Stitching, Cooking, and Taking Pictures

So, this week seemed to be a pretty long week, but for some reason it also flew by. I wasn't overly busy, but just busy with the normal things. We are now in Pastoral Epistles and 1, 2, 3 John; so instead of one class to do homework for, I have two and Joel has three because of Dan/Rev. I'm not complaining because we're loving it, but it's just a little more homework. I'm so excited for one of John assignments... we have to write out the whole book of 1 John and leave a margin to write notes, applications and cross references. I cannot wait to do this assignment. I kind of have a feeling I'll do this for more books in the Bible too.

I had a doctors appointment on Thursday, and it went well. The doctor said that everything looked normal and great. I'm about 34 1/2 weeks now. It's amazing how fast it's gone by. And Joel and I are so excited. We just cannot wait to meet our little girl.

Okay, stitching. So, Joel has a pair of jeans that have holes in the front, but they are his favorite jeans. It's his most comfortable pair of jeans, but the holes annoyed him. So he asked me to patch them, which I thought he was kind of joking. He cut up one of his flannels that he didn't wear very much for the patch. I sewed and stitched and poked my fingers a couple of times, but I did it. They don't look very professional or anything, on account that it is one of my first sewing experiences. But he likes them so that's all that matters.

Friday night I made fish and chips with tarter sauce again, and this time they were way yummier. Joel really liked them. And we actually had Joel's brother and his family (Jon, Jen and Jaydin) over too. I think that it tasted pretty good, but the greasiness of it makes my tummy feel gross, so I didn't eat very much. But another down side is that it's just a very time consuming meal. Like, because our deep fryer is so tiny, it takes a lot of small batches. But it was still great overall. And we tried frying some scallops but the batter just came right off, so they didn't exactly turn out as planned. But it seems like Joel likes them as left overs.

Saturday, Joel took pictures of Kirsten for her prayer card and just some fun pictures. We walked over to Loomis Park, which is right next door to school. And I also took some pictures too. Joel's pictures are way better, but I think I took a few good ones too. And it was kind of fun because I took some pictures of Joel taking pictures. Here they are:
Kirsten was such a great model :]
