JELLO Baseball

As you all know I did not get to write a post last weekend. I took the time that I spend to write a blog and used it to pray and journal. It was much needed time of just refocusing life :) 

This week I held many verses and songs close to my heart. This is a song that I would pray...

 "Help Me Find It" by Sidewalk Prophets. 

                                                    I don’t know where to go from here

                                                             It all used to seem so clear

                                                   I’m finding I can’t do this on my own

                                                    I don’t know where to go from here

                                                    As long as I know that You are near

                                                                    I’m done fighting

                                                                  I’m finally letting go

                                                                    I will trust in You

                                                           You’ve never failed before

                                                                     I will trust in You

Every morning this week as I drove into work watching everyone hustle and bustle their way in and out of their lanes I thought about all that Jesus has blessed me with. He has blessed me with a car that gets me safely to work and back, a roof above my head, good health, friends and family that support me, prayers that others pray for me...my list went on and on! I may not know His plans for my future but I do know he promises to take care of me and He will continue to bless! 

The company I work for stays away from celebrating holidays just to respect everyone's culture, but we got to have "character day" the day before Halloween. I did not want to wear my bat girl costume and get it yucky before Halloween so I came up with something else. I dressed up as Colette from Ratatouille, and made this picture collage to show who I was.

 It was so fun to see all the little kids get to be some of their favorite characters. There were so many girls dressed up like Elsa from frozen and there were a good amount of Supermans too! I wish I could put up our class picture because all my babies were so cute, but you will just have to trust me on this one :)

I went to the Roundys house on Saturday from 8am to sometime late that night. I went to babysit the kiddos that morning and then Aubrey and I cleaned the house and baked for the Halloween party that they hosted. That morning we had poptarts for breakfast and then Christine, Andrew, and I played Jello baseball. We made pillow bases, our bats were kitchen tongs, and our ball was a jello box from the jello we made for the party. 

It was a really fun game! Hey, you got to do what you got to do when it is way too cold for Guam people to be outside :) For lunch we watched star wars, but it was the Phineas and Ferb version...it was pretty funny! 

That afternoon I got to help Andrew with his Math homework (I love this sweet boy).

Baking with Aubrey was so good because we were able to talk and bake at the same time or at least we tried to not forget anything in the oven. :) We made bat cupcakes, a hand and brain made out of jello, and spider cookies.

 At 6ish families from the Roundys church came and the kids went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood in different groups, I went with the Moms and the littlest ones. It was so fun because they were so excited about every piece of candy they got. 

Christine was wanting to go home after like the 8th house so she could eat her candy. :p 

 Smartie Pants and Batgirl  

A super fun Halloween was had and I left there with a cream soda and Guam chicken so I was a happy girl :)

Last Sunday was a hard day, but a good walk in beautiful weather to clear my head was perfect! This weather has been warm for November, but you dont here this girl complaining :)

Tuesday was National Sandwich day
Perfect, I had a excuse to go to my favorite place....SUBWAY! I love their cold cut, turkey, and ham sandwiches with EVERYthing on them (but Jalapenos) with salt and pepper and chipotle sauce....DELICIOUS!

This weekend I took my laptop to get fixed and the mall I had to take it to was so cool looking! I love this look! 

Today after church I baked a chocolate cake with chocolate icing that one of my coworkers ordered. It is not the best looking one that I have done, but it has been awhile since I have done one. 

Then I finished the day with a workout and some fresh air. I sat out on the porch to enjoy the perfect fall weather and get some stuff done on my laptop.

 It was the perfect way to finish the weekend and I am ready to beast out this next week! It will be a busy one because we have another training day on Wednesday so no day off for this chick! I get paid so I am ok with that it just makes for a long day of sitting and listening to people come in and talk to us about teaching stuff. I also am getting two days off for Thanksgiving so for that... I am thankful :)  

I hope you all have a great week!

With a pinch of love,
