. There are more hang-ups, too. Jesse and my program will take us away from Kent for about 4 months, but Annie and Sarah's won't. So here's the conundrum: do we go ahead and rent something off-campus (which will probably be cheaper) and just hope we can fill our room for 4 months in the middle of the year, or do we opt for student housing, in which we'll be separated (possibly even Jesse and I)?

This is all a bit overwhelming, and I need some perspective, here. This is where you come in.
