Monday started off good trying out the apple pie overnight oats that I made the night before.  Paul liked the pumpkin overnight oats from last week better but I think I like the apple pie ones better.  I made pork chops for dinner, cleaned up dinner while I waited for Paul to get home.  We did our daily goals and went to bed.

Tuesday was very productive.  I went to the tax office and renewed our car registrations before heading into work.  I got out of work early and ran errands before coming home and making chicken enchiladas for dinner.  Paul had a long day and fell asleep pretty quickly after eating dinner.  I finished my goals for the day before heading to bed too.  
Happy birthday to Eliza on Wednesday!   

Thursday Paul got to leave lab early for the first time in forever!  I asked my boss if I could leave early too and he said yes.  Paul got home about 5 minutes before me.  We got a package from Wendy with a baby quilt, some books, and a cute apron.  We had our date night early and went to dinner and went for a drive.  

Friday was a normal day.  I went to work and got paid and got to leave pretty early.  With my paycheck, my boss approved the raise I asked for in August! So that was really awesome.  He said he had to wait to approve it for the new quarter.  I thought I wasn't going to get it but I did!  It was very exciting.  I came home and made some pumpkin muffins to have for breakfast for conference.  Paul and I said that we were going to do laundry and grocery shopping Friday night so we could relax on Saturday but neither of us had the energy by the time Paul got home, so we didn't do those things.

Saturday we both woke up motivated to get the chores done before conference.  I felt like we had so much time since it didn't start until 11:00 AM.  So we did laundry in the morning and Paul cleaned the cars then came in and helped me finish cleaning the apartment.  In between sessions we got our groceries.  

Sunday morning I made pumpkin waffles.  Paul liked them but felt that the pumpkin stuff was getting old.  We joined the Christensen zoom call that night and Paul got on to say bye to Ben before he flies to Portland, OR this week, then he left to call his grandma.

Congrats to Ben on his mission call to Paris, France that he got on Tuesday.  We are very excited for him! Ben sent me a picture of the chocolate chip cookies he made for his friends coming over to hear him announce his call.  I put it up on Instagram with the recipe and I had several people reach out to me to tell me they were excited about the cookie recipe.  I haven't really had that much excitement before so I got excited and got a phone mount from Walmart and made a video of how to make the cookies and posted it.  I got a lot of good reception, so I will probably do a lot more videos instead of just posting pictures, which adds a new element and is really fun.  Since the wards combined I've met a few new people in the ward and Sunday night we hung out with a couple in the ward that have a 10 month old.  They are really sweet and fun and we're glad we're finally able to start making connections in the ward.  I also got a calling today, I ...

 Monday was my replacements first day.  We filed a PCT application.  I made tacos for dinner.  Tuesday I went in to work and had a lot to do, so I was setting up my replacement, Kaylee, with another PCT application, since she had done one yesterday.  I guess I overwhelmed her because she started crying.  I told her that she didn't have to work on the PCT if it was too much.  She ended up just shadowing me until 3 PM.  Then I passed her off to one of my coworkers to learn how to send letters to clients so I could get going on a report Scott needed done.  Paul worked until 9 PM, so I just made myself a grilled cheese and some tomato soup for dinner.  Dr. Nam was going to throw a Christmas party this year but somebody sniched and the department told her she couldn't do that.  That made Paul and me sad.  Wednesday I got to work a little early because we got our carpets cleaned.  Kaylee worked with my other coworker, Robert, al...

We did well with our goals this week and were productive at work and school.  We had a lazy weekend.  We attended Stake Conference through zoom and our favorite talks were the recent converts who spoke during the Saturday General Session.  Their stories were heartfelt and their testimonies communicated the Spirit powerfully.  The first speaker was especially good.  He was a young man from France and his father was Muslim and his mother was catholic but he did not grow up going to church.  They moved to the U.S. when he was a teenager and he moved to Texas as an adult.  His parents got a divorce and that made him want a change in his life.  His cousin also lived in Dallas and is a member of our church and he invited him to come to church with him.  The recent convert suddenly experienced serious health issues and had to stay home a lot.  He read the Book of Mormon and received many priesthood blessings for his health.  He w...
