That Stinky Garlic Smell

Patrick and I went grocery shopping the other day and bought a seemingly harmless clove of garlic. Little did we know that the next day our whole apartment would be taken over by this powerful garlic smell!
I thought that if I just put it in a ziploc bag it should be fine, and it was for about a day. The smell came back! So, I put it in a tupperware container. Keep in mind that it is still in the grocery bag, ziploc bag and now in a tupperware container as well.
Today, I came back to the apartment after our Primary Program practice and the apartment smelled like garlic again! What is the deal with this thing? I'm not so sure I want to eat this garlic. How long will I be smelling like garlic if I do?

Job Search

Kelli is now unemployed. She was let go this morning. She needs a new job, if you know of anything, please let me know. Thanks.
We should be fine with everything for now. We just need something to help with the baby stuff.
Right now, I'm feeling okay. I'm excited to get a new job, I really didn't like where I was working and I'm happy to be moving on. I just wish that it were on my terms and not someone elses.

Bird Outside My Window

Patrick and I are "lucky" enough to have pigeons all over our apartment complex. They like to sit on our porch railing. Every once in a while I like to scare them away by hitting the sliding glass door. Today, they decided to get me back.

I was standing in our kitchen, looking through the cupboard by our window. While I was standing there one of the pigeons must have seen me standing there and decided to peck at the window to scare me, which it succeeded at. I of course then hit the window back and it flew away. The nerve of some birds!

Interesting Teacher

I have this black purse that I use all the time. It is simple and just the right size so it fits all the things I need without me having to rummage through eight hundred yards of fabric. Its great!

Well, the other day at school, I had it sitting on the table in front of me and I bent over to pick up my backpack when the class was over. When I came back up, I realized that my teacher had run from across the room to stand right in front of me! I looked up at him and he said, "Your purse! It's a smile! That's amazing!" I gave him one of those laughs that shows you get their joke, but you are ready for them to move on to another subject.

I then proceed to get my things together and attempted to exit the room. Unfortunately, my teacher had other ideas. He ran to his bag and got his digital camera. He actually wanted to take a picture of me with my purse held up to my face like it was my smile! I lucked out and the batteries in his camera had died. I guess I can't use that purse on Wednesdays anymore.

First Sunday

Yesterday, was my first Sunday teaching my primary class. Things went okay. They are a handful and I did have to confiscate an item. You would think by the age of twelve they would be able to not throw a quarter across the room. Apparently not though.
Next week we start practicing for our primary program. They are flip-flopping our schedule so I will only have four for my class time, since one of my boys goes to Young Men's now. This young man also happens to be the biggest handful of all. Hopefully, things will continue smoothly.

Doctor's Visit

This morning, I had another visit with the doctor. Everything is going well and we are right on track. We heard the heart beat and it is at 150. Next, month is our glucose testing and the month after that is our 3D ultrasound. Patrick is pretty excited for that. We are so thankful that things are going so smoothly and we know that we are really blessed.
