MOPS this morning

I was the guest speaker this morning at MOPS. For MOPS this year, they are having speakers based on the different rooms in the house. This month they are focusing on the kitchen so they asked me to speak on Once a Month Cooking. I wasn't sure how it was going to go since I haven't done much public speaking before but it went quite well. I was allotted 20 minutes--and I went over. I could have easily talked longer. There were quite a few questions at the end so at least people were paying attention and seemed interested in what I was saying. I did a PowerPoint presentation and I wasn't sure I was going to be able to use it. They've never had a speaker use power point before so they weren't sure how to get it to work. Thankfully one of the husbands who does sound, etc on Sunday mornings was able to get it working.

Also at MOPS this morning we did a freezer meal exchange. So I now have an extra 8 meals in my freezer. I shouldn't have to cook now for quite awhile.

In other news, Ellie and I took a trip to the mall to buy her her first bra! My firstborn is growing up. It is really exciting to see her growing up and she is such a lovely young woman. I am so thankful that we are homeschooling this year so that I can spend more time with her and see how she changes. She didn't want to come home last night after shopping and kept asking if there were more errands we could run together. She loves spending time with me and I with her.

In even more news, our new kitchen table is being delivered next week Tuesday!!!!! I am quite excited, although I've got to figure out where to put the extra kitchen chairs. We certainly can't keep all 10 in the kitchen. We freecycled our old table this weekend so we are currently using the one that was in the laundry room.
