Do y'all remember the day that I was so very excited about my bread machine?? I think it was my birthday this past December. For those of you who have just joined us here on the blog, I'd always wanted a bread machine and then I found one at the thrift store for $4!! I had dreams and visions of me being the best homemaker in Texas and rising early and making various, fattening, yeasty creations for my family. I think something is wrong with my machine... because it's not as magical as I thought it would be. You have to actually measure things and put them in the bread tray in the "correct" order. I don't even know what that means! My first attempt at whole wheat bread was horrific, my second attempt was even worse. My first attempt at rye bread landed the whole loaf in the trash after Tyler gagged (almost) while taking a bite. He hasn't touched rye bread since and he used to LOVE it. I scarred him for life I'm afraid. Our pizza dough comes out gummy and floury every time.
Maybe I need new recipes... maybe I need to give up my dreams of being a prairie woman.
Did anyone besides me love The Boxcar Children books? I mean I used to WANT so badly to be a "boxcar child" and eat bread and cheese in my red caboose house. Live all alone and be independent and grown up. I'm almost positive that they made their own bread!
On another note... Tyler and I are going to Ft. Worth on Thursday, and we are SO excited. I can hardly wait to see my friends and spend all weekend chatting and shopping and eating. I don't even really know what is going on this weekend (besides a schedule that Ashley sent to me) and it's SO great and freeing to not have to be in charge of anything!! Just tell me what time to be there, and what I should wear! I love you girls so so so so so much! And as for the boys... I love you too... you are doing such a wonderful thing for my man! What a refreshing weekend it will be!
Please be in prayer for my husband this week. Exciting things are happening this week and I'm so proud of him. Please pray for creativity and humility in every circumstance, and that the Lord's name would be made known through this endeavor. I'll explain more later.
Love you all!
