weekend re-cap, Monday Goals and plans

Saturday night Jeremy and I attended the Oklahoma Humanities Awards Banquet, and got to stay to hear Dr. Mary Frances Berry lead a public forum on race and gender's roles in politics and our changing country. It was very interesting and insightful and I am glad we got to attend even though I didn't feel very well. Here's a pic it was fun getting all dressed up.

and I completed my first cake for class on Sunday I think it turned out Ok for my first cake I know I could do a better job getting the icing smooth but I was sick on Friday and wound up making this cake late Saturday when I finally sort of felt better and I didn't take my time. Next time I will take extra care icing the cake itself. The decorating part was suprisingly easy for me to do and I am excited to continue on in classes.

Here's the cake before icing after leveling.

You look gorgeous and your cake looks like it turned out well.

You have a busy week ahead of you.

I admire your ability to plan out your week ahead. So impressive!

Do you mind me asking what type of church you attend? Thanks!

Not at all right now we still
attend the church my father in law pastors. it's Central Southern Baptist basically Baptist without all the guidelines of Southern Baptists. For example we could dance at our wedding reception as long as the reception wasn't on church grounds.

It's still the same church we've had problems with but we finally decided we weren't going to let a few sour people run us off if we liked the over all message of the church. We're not as involved as maybe we'd like to be because I'm still a little gun shy about putting myself out there. However, we still love Sunday morning services and right now that's all we attend. My FIL is a teacher more than a preacher and often times show us the different contexts of words in Hebrew and Greek and how that changes the meaning and we love that it plays to both mine and Jeremy's tendency to want to dissect things and take them down to their very basic level.
