This is my husband Andy, who from the looks of it is apparently part human and part monkey.
So lately it's been a bit chilly here, which I love because out come the long-sleeved t-shirts and hoodies. And with the colder weather I actually shocked myself by wearing nylons with my skirt on Sunday. I almost promised after so many days of nylons at Pilly that I wouldn't wear them ever again. But we were running late and I didn't have time to think of other options. I will say that I'm vindicated by the fact that I haven't wore a skirt every Sunday to church. I know, all of you at Pilly are now aghast in either horror or jealousy. Anyway, that's a rabbit trail. So anyway, the point is that until today it's been rather chilly out, which explains why in these pictures I'm wearing so many layers. We went out to this old homestead place and walked around on Friday and then we went fishing on a local lake. First off I managed to lost my hook and lure by getting my line caught on the pier and then snapping the line, all within two seconds of getting there. Don't ask, I don't know what happened. So then when Andy got my line back in order I cast and I caught a 13 inch smallmouth bass. Yes I'm proud of it, yes I threw it back, and yes I would rather have eaten it. Andy's still learning to fillet fish so we're releasing them for the time being. Anyway, that was about all we caught so after an hour I was cold and hungry and ready to call it quits, so we did. It was fun though, I like catching big fish.
It's gotten warmer out today and tomorrow it's supposed to be back in the high 70s low 80s. I like the cold better. Oh well. There's not too much else to report other than we had our first Sunday School class on Sunday and I didn't die, but I'm definitely in over my head and my 1st grade kids are definitely a handfull. They are fun though. I had my first ladies' Bible study last night as well, I think it will be a really good study. We're going to be studying Jerry Bridges book "The Pursuit of Holiness". I've read it before, and it's really good. Our first AWANA club of the year is tomorrow evening, so as you can see, our weeks are going to get busier. Next week we're headed down to Andy's parents for a wedding reception for us with all those who couldn't make it to the wedding. We're staying the weekend so I think it will be a good time. I have a cousin getting married the first Saturday in October so we're going up to that. I'm supposed to serve punch I believe. Hopefully most of it ends up in people's cups and not on me or them. So that's about it for now. I'm working on a Pros to marriage list to post sometime soon. I figure there are enough people out there complaining about their marriages that I should point out the many many wonderful sides of being married. I love being married and that's not just because I'm a "newlywed". I just figure it's a conscience decision that you have to make and decide somewhere early on or before you get married. Marriage is hard enough as it it without complaining about it and tearing each other down all the time. So I figure it's time I point out many reasons that I love being married. I'm sure others have done this, but I'm compiling my own personal list.
So that's about it for now, Hopefully I'll have that ready soon. I'll probably have more pictures to post after we go down to Andy's parents. Take care and prepare for the snow! I know I'm excited. I love Fall and Winter. :-)
This would be a very angled picture of me on the couch taken by my goofy husband. He makes me laugh every day.
This is me peaking from on the couch. We were watching the Twins and I was reading. Andy was obviously playing with the camera.
