Since Then

Two weeks ago, my cousin and his girlfriend came to visit us. Sam and Karen are lovely people to be around. They are a lot of fun. Unfortunately the weekend they came was very rainy and cold here in Austin, so we weren't able to do as much as they wanted to outside. I did get to cook for them, however, and that was fun for me.

I have begun my internship for school with my current employer, Fine Home Dining. It has kept me busy, but I really enjoy what I do. Hopefully this is just a stepping stone for owning my own business someday.

Last Monday with Chris's 27th birthday. We celebrated by going to a movie and out to dinner. Thanks to everyone who emailed him a birthday wish. I made his cake and we brought ice cream to our community group that we shepherd from our church. It was fun to celebrate it with them.

We are excited for this weekend because my sister-in-law, Laura and her husband, Josh are coming to visit. They haven't seen our house yet, so it will be fun to host them. And of course, I am excited to cook. When we have company, it's an extra excuse to buy great products and cook really well. And people always feel special when they get to eat well.

And Chris will be going to Minneapolis for a few days next week, teaching AMD folks up there about the latest and greatest.
