Some catching up

What a refreshing morning! After almost two weeks on the road we returned home early Friday morning. Eden went to stay with her Grandaddy and CiCi Friday night so Thomas and I could catch a movie and sleep in- we were admittedly a bit road weary. The movie, District 9, was not at ALL relaxing- but it was definitely a well done piece of cinema. We ended up winding down by starting Scrubs Season 8 (I don't feel like divulging just how many episodes we watched) and eating ice cream. After sleeping in, which felt SOOOO good, I took a bubble bath while reading magazines and eating oreos for breakfast. Perfect morning off! Although, think I need to go on a dessert strike again :).

Here are a few pictures from our trip:

Stopping in at the Arkansas border for lunch- Eden's first time in a state other than Texas

"I'm ready to get out of the car!!"- just outside of Chicago

Hanging out in St Louis

After visiting Trinity Evangelical in Chicago, Thomas officially likes the program and will be working on the GRE and admission paperwork over the next month. Once that's done we'll just have to see what happens next! Exciting, no?

I got the painting itch on the trip and am glad that I've wrapped up most of my sewing projects. I'm pretty sure that the sewing machine will be put up so that it isn't a distraction.

Here is the finished quilt for Emily's graduation present. I printed the Psalm 121 panel through spoonflower.com. If you're crafty, check them out, awesome service!!

And here is a skirt made for Emma's first birthday present. This is from JonaG's Edith Twirl Skirt pattern.
Be expecting some recipes soon!
