Domestication

Well helloooo everyone.  We are recently back from Italy and learning how to be at home these days.  My loving husband went off to work today for the first time in a couple of weeks!  I am currently unemployed and trying to get settled in and take care of some things before going back on the job hunt.  I have a list of about 357 things to do this week, so naturally, I decided to start a blog!

Anyway, Italy was amazing, and we are SO grateful to the folks who made that possible.  Pictures to come soon!  (I mean, maybe).

I decided that since we are home now, maybe I should attempt some wifely things.  My first goal as a wife: make breakfast on Saturday morning.  I decided to make bacon, eggs, and toast.  I have never actually made bacon, but people make it all the time in real life and on tv, so I figured it was pretty self explanatory.  Not so.  I know I like cripsy bacon, so I stood around waiting for the bacon to look crispy.  Well, this turned out to be a bad idea that resulted in a few open windows to air out the kitchen.  Dave told me that the bacon will never look crispy while it's in the grease, so you have to take it out before then.  I mean really, who knew?

The bacon was in fact crispy, but in a sort of unedible way.  Breakfast attempt #1: FAIL.

In other news, Dave and I came back to Penny Lane Livingston, who is now a whopping 50 pounds and still the biggest goober ever.  I swear, sometimes she looks so regal, and sometimes she looks like a dumb dumb.  Thanks for letting her terrorize your house for two weeks, Mom and Dad!

 

Laci Wiener Kemp must think we are on some sort of weird vacation.  She seems like she is waiting for us to leave this house to go back to "Nana's."  I am trying to win her love back, so we'll see how that goes.  This is her response to, "Want to go to Nana's house?"

I think that's a yes.

On a more serious note, please pray for my Makarios friends while you are praying for Haiti.  Obviously, being so close to Haiti and so connected with the people, they are feeling the burden like ourselves to help in any way possible.  Some of them are going on trucks to take supplies to the hospital, and some are being prayer warriors and waiting for God's timing.  Pray for safety and discernment for them.  Gracias.

Besos.

Domestication: Fail.
