The girls came home for Fall Break this year. Ruby brought Kylie so they can enjoy some time together and go to a concert—a last hoorah before Kylie gets married and moves to OHIO! Those two have been roomies all through college and the whole relationship has gone smoothly. They really are a sweet pair.
Molly has gone to Cross Fit twice with Josh. We took her shopping with us today. And she has slept a lot because I am pretty sure she and Abby often have late night shenanigans.
The weather is chilly here finally! We sat around the fire pit last night just talking with the girls. And we somehow were talking about a funny marriage story from our newlywed days. One day in our first weeks of marriage Josh came home from work and I had made chili with a side of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It was yummy, and we moved on with life. I am sure I served this several more times throughout our first year or more of marriage with nothing notable about it.
So one evening we were having a Sunday School party with our class of other newly wed couples and a few small children thrown in by this time. The menu was chili with a side of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Seemed perfectly normal and standard to us!
Until.
One gal asked me, “What’s up with having peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Is that for the kids?”
I was like…., “UM, what do you mean? Do you not have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with your chili?” And everyone in the class was like….NO.
We laughed and were a little embarrassed. It’s just funny how when you merge two families together there are many things that you grew up doing differently that you have to talk through and eventually settle on how your family will do things. For us, it wasn’t chili and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. You should definitely try it if you haven’t before.
Mack decided to get up and drive home today. He doesn’t get a Fall Break. He has also been sleeping alllll day. His living situation isn’t going like we had hoped—pretty sure it’s a bit more rowdy than any of us could have anticipated. He isn’t a fan and for that I am super grateful.
I haven’t taken any pictures…..but I would like to shout out Hunter Bailey and Nathan Blow for boosting my stats here on the blog for one special day last week. LOL. Hope they’re having a great Fall Break, too!
