Ten Things Tuesday

XBOX Wife Ten Things Tuesday

This is a little different version of TTT, but the meaning is the same. Here are ten things that have made me smile recently:

1. Niece Lucy says "supper". I grew up in California, where we said "dinner". Hearing Lucy say "supper" socked it to me once again that my nieces have a Southern accent. It's way cute though!

2. My husband surprised me with living room furniture! You read that right-- living room furniture. We've been looking for a while, and I found a set I loved, but Jason wanted to keep looking. I had kind of forgotten about it, and I was hurrying in from WalMart Friday afternoon, and it was sitting in the living room! I was more surprised than when he proposed! It's beautiful and I love it!

3. Jason and I shared a friend ice cream blast from Sonic. Oh my goodness, YUM! The things they call "cinnamon crunchies" are actually just Cinnamon Toast Crunch pieces, and so it tastes like cereal ice cream, which are two of my favorite yet forbidden things.

4. The kids down the street found and are taking care of this TINY calico kitten. I don't love cats, but this one is a sweetie!

5. Bailey, the 65-pound Labrador, cowered and bellied up to the aforementioned tiny kitten.

6. We had a beautiful evening, and Bailey and I went for a very peaceful walk.

7. I am entertaining an idea (inspired by a book of course) that I really like.

8. The baby boom continues at church! So happy for Ryan and Joanna!

9. During our classroom preparation time, I ended up teaching some technologically-challenged teachers how to text. Oh fun!

10. I finally got around to seeing Juno, and I LOVED it! I watched it twice.

I've been in in-service a while now, but the kids start back on Monday. I am praying for my kids and the year ahead. Here we go!

Yay for furniture!! As for the southern accent... Lauren has started saying "I cain't" when something is hard. However, I think you may have a bit of an accent yourself... :) Can't wait to see you birthday weekend!
