Week 32: The Week of Wild Weather

It has been a crazy week for weather! My GOODNESS it has been insane! Earlier in the week it was okay, Wednesday there was thunder and lightening in the morning, snow until about 7, then some sleet and by the time I left for home the rain had washed most of the snow away! Today it has been absurdly windy. Most of the time it sounds like the wind it tearing all of our siding off, it looks like the shingles on the house across the road are probably going to be in the next county by tomorrow morning and walking in a straight line is darn near impossible! Can't wait to see what the next week brings...hopefully something semi-springy!

This week my work schedule was pretty good, so I got a lot of studying done and felt super accomplished! Monday, Jonathan had a long day at work and we both spent the evening working on different projects. He finished our taxes while I did some studying and we ate white chicken chili for dinner - thank goodness for crockpot meals!

On Tuesday, Jonathan had a better day and got home at a better time. We had leftovers for dinner before he had to go to Bible Study. While he was gone I did some studying and had quiet time. After Bible Study, Jonathan got to relax and play some guitar while I got pork chops ready for the next day.

Wednesday we had marinated pork chops with roasted potatoes, both of which were really good! We spent the evening relaxing and playing another game of Patchwork before returning it to the Steiger's on Thursday at small group. Small group on Thursday was great, as usual. We enjoyed our time with friends and Jonathan is gearing up for the second half of the semester. He is going to be helping lead the guys' study!

I was off on Friday, which was awesome and allowed for me to go visit Hannah and get allergy shots. Jonathan worked over and didn't get home until about 5:15 and then we threw some things together and headed over to the Harrell's to learn how to make fajitas! Lyndsie and Joel were great teachers and we now feel very capable to make our own fajitas once we have a grill! They are from Texas, so we feel as though they are the experts on this subject. After we ate and they put Adah to bed, we played some Forbidden Island and Bananagrams.

Jonathan had to work on Saturday since they are so busy at work, so I stayed home, did laundry and studied. He came home and surprised me with a movie (A Star Is Born) to watch, so we had some mac and cheese, watched the movie and had a good evening at home after a busy few days.

Today has been refreshing. Church was great this morning, then we went grocery shopping, ate mexican delight and talked to our parents. I cleaned the kitchen, we had a mishap with the sparkling juice we got at the grocery store, it had some fountanous qualities apparently...so since I needed to mop the floor it just made sense to clean the whole thing too. Since then, I have been studying and Jonathan had volleyball. Apparently their team picked up a stray human looking for friends...mainly Jonathan picked up a stray man looking for friends. Jonathan said the guy just started following him around and ended up playing on their team for the evening...so THAT is interesting! Now we are just planning to get ready for tomorrow and enjoy the last few hours of our weekend!

[Meals]
  • Monday: Chicken Potato Chowder
  • Wednesday: Bacon Pasta
  • Otherwise - leftovers
We are gearing up for the next week. Jonathan is expecting another busy week at work and I am wrapping up a rotation and getting ready for the next one! It could be a little crazy, but it is bound to be fun! Have a good week! We love you all!

Love,

Alli and Jonathan
