It's been a while

I haven't written in a while, but there's not much to tell.

My life is pretty routine at the moment. Work 8-5, M-F. Work around Ben's schedule. He is very busy, some days I don't see him till 9 or 10 at night. :(

My weeks go by quickly:
-Monday work 8-5 and have dinner with Ben whenever he gets home. He has a class at 6:30AM then internship till about 8 at night.
-Tuesday work 8-5 and have dinner with Ben and Watch 24 (online because we don't have a TV). Ben has a class in the morning then internship again till late.
-Wednesday work 8-5, the week is half over. Ben is home all day so after work we have a grocery shopping date :)
-Thursday work 8-5 and then if Ben works I don't see him till late and I stay home and knit :)
-Friday work 8-4 and then Ben is home during the day then usually works at night (I sometimes see him pulling out of our apartment). I am home knitting again. I need and like the quiet times
-Saturdays and Sundays are usually pretty low key. Clean house, run errands, church, make meals for the week. and hang out with Ben when he's home.
Then it's Monday all over again....

I'm going to my parents house for a week in March. I can't wait to see Rachel, my niece. I miss all my family as well. I'll post pics.

My dog is doing well. She is such a joy and a big goober.

Well there's not much else to tell. I am very blessed and loving life.

Hannah

Ben and I have friends, the Eriksens who live in Southern CA. They have 2 little girls, Hannah and Lily. Hannah is 7 or 8 and they just adopted Lily from China I believe in August or September. Well right after Thanksgiving Hannah came down with this very unusual disease. She has pretty much been in 3 different hospitals since Thanksgiving. Here is her blog: HANNAH

Please pray for Hannah and her family. It's been really tough on them, and it's going to be a long road to recovery!

Knitting

Last year before I got my job I decided to teach myself to knit. I got some books out of the library and a starter kit from Michaels. I have one of those minds that likes puzzles and numbers. And it gives me something to do when I'm just sitting around watching a movie or something.

Right after I started this new hobby, I found out my brother & sister-in-law were gonna have a baby. So I got a baby blanket book and learned as I went. Of course I didn't choose a beginner pattern, so 10 months later I finally finished. Here's the blanket:

When that project was done I wanted to start something new where I could learn more. A lady I work with is a knitting expert! So she taught me how to make a Peruvian Flap Hat. I just finished it for my dad. I really enjoyed it.



So my next project... I think I am going to make another hat for my mom. YAY for knitting!
