We woke up to snow on Jeff's birthday. It covered the grass and some of the sidewalks. By lunch time it was all gone. I guess that is the best kind in the spring! Jeff is greatful for all the greetings sent be family and friends. We went to the Winter Inn for lunch and had some delicious burgers.Last night's Bulkoogi Fest was great. Sarah and I made more than 90 Yakimondue after I got home from work. Everyone enjoyed the food, many had a second helping. Sarah has enough leftovers to take back to college, and that makes her happy! Mary and her friends worked on learning shorthand and then sang some barbershop. Sarah and her friends played a game of Deal or No Deal, then watched some movies. All in all it was a good night.
Today was the day the girls could get their new phones. Mary didn't like the ones at the store we first went to, and Sarah got a purple phone like mine. Then we went to radio shack to see if they had a better deal. Well, they sure did, so we went back to the first store, returned that phone, then back to radio shack. They had a deal on the phone Mary liked and even matched the cheaper online price. Sarah was going to get the purple phone, then decided Mary's choice was preferable. Both girls got the same phone only in different colors. When it came time to sign for the contract, they wouldn't let me, because it is in Jeff's name. So we had to call daddy and ask him to come over and sign, which he did. Thanks! What an ordeal!
Family portraits were at 12:30, just 60 minutes from the time we got home from phone shopping. We made it there all looking fine and spent nearly 90 minutes taking and picking out pictures. They really did turn out nice. Sarah wasn't particularly happy with her personal pose, so I took a few pictures with her new dress on and her hair up. She had it down in the portraits. I think she is beautiful any way she wears it. Our order will arrive in about two weeks. I hope they look as good on Kodak paper, as they did on the computer screen.We attended a surprise b-day party in the afternoon. Then rushed home to host our small group bible study. I served mini ham sandwiches. The other people in our group provided fritos, deviled eggs, fruit and cheese and pineapple dessert. I guess we will eat the Birthday cake I made for Jeff tomorrow.
Mary will play her cello solo during the offering tomorrow, and the choir is singing God So Loved the World. I get to sing this time! Yay! I will be having a Sunday School teachers meeting after church. Hope to keep it as short as possible. I can't believe we are in the spring quarter already! Sarah is going to a b-day party tomorrow afternoon, so we will take her back to Hope on Monday.
I guess that is all.
Blessings to all!
Grace
