Busy, Busy

When Lee was hired at MTSU, another guy named Josh was hired as well. Josh's wife, Gladys, and I have hit it off and have been wanting to get together for awhile. On Friday night I went over there and she showed me how to do these cute mini photobooks. They are like scrapbooks, but smaller. I haven't finished it yet, and I just realized I didn't take a picture, but I'll post it when I'm done. But it was a lot of fun hanging out with her.

She is always baking us wonderful treats, so I made them some from-scratch brownies. My favorite recipe. Although I used 60% cacao chips this time and I did NOT like that. Waaaay too rich, almost bad. I won't be doing that again. :) 

This past weekend was General Conference and we really enjoyed that. Although it was a little frustrating.... we had just finished fall break and then we watched conference all day Saturday and Sunday... the kids were going nuts from all the "sitting around." 

I ordered some fabric and got it in yesterday. Lee worked late, so I whipped up these pillows for the front porch. It looks so festive now. I love it. I wish the lighting was better, but I took these pics as teh sun was setting in front of the house. 

I'm always messing around with the inside decor and I found this shelf that hadn't been used yet. So I used it. Right by the front door. 

Today I started my triathalon training. It's long been a dream of mine to do one, and I decided that next year is the year to do it. I started another blog to chronicle the process of that. That address is lessonsinatri.blogspot.com.  When I get a few more minutes, I'll link it to this blog. It's also in its raw stages. It'll be a simpler blog and it will remain public. So everyone can keep up with my progress! haha. 

Well, it's off to Relief Society night. Lee teaches a night class, so I've got the kids in their PJ's and we'll see what fun tonight has in store. :)  Have I mentioned that I love our ward yet?? :)
