Alas, loyal readership (as I am discovering some of you are!), I did not blog yesterday. This was partly due to the fact that we spent a long time with "Smith" family, so in someways I felt that I had already communicated a bit more of my life. My apologies to all who were not with us yesterday! In short, the day was spent with our lovely church friends who had us over for soup on a wintery afternoon. We then headed to Naptown for some DELICIOUS lamp dinner made by my sister and supplemented by my aunt. It was delicious! I'll have to post the recipe some time. And we got to hang out with our niece and nephew, which was delightful. We love them so much. So, a beautiful day of being fed by lovely people.
Speaking of being fed - anyone have advice on how to save on groceries? Jon and I have been keeping a fastidious budget these past 2 months, and are shocked by how much food we consume now that we have a solid "meal" every night (my bachelorette days were filled with cheese and cracker dinners) and Jon eats lunch every day (wasn't possible at his last job). We aren't buying anything extravagant, just the basics, yet still seem to be spending many more bucks than we anticipate! Our strategy this month is to do weekly sprints to the store, rather than large stock-ups (we'd go about twice a month and fill up then); hopefully this will help us stick to the list! I will keep you up-to-date!
Highlight of today: Church-meeting where we got to learn alot about our church and it's on-goings, plus talking with Jerdan parents!
Lowlight of today: tomorrow is Monday - need I say more?
