Brian came up with this during a deep sipirtual discussion.
The wording says: When Jabez asked for his bounderies to expand it had nothing to do with spirituality and everything to do with self-gratification.
“…they shall be fat and flourishing” Ps. 92:13-14
Over the last several days Brian and I have been busy with Christmas projects. 
Unfortunately, due to the
confidential nature of such projects, no pictures or descriptions can be posted.
There is one project however that I can put up for public viewing. I just finished making our stockings! I used the same fabric that is in our quilt and I really like how they turned out!
Now let’s just hope Brian can be good enough until Christmas to get something in his! 
Pride goeth before a fall….or a fire.
This morning as we were jogging, Brian and I were discussing various couples interaction at the Sunday school we had attended yesterday. We were on the topic of making jokes at your spouses expense and I said something about how it wouldn’t bother me if Brian made a joke about my cooking because I knew how much he liked it and I felt very confident in my abilities.
This afternoon I was cooking dinner for Brian; his favorite, chicken fried steak. Trying to manage several different items at once I let the oil for frying heat up real good and it started smoking. Next thing I knew the fire alarms in the entire dorm are going off. Great. I sheepishly call Brian up at work.
Brian: “hello my love!”
hi Brian…, um….this is sort of embarrassing.”
(hears the noise in the background) “ah, the fire alarms are going off?”
“um, yeah…but I didn’t even burn anything!”
“you want me to come turn them off?”
“you can do that? (thinks: my hero!) oh, but hasn’t it alerted other people?”
“well yes, it calls the front desk and a few other people”
(great, now we’ll have to put up with wise cracks about eating in the dining hall tonight)
Brian: “don’t worry, it only tells which dorm had the alarm, not which apartment it generated from”
“Um, Brian, we’re the only ones living in the dorm”
“oh yeah….well, I’ll swing by and shut them off”
“thank you”
I’m going on a date tonight!
Me and one incredibly handsome man are going to a choir concert to hear Christmas music. Our date will involve a little bit of Christmas shopping, a nice long car ride together, beautiful singing, and then out for a quick bite with his sister who was in the choir. This is going to be a great evening!
I’m here at front desk again.
Not too much is happening.
I wrote thank you notes.
I’ve now written 175 of them.
Only 30 min. until lunch!
This is my last day for this week.
I’ll be working two mornings next week.
Don’t know which two mornings that will be.
Scariest event of the day: Three phone calls came in at once!
