Steve started working as a Medical Assistant back where he did his intern a couple weeks ago. He works Mondays and Fridays from 3 or 4 til closing at 10 pm or until they get all the patients out. It's hard to have him gone, but it's definitely good for him to get the experience he needs and to keep up on his skills. We don't know how long he'll stay there, but it works with his schedule now so we're thankful for that. Steve's school is keeping him busy as well, which he'll be glad to finish up this semester with his Associates. We're still figuring out what he'll do next semester, maybe take a semester off and get a quick break.
Steve is still working on our kitchen ceiling, but hopefully he'll get that done this week. I'll post pics of before/after as soon as it gets done.
We met with the branch president last week to get our temple recommends renewed, then went over to meet with the stake as well. Steve and I got our recommends renewed together when we got engaged. I can't believe it's already been 2 years since we did that last! Man time sure does fly. We'll celebrate our 2 year anniversary in January as well, wow!
While I was meeting with the branch president he left he for a while, then came back and we finished our meeting. He then asked Steve to come in so he could talk to us. We just thought he wanted to talk to both of us about our temple recommends, but instead he extended a new calling to me. We were both a little surprised needless to say. I won't get sustained and set apart til November 14th though; I'll tell you more about it then.
Since Steve works Friday nights, I had Eve come over to hang out. I put in a Digornio Pizza and Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls for dinner, then we just talked the whole evening. It was really good to see her and visit.

Yesterday Steve and Rob helped Dave move stuff out of Jeff's garage and back into his. I went to the temple while they were doing this. We then went and took our mattress back (the one we bought right after we got married) since it's been giving both of us back problems for quite a while. They said it must be a defect in the mattress, so they're going to refund the whole amount. Unfortunately we had to order in a new mattress (different brand), so we'll have to deal with this one a little while longer.
After we got done with the mattress, Steve and I went and volunteered at the D.I. for a couple hours. We were supposed to be unloading the dock, but they didn't need us there, so we ended up sweeping under and rearranging the furniture section. We then came home, had dinner, and I helped Steve with some homework. Steve was really hoping we'd have some trick or treaters, but we didn't even get one...so sad ;(
Today after church, I made the Cafe Rio pork. It turned our really well actually. I put it in the crockpot last night and it was ready to go by this afternoon. We invited Rob and a couple from our branch to come over as well. I also made the lime rice, salad dressing, and had beans, tomatoes, cheese and lettuce to top the tortillas. All the pork was eaten up, so I guess it must have been good :)
Last week I cut my hair. I just wanted to change things up and try something new. Here are some pics.
