A couple weekends ago I carved a pumpkin at a birthday party. It was a rather festive thing to do, and it made me feel very autumn-y. Sadly, my pumpkin only lasted a week before it got old and moldy. I came home one day and noticed its upper lip was caving in - it got worse over the next couple days. The poor pumpkin had a massive underbite by the time it went into the trash can! It made me giggle every time I came home, so I thought I'd share a picture of my defeated jack-o-lantern. Poor guy.
In other news, I spent the weekend with my cousins Ashley and Rudy. Their birthday present to me was a photography class so I can better learn how to use my digital SLR camera. Ashley and I took it together this morning, and I learned some super helpful information! I think I finally understand what aperture, f-stop, and shutter speed are. The class was quite challenging for me, and I found myself thinking more than once, "I have no idea what she (the instructor) is talking about". She was very good, but it was a lot of new information and vocabulary!
Speaking of cousins, tomorrow cousin Ashley is moving to College Station. I'm sad about that. I know it's the best decision for her family, and I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for them down in Aggieland. At the same time, I will miss her dearly. I'm thankful God graciously placed us in Dallas for the last seven years, and I'm grateful we've had the opportunity to build that relationship. Ashley, you have been such an encouragement to me - know that you and Rudy will be missed by all of us Dallas folk.
Your blog! It changed!! I like the ribbons on the side=) Love the pumpkin picture - we didn't get to carve one this year, because they were $6.99 at the store, which I thought was too much...so I kept waiting for them to go on sale...and waiting...until they were all gone. Flynn was annoyed, but said he should have known I would do something like that.
ReplyDeleteSad about Ashley leaving! I liked the pictures of Olivia on fb in her marley costume! Funny.
