This week in review...

Last weekend my sister and niece came for a visit. We went to one of our favorite chinese places to have lunch. Then we came back to my house to bake apple pies.

While the pies were baking, we played several games of Apples to Apples. I think we each won at least one game. Then we played a Disney trivial pursuit game. That evening, my sister left to go visit a friend and my niece stayed with me. She wanted to go trick-or-treating which started in a few minutes. I don't celebrate Halloween and didn't have a costume for her. I decided to take her and she decided she could wear the pajama's that my aunt had given her this summer. I put her hair up in pigtails with pink ribbon to go with the pink panther pajamas.

While trick-or-treating, we saw Snow White. We also saw a cute costume: A boy was dressed as a hotdog vender and his dogs were dressed as hotdogs!

It was nice to see them 2 weekends in a row!

Sunday after the service, I was waiting my turn to enter the isle to leave when an older (not old) lady stopped to let me in. She looked me in the eye and sweetly said, "I don't believe we've met. What is your name?" I responded and then asked her what her name is. She told me and I recognized the last name...it is the same as the pastor's last name. I discovered she is his mother! We had a nice chat as we walked out together.

Monday I went to work and then to Bible Study; we are doing the Beth Moore Study on the book of Esther. It has been fun meeting so many ladies at church that I wouldn't have met otherwise. It is a great group and we are learning a lot! I'm learning things that I never learned in Sunday School about Esther.

Tuesday I got my hair cut again. I can't believe how much it had grown in just 5 weeks. It was almost 2.5 inches!

On Wednesday, I went to lunch with some former co-workers from the college I used to work at. It was nice to catch up with them.

Friday afternoon I stopped by to see the alumni director to catch up on what's going on. There is quite a bit...the office even has to move locations!

That is the updates for this week.
