This week went by a little faster, but I still cannot believe that we have only been here two weeks! I don’t mean that in a bad way, I really like it here. I guess we’ve just accomplished so much in such a short time that it seems like we have been here a lot longer. We just about have everything unpacked. Only 4 more boxes to empty. They are the “miscellaneous” ones that I am not in a hurry to sort through! We still have a few more things to hang on the wall and then maybe I will be able to finally post some pictures.
We spent some time this week walking around the town and exploring. We walked to the park, but it was really cold so we decided not to stay. We did check out the “Corner Store” which used to be a gas station and now it just sells a few staple items like: milk, bread, macaroni, candy (yes candy and macaroni are “staple” items). They also recently started cooking burgers and sandwiches. One thing I thought was really cool was in the back of the store they have a section of books that people have donated. People just take and donate whatever and however many books they want to. You can keep the books for as long as you want. Return it or don’t. So it’s like a community book exchange. They had bunch of the type of books I like to read. Some that I haven’t read yet. So needless to say I was very excited!
Yesterday was a very “Pinteresty” day. At least at meal times. For breakfast we had biscuits, Chocolate Gravy, and ham and egg cups. They were both super easy and delicious! If I had known all you had to do was call it “gravy” and you could have chocolate for breakfast, I would have started cooking it a long time ago. For lunch we had BLTs but instead of just slapping the bacon on the sandwich like an animal I cooked it in the oven in a basket weave pattern. Such a simple thing, but it has totally revolutionized the way I make BLTs from now on. Honestly, I don’t know how I functioned before Pinterest! :)
Tonight a sweet member of our congregation is going to watch Kynslee so Don and I can have a date night. Since we have to drive 20 minutes one way to do anything, we are just going to go eat somewhere. I am still not totally comfortable leaving Kynslee for extended periods of time. I also think that this will be the furtherest I’ve been away from her as well. So baby steps! Maybe one day I will be okay with leaving her for a longer time. It will still be nice to have a nice uninterrupted meal where the only person I have to feed is me!
