With my decision to post more often than every 4 months, I also decided that my blog needed a face-lift. Voila. A new template.
Also new is my job at JCPeney's. Greenwood Park Mall. Come buy shoes from me and support my family :-) It should be fun: yesterday was my first day on the floor, and several old ladies called me a "sweet little sales girl."
To go with my new job, I got a new pair of dress pants. A medium-brown color with pinstripes from Target. Pretty spiffy if you ask me.
Another new thing: Monday night Ryan and I made shrimp alfredo with pasta and roasted roma tomatoes. The Shrimp alfredo isn't new; that's one of our favorite meals. However, I chopped up some spinach and sauteed it with garlic to add to the alfredo sauce. MMmmmmm. The tomatoes were really good too: basil and garlic with parm cheese. Next time I'll try to give it a little more flavor.

Day 19 of wedlock
Just finished Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. My first longer-than-a-speech exposure to Vonnegut - I've only read his "Fates worse than death" speech before. Not sure quite what to think about it, how to respond, etc. I read it as part of SSRPC's book club - we're meeting tonight to discuss it. Hopefully the other women will be able to shed some light on my fuzzy understanding.
Next in line: Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. I LOVED Hurston when we read her in Am Lit III - so peppy, funny, and confident. Her writing has blown me away in just the first couple chapters.
Re-read/close reading: The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis. I'm leading the high school/college girl's book study at SSRPC this summer. Yesterday was our first meeting, but the books weren't in so we just discussed love in our culture and in Scripture (with the help of a weird-almost-funny-but-a-bit-true article i found on the web ). I've been looking for a study guide, but can't find one. Usually study guides aren't all that helpful, as they contain knowledge-level, close-ended questions, but I can't even find a bad one. Maybe once I'm done this study I can publish the first-ever study guide on this book :-)
In other news, I put up some wedding pictures on Facebook (a few out of over 800).
