My Weekly Doings

Here are the things I have been doing this week.

Reading

There is just something nice about having a good book to come home to.

I have started reading this book and it is really enjoyable. It is about a family of Baptist missionaries in the Congo. The family basically does everything you are not suppose to do as missionaries. It is a really good read so far and I love reading about the family's perception of Africa. It makes me laugh as I think of my two trips to Africa and it makes me miss Africa.

Cooking!

I think it have been 4 weeks, 8 hours, and 2 minutes, 38 seconds since we have eaten out last. I love eating out...I blame my father for instilling that into me. But vet appointments, car inspections, and school fees means a tight budget for the Pacs. Translation: cut all unnecessary cost, especially eating out. It has been challenging having to cook every night, especially since I am a horrible grocery shopper and forget to get all the ingredients sometimes. Opps! But I have been cooking and (this is a really big step for me) eating all of our left overs. Chad loves left overs (gross!) and once even ate a whole 9X13 pasta dish that was an utter failure of my newlywed cooking abilities. I would like to say I have gotten better at cooking since now I am eating the leftovers too.

Enjoying my flowers!

Flowers from my boss! She hated to see all the flowers from Valentines go to waste at the store so she bought some and gave me a dozen roses. Chad hardly ever buys me flowers because although they are pretty, they die which makes them a waste of money. (We could of used that money to go out to eat!) But these flowers have been a nice treat. It makes me happy to walk into the kitchen every day and see these beautiful flowers smiling at me!

Discovered the best thing...Gummy Vitamins!

For those who know me well, I hate swallowing pills. I blame it on my bad gag reflex that I was born with. I have to do a whole embarrassing process to swallow pills, that Chad finds very amusing. So naturally, when I saw these Chewable Gummy Vitamins at Target I bought them immediately and have enjoyed chewing them everyday!

Mailed in our taxes!

Taxes for us means a small amount of money back- woop woop!

Chad has done his usual- study, study, and study.

He saw his second patient on Friday. It went a lot better than his first.

His spring break is 2 weeks away and he can't wait- neither can I for that matter. My family is coming down and then Chad and I are going camping. (Anyone know of any good camping spots around the Houston area?)

That sums up our week.

Hope you have a wonderful Saturday!
