I love my new kitchen

I just rolled out the cookies on my new kitchen counter. I love it so much. It beats doing it at the kitchen table and breaking my back bending over to roll it out.
The "Cookie Counter" is the one on the right since there's so much room to spread out.

Ingredients

So I'm just sitting here waiting for Phil to get home with some flour. I was mixing cookie dough and realized I only had 2 cups of flour and need 5 cups. I guess I need to keep better track of my ingredients.
I'm making music cookies for the band picnic on Friday and onesie cookies for a gift for a baby shower on Sunday. Hope the rest of the process goes smoother than this. Pictures to come later...

Being Content in my unemployment

About a month ago I was put on a temporary layoff status. I was ok with this, as it was somewhat a voluntary thing. Most of the other ladies in our accounting department were their own income, so I new I was able to handle it the best. On Friday I found out this layoff would turn to permanent status. At first I was upset, a little amplified by some unsuccessful job interviews. But a friend wrote a note regarding her thought on her unemployment, and changed my perspective. Basically, she said that middle/upper class base so much of their lives on their career. Instead of dwelling on my unemployment, I need to take this time to grow closer to God, and to trust in His control. He provides for his children and I need to just remember that. So that being said, I'm more content, and focusing on my growth in the Lord.

Thanks to Amy for opening my eyes.
My girls who keep me in line...

Spring/Easter Cookies

Here are some cookies I've made this spring.


The icing on these changed color but I figured out why...the next ones will look better.

More Flowers...Better this time...


We are Homeowners


Today, Phil and I closed on our house. Unfortunately, we don't have the keys yet. The sellers couldn't be there so our agent is trying to get the keys for us tonight. Otherwise, we will get them tomorrow. I can't wait to just go sit in our new house!
