Week 7

A few things have happened this week. We decided to add a new family member (and no I am not pregnant). A friend of ours has a study that had some kittens, and after a long talk and writing down the pros and cons of getting a cat, we decided it best to get one. A sister in our hall was so kind to offer if we ever move to take the cat. That relieves a lot of worry for me. So we got a little girl cat and named her Bella. She has been a very calm cat. Sleeps a lot, probably because she is only 6 weeks old. So she was born a week after we came here. :) Then we had a couple over on Sunday night for dinner. I made a lasagna. Here is the recipe, it was really good: Open-Faced Lasagna. I would recommend trying it. I had to substitute a lot because we do not have canned anything really and bread crumbs you have to make yourself. Which I mean come on is not really that hard. :) Then we had some awesome ice-cream we bought here. There is a place that makes it fresh it was amazing, Mocha-coffee. MMMmmm! On Monday, Justin went to start golf at 6:30 am in the morning, before it got hot. But again like last time it was one of the coldest days. On Sunday it was 90 -100 degrees and then Monday was 50-65. Huge change for us. You can never put away winter clothing because you never know when it will get really cold again. I woke up at 8 and got everything ready to catch a bus to the vet with Bella. It was a surprisingly nice vet. I was quite impressed with the facilities and she was very kind. Then we took another bus to the Marsden's house for our Mexican Fiesta Day. LOL We come up with different meal plans on some Mondays, so we can all get together and enjoy lunch after the guys finish golf. So we made fajitas, nachos and salsa, burritos, corn, and margaritas. It was really good. I was surprised how good Bella was she slept the whole time on my lap. At first she was really bad running under the stove, almost burnt herself, and none stop crying. She just wanted to sit on someones lap and sleep. After that we went home and had Mario (the brother who builds our furniture) come over and go over the rest of the furniture we need. Only small things now like a pantry, nightstand, something to hide Bella's litter box and a decorative cat tree house. It is going to be really neat looking and blend in with the house. He brought his little girl and she loved playing on the iTouch I have. After they left we talked to friends back home and went to sleep. Today we were suppose to go in service, but did not because I could barely talk. Last night I twisted my neck weird and something pulled. Today it is hard to eat and talk a lot. I hope I am better for my talk tonight. I will let you know. Hope everyone is well.
