Moving in, quilting, and buying books...

The title of this post pretty much summarizes what I've been doing this week. Monday afternoon I got off early from work and went to my room and packed. It was grand. I am no longer a Foster Child.
After dinner we started moving Emma's stuff and of course it has to be the hottest week of the year. But we didn't let that discourage us. This is what discouraged us.

And while we disencumbered this pile of junk we listened to this song.



Now, don't judge me for this song. I just like the way it sounds. :-)

After deciding to take a break, we celebrated our new "home" with the opening of French Soda Lemonade. And boy, is it good.

Let me just say that we drank this after we scarfed down a 32 ounce Sonic sweet tea, a McDonald milkshake, and french fries. If that doesn't make you sick, then I don't know what will. Actually it was all delicious because we were hungry. :-)

Our room looks better now! Emma's side still needs a little organzing, but I will work on that after I finish writing. :-)

Last night we "finished" our room and ran a couple errands (they threw away our shower curtain and shower curtains are very much needed in a dorm) and I went running with Kristen. I was super excited because I made this running playlist over the weeked. I even entitled it, Christi's Running Music. And here is what it includes. :-)

"Far Away"-Lecrae
"One Day"-Matisyahu
"God of This City"-Chris Tomlin
"Breath In"-Lecrae
"Background"-Lecrae
"Viva La Vida"-Coldplay
"Minstrel's Prayer"-Cartel
"No One Like You"-Chris Tomlin
"Wake Me Up When September Ends"-Green Day
"Battle"-Chris August

I really want to get the song "Dogs Days Are Over" by Florence and the Machine. It's a great running song.
Anyway, our run was good. We did a mile and weren't dead by the end of it. I am so thankful for Kristen. It's so encouraging having someone to run with.

During the day I've been working on my quilt. I basted it together over the weekend and have started quilting! Yes, I know. Very exciting. :-)

It's a slow process, but worth every minute of it. :-) I enjoy quilting thoroughly. And I don't know if that's weird or not... maybe it is. But oh well. I still like it. :-)

And today I bought books. Three, to be exact. Books are so expensive. In this picture sits over $400. I'm going to guard them with my life.

Thankfully my dear co-worker is letting me borrow most of those books. She is a blessing to be sure. I have all my books except 3. And I'm contemplating not getting one of them because I was told that you never use it. I'll just have to see when the semester starts and how the class goes. I'm waiting on one that I ordered from Amazon, my FIRST nursing book! I'm super excited. :-)
And the other one is Microbiology... which is a $100 book and I'm waiting to hear from a friend on whether I can buy it from her for cheaper or borrow it. We shall see. :-) I just love books. Especially school books.
