Today is my day off and finished a new quilt I started last week. I decided I needed to make a yellow baby quilt for Kaylene since her nursery is going to be in greens. I had some pretty flannel I had originally planned to use but got sidetracked by the sailboat design. I will try to get a picture of it but I have to recharge the camera.

I had a great time at the ladies retreat this past weekend. I am glad Linda was able to come. Susie, Linda, Terri Brewer and I shared a room. It was lovely weather and we got in two nice walks. Unfortunately I took a nap during the crafts but I think my body needed that more than the fellowship and bustle of the craft projects. I get enough crafts at home lately :) The teachings were on discovering and embracing the role of Princess (child of the king, royalty), our authority in Christ and running the race. I also enjoyed playing telephone pictionary and sequence. We took a wrong turn on the way home so were a little late to church but it was not a problem.

After church I enjoyed going out to eat with the family including Laura. It was nice to see her even if for a short time.

We are rejoicing in the news of Jonathan’s new job at World Vision. He found out yesterday. He will start on 6/5/06. Thank you God.

Our Oldsmobile was in the shop over the weekend. It needed a new water pump, hoses and connectors. It still needs a new motor clamp but we are going to wait until another paycheck for that repair. Car repairs are never fun but we’re glad it can be fixed and we have alternate transportation in the meantime.

Chris’s final is tomorrow. He will be glad to have the classes over but will still have to stay studying until his certification test on 6/12/06.
