Last weekend

Last weekend, I went to my parents house, where we butched pigs on Saturday. One of my brothers came with his family and my sister and her family also came. I took turns with grinding, along with spending time with my nieces and nephew and working on my school things. Me and my sister

Flowers

Last Monday was Valentines Day. Soon after I got home from school, a car pulled up to my house and a man got out with flowers and told me that he had a special delivery for me.....a delivery from Andrew...the flowers and card were a good way to the end of the day... :)

Last weekend

Last weekend was full of fun! We went out to eat at Applebee's in Watertown....

We also went to a place in Milbank to eat with my (Rebecca) parents.

We decided to go to Sioux Falls and go skiing and tubing. I (Rebecca) hadn't been skiing since I was about 6, so it was like starting over! We both had a fun time with learning though. The hills were fast for tubing and you could go down together, which made the ride twice the fun! :)

Sewing Project

Rebecca and I decided to try our hand at a little sewing, so Melanie(Rebeccas Mother) helped us get started by first showing us how to run the sewing machine.

Next we figured out how to cut out the patterns, and it was easy to tell which ones were Rebeccas because of the perfection in her work, and the different print.I know that typically males don't do much sewing, but Rebecca helps outside with chores, so I just think that I should help her inside with house duties. It is also very fun to me, to learn new things.

I get a rush everytime I use the sewing machine and I wish that I could just sew miles of fabric!

Rebecca is a natural at sewing as with many other homemaker tasks, and I am very thankful for that, and if God blesses us with children after we get married in June, they will be happy as well.




Here is the finished product, and we used them immediately to make supper, and it turned out good too. We have not perfected too many skills, but at least we have a start on them and are capable of raising a family.
