A day in the Life Post

Our day 
Today was a snowy day and the roads were terrible, so we mostly stayed home.  It was a pretty typical morning.  We aim to start school at 9:30, but it usually happens around 10:00.  Christian had work off because of the weather.  I'm trying to cut out caffeine again, so today I mixed Coffig, which is just dried figs, with some half decaf and half regular coffee. It was pretty good, but not as good as Teeccino, and more expensive. 

 I had to go out for Laundry detergent and printer ink, but I was able to walk to the stores.  I've been making sourdough bread about once a week, and today's loaf came out great! I told Christian he needed to take some classes or do some volunteer work because he doesn't have as many hours at Wendy's during January and February.  He chose a free Greek course and a church history course, and he is enjoying both of them. Sophie found out today that the youth band is learning three new songs, so she got some practice in. 

My parent's found Sophie this nice desk for free on Craigslist, so we do Algebra on the computer in her room . I've been watching the lessons and doing most of the problems with her, then we compare our answers before she types them in.  It's kind of fun! There were a few other school subjects on the list for Sophie today, but she ended up watching a documentary with me instead. Sophie's voice lessons were canceled, but she still had youth band practice and youth group. Her youth leader, Sara, picked her up. After she left, Christian helped me with cleaning the floors and rugs, and  then I made dinner.


I love that Christian and I set aside time each afternoon to read the Bible together. Today we talked for an hour about a chapter in proverbs, books he's been reading, and about life in general. We also played Cribbage.  I normally have Ballet class on Thursday evenings, but that was also canceled. I used that time to practice for a dance that three others are doing with me this Sunday at church. After Sophie got home, she printed out pictures for her Kpop journal, and she worked on that while we finished the documentary. Then we all went to bed.
