Weekend Update

I'm not sure what's going on with my eyes in this picture, I promise I was not only awake, but also completely sober! Not the best picture of me ever, but oh well!
We had a fun, but busy weekend with AJ in town. It was so good to hang out with a familiar friend and Steve was so happy to have him around. It was especially timely for Steve to have a good friend to laugh with.Hanging out at Chris & Tina's

Saturday we took him down to the Union for famous Babcock ice cream and then Saturday evening we all went to The Grumpy Troll in Mt. Horeb.
Mt. Horeb, WI is not only the troll capitol of the world, but also the mustard capitol of the world! I had never been there before, but in the last few weeks I've literally heard 3 or 4 different people talk about this place. When you drive in to town there's little trolls all over. I couldn't really decide if it was more cute or creepy, but I'm venturing to err more on the side of creepy.
The Grumpy Troll was a fun little restaurant/brewery with good beer. We tried a bunch of samplers of all their beers and they were pretty tasty! I especially liked the coffee flavored beer. Sounds gross, but it was oh so heavenly!
I'm also pleased to announce that I kicked butt in Uno! I normally am so not good at games, but the coffee flavored beer must have given me the kick I needed, because I kicked some serious booty! I know, I know, it's just Uno, but I gotta brag about something, right?
Being a good sport despite his big loss. :)
All in all it was a good weekend. We haven't been home much at all, so I was actually looking forward to coming home yesterday afternoon to clean the house. Crazy, huh?

On to other news, despite the attempt at negotiating salary, the company that has offered Steve a job refuses to come up from their original offer. He needs a job very badly, so we just decided to take it. Realistically it's not enough money for us to make it, but when I look back on the last year of our life literally everything that has happened to us has been a miracle, so we are completely trusting that God will work it all out. I know it will be fine, I'm just really interested to see the creative way that God uses to work things out this time. All in all we are so very grateful that he was even offered a job with the way things are with the current job market. Really, when you look at the big picture we just can't help but feel thankful. Despite my occasional complaints, we really are so blessed!
