Brown County

Everyone has been telling us that we had to visit Brown County here in Indiana during the fall, because it is so pretty when all the leaves have changed colors. So Sunday Steven and I took the 30 minute drive out there. The drive itself was beautiful, but it's a busy road and there wasn't really anywhere we could pull over to take pictures. We ended up finding one spot to pullover on our way back to Bloomington and were able to get these pictures. They don't quite give the view justice, but at least you get the idea.

New Callings

Last Sunday our Bishop came to our house and extended a new calling to us to be in one of the 3 nurseries in our ward. We willingly accepted and were sustained in church today. However, during the course of church while we were in the nursery we found out that everyone was a little confused as to what are calling was supposed to be. We ended up being set apart after church as being primary workers, but no one really knows yet where we will be. It kind of sounded like we might be teaching one of the primary classes instead of being in nursery, but who knows. Anyhow, that's the latest.

It's Finally Finished!

The baby blanket that I started crocheting in high school as a young womens project is finally finished! It's only taken something like 6 or 7 years to finish, but yesterday I put the final stitch into it. It's a little smaller than I'd origianlly planned, but that's okay. I'm just proud of myself for getting it finished. Below are a couple pictures,. I apologize that they aren't the best representation, and that they look a little green, but you get the idea.
Oh, and no it won't be used anytime soon for those of you who are getting ahead of yourselves!

Date Night

Last weekend we had the chance to attend opening night of the first show put on by the students at IU. We were also able to get together with all of the grad students and their significant others that are in Steven's program for dinner before the show. We had a really great time and it was fun for me to get to know the other students that he's with all week. I always hear so much from Steven about them building the sets and getting everything ready for the show, but I never really appreciate all the hard work they do until I see the final project on stage. It's no secret that theater isn't really my thing, but I can now see and appreciate all the work that goes into a production.
