Today, Jess and I bought in “extremes”.
Yep. Today we purchased the following:
– a Graco Pack ‘n Play (in Mocha)
– a new pair of “casual dress” shoes for Stevan
– a shovel, hoe, and garden rake
Interesting, right?
Our day was spend running “errands” to say the least. We enjoyed a visit to Baby’s ‘R Us where we enjoyed using our giftcards to purchase the necessities (including a Diaper Genie!). Then we enjoyed lunch with Mom Garrett at the Olive Garden (each of us enjoyed Soup, Salad and Breadsticks). After lunch we hit the mall where we found the new shoes for me.
On the way home from Ft. Wayne, I called our landlord and asked if he thought it would be possible for the Sheets family to start a garden in our rented home’s yard. He said, “absolutely”. So we stopped at Wal-Mart and purchased my very own gardening tools. I’ll be borrowing a tiller this week sometime and churn up some backyard and plant the following: corn, cucumbers, peppers, carrots, green beans, and okra! We also picked up a start of Peppermint. We’ll plant that around the downspouts and attempt to grow our own crop to make some mint tea that my mother raised me on!
I’m excited to till up some backyard!
Happy Easter tomorrow!
Tonight we had our second of three musicals. The team did VERY well tonight and I had the privilege of welcoming the audience as well as closing the evening with an opportunity for commitment. 11 people tonight recommitted their lives to Christ!
Tomorrow, during our usual second service we will enjoy the final presentation. Afterwards we are taking Pastor Bill and June out for Easter dinner.
In baby-news, we are more-than-sure that Baby Sheets is “dropping”. Jess is feeling new hurts and pains in new places and we are anticipating birth in the next 10-12 days. (it will be fun to see how close my prediciton is!)
