As the summer approaches, the season of short wearing is approaching. Not as rapidly as I thought, but having a true winter was nice as well. In Austin, we never had 4 true seasons so it was nice seeing snow, and not having to go out in it. 🙂
I got to attend my first ever Ladies Retreat with our church. It was Friday night through Saturday around lunch time, and I thought it was wonderful. The planning was well done, they didn’t have us play endless get to know you games, had really good speakers, and the discussion groups were very well split up so you got to meet new people in all different age groups.
We recently started two tasks that might seem crazy to some and are definitely very daunting when first starting. Whenever organizing, I feel like things have to get worse before they can get better. So anyway, we have decided to scan all of our papers that we are storing onto our server and off site back up so we can get rid of our paper copies. There are some things that we will keep,but they will be very few.
Well it has been a while since we have posted, but everything has been so busy for us. As Grant so eloquently said, it snowed here. 🙂 We have had a much colder winter than last year which we have definitely noticed on our crazy high heating bills,but that is life, and I am just happy we have a place to live out of the elements. On January 24th, was my birthday, and I got more birthday wishes and gifts that I never expected, and it made me feel truly special and loved.
I really enjoy sewing randomly, but sometimes it is a pain. Mainly because I constantly have to take down  or set up sewing machine, serger, ironing board, iron,etc. First world problems I know; Grant is so patient with how messy it gets when I sew because threads and needles end up everywhere. I have been trying to organize our clothing and one of the things we did is take a bunch of our t shirts that we never wear and put them into a bin where I plan to practice certain sewing to get the hang of it. So, if I mess up, I am not wasting purchased fabric which is expensive.
