Salad

All this great weather has put me in the mood for salads. Enjoy a few pics of my recent salads:)K this is actually a picture of salmon with a salad in the background. But anyway. This is blackberry glazed salmon... It was very good!
In this salad I put strawberries, blueberries, raisins, craisins, kiwi, apples, chopped almonds, spinach, and romaine, chinese noodles, mozzarella and grilled chicken. Delish!!

Dan Sam in Real Life

Nice to meet you Sam

Patrick and I took Kirby out to the park today to enjoy this weather.For dinner we went out on a date to Molly Malone's and had dinner out on the deck. Afterward we went and met Sam for the first time. We were so excited to meet him and see Ashley. We can't wait to spend all weekend with them soon.

way to go Patrick way to go *clap*clap*

I feel like bragging on Patrick a little. He has had a really tough week of school, but has come through like a champ.

First he had a mid term in Advanced Greek Grammar (sounds awful huh?) This class is so hard that the teacher curves the grades so that 85-100 is an A. It's probably one of the toughest classes at seminary. Anyway Patrick studied hard and did really well. That was Tuesday. Wednesday he spoke at a local high school's chapel.
After chapel he got to work studying for his Dad's New Testament Theology mid term. He took it today and got a 94!!!! Way to go Patrick!!!

Thats not all, he got an email today saying he had been awarded a biblical studies award from Southern. He was nominated and voted on by professors in the school of theology. He won some money for it and will be recognized in chapel.

Patrick is super dedicated to his studies and it has really paid off this week.

Everybody now... Way to go Patrick! Way to GO *clap*clap*

Fuel

"A car is made to run on gasoline, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way. God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing." C.S. Lewis

Ladies and Gentlefolk

I have made a dress. It's not completely my size but with a little awkward maneuvering, I can get it over my head. I think I'll put a zipper in to make it easier. I also have to make longer straps... the ones currently on it don't connect. And I'm going to do something different with the top. But overall, I'm really happy with the way it looks. What do you think?

Making a dress... We'll see how it turns out

I'm kinda improvising on a pattern... Simply using a dress that I already own. I think the top is going to look funny on. I'm probably going to have to take it off and redo it. Thanks Tara T for all the fabric:) Your scraps are my treasures.
