Homemade Caramel Apple Cheesecake..
No Worries..It was heavenly!
Homemade Monkey Bread...The pan I bought at the thrift store, hoping to save money, was not the smartest idea...
It leaked, burned, smoked, and caused me to become a little alarmed..But it turned out a-okay!!

Diggin' around at the nature center...
Wasn't really hoping to see this kind of nature at the nature center...Oh Well..get what you get!
And yes Mom, I did stop and take a picture of it...
Sitting on the big log..looking all cute!
What would I do with my time without Kirsi and Taryn...Don't want to think about it!!Update on Thomas' Crazy Life Here:
Thomas is still very busy. He had a good week last week. He finished it off with two 100's on the last two quizzes! He has a crazy week this week, with four quizzes and the midterm on Friday. I know you all keep him in your prayers, just say an extra few this week. He has two quizzes down, but has said they were very hard!! The more strength he gets from our prayer warriors, the better I know he will do!!
Short Weekend Update:
We had a blast again last Friday night at a fun game night with a few of the couples and some guys from the October Training Class. We went out to dinner on Saturday night at an Outback/Longhorn type restaurant called Timber Lodge. It was very yummy! After church on Sunday, I sat in on the Kindergarten Sunday School Class...and well, of course..fell in love! I'll be helping out whenever I'm there, hopefully even get to lead the small group lessons soon!
Update on the Teaching License:
Was told 3 to 4 weeks..Called this morning to check on it....
Now all of a sudden it takes 6 to 8 weeks. Okay.. Could have just told me that first!
Pray for me that I'll learn patience and gain understanding during this waiting period in my life!
It's been awhile, so I know it was a long blog, but hopefully you'll all stuck through to the end! Good to have you stay up to date with us! Now I think I'll get back to my library books...Owatonna Public Library is a grand friend! :)
Love you all!!
Thank you for keeping the updates coming. I love your pictures. I think you are finding ways to keep yourself busy! Your home is very festive. Praying Thomas has a good week. I know you'll both be glad when Friday PM gets here!
ReplyDeleteMallory, I love your Blogs. It is always good to hear what you are doing. Your pictures were very good and that caramel apple cheesecake sounds WONDERFUL! I'll keep both of you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteLove and miss you,

Great festive pictures...sounds like you & Thomas have made some good friends already. You've heard the saying, "Though you search the whole world for the beautiful, unless you take it with you, you'll never find it." Well, you've taken it with you...May God continue to bless you both.

Sounds like you are a very busy new housewife. All that cooking and decorating and shopping sounds like loads of fun. We can't wait til you and Thomas come home in a few short weeks. We are praying for strength for Thomas as he studies. Love to you both!
