Monday we went to Nana's auction. It was the first auction we went to together and we enjoyed getting to make decisions together and picked up some deals! We got a TV stand (pictured to the side), a crockpot, frier, tomato juicer and some yard tools - a little something for both of us! Afterward we went to DQ with Mom, Dad, Philip and Grandpa Haas.Tuesday I worked, so Jonathan mowed, went to basketball and then afterwards he met me at work and we took the car to the mechanic. It got new tires on Wednesday and we are REALLY happy with how it rides now! I was off Wednesday, so I went to get my new glasses and did a few things around the house. We had fajitas for dinner, then went to small group. I made a new dip for small group, it had ham and all sorts of cheesy yummy stuff in it, definitely worth trying again! Small group was really good, we are enjoying getting to know our new community and are starting to form some new friendships.
Thursday I worked, so Jonathan had stewmeat and mushrooms in the crockpot over rice for dinner, went and got a haircut, picked up some groceries and did some computer work after he worked. Friday I was off, so after Jonathan finished working we went and completely switched our bank accounts, then visited Kyle on our way to the Lumleys for game night! It was a ton of fun! We had enchilladas, sopapilla cheesecake and played some games with the boys, then we played dominos just the adults. It was such a good time together and we can't wait to do it again some time!
Saturday was our first day off together in a long time, probably about 2 months. We went to Holland's for breakfast, then headed to Canton for the afternoon. First we went to the Restore since they were having a sale. We were looking for chairs, but found a filing cabinet instead! After that we went to the Sketchers store. I got work shoes and Jonathan got some casualish shoes to wear with jeans or khakis. We stopped at Duluth, then went on to the strip to check out Old Navy and Office Max. I got some new clothes and Jonathan got a new office chair! This has been a necessity since he was using my old one from home...which was a hand-me-down to begin with! His new one is much better for his posture and he likes it so much better. Once we got home, Jonathan put his chair together while I made Oktoberfest stew. He made us some cornbread to go with the stew, then we watched some shows while we ate. The stew was delicious. Definitely a keeper recipe and perfectly appropriate for October! Sunday I finally got to go to Grace Chapel for the first time in 7 weeks. After church we came home, made chicken pot pie pasta, then headed over to Aunt Chery's for the Haas family reunion. It was nice to meet my dad's family, since I had never really known them well. After that we came home, figured out how we want to organize the garage, then went to youth group. It was a jam packed weekend, but we spent the whole time together and got to do things we loved - that was what mattered!
This week is a lot of work again, but we are excited about our next weekend home together! Hope you are all having a great week! Love you all!
Love,
Alli and Jonathan
