I finally just made a decision and went with it.

Hopefully this will provide protection and make my life easier.

Thrifty Discovery

Today, while running errands with my coworkers,
I discovered that the 99cent store sells
Sunday papers for $1.
Normally they are $1.75.
Yeah for getting coupons for cheap!

Laundry

Sunday September 13th


I was not feeling well today
and I spent most of the day sleeping, but
in between naps I accomplished the above.
Hey, they're clean, even if they aren't put away.

Fog

As we headed out to Killeen today,
we saw downtown shrouded in fog.

Diary of a Sad Man

Friday September 11th


I have been listening to sermons in the car on the way to work.
My mom sent me Shawn Fowler's sermon series: Mythbusters.
It is based on the book of Ecclesiastes
They are good and challenging.

Open House

Thursday September 10th


This is what obsessed my day today.
I spent all day worrying about it,
all afternoon trying not to think about it,
and this evening doing it.
I can't tell you how nervous it makes me to meet these parents.

Good lunch

Today after church we went to lunch with
Byron and Liz and Trent and Rachel.
We haven't laughed so hard in a very long time!

Grocery Shopping

Saturday August 29th


Today we went grocery shopping.
Maybe a seeming banal task, but
I was proud of our pre-planning and
the fact that we were able to stay within our budget.
We should be able to eat in peace for ... at least a week ;)
