Coming up with blog titles is so hard.
My poor coworker got sick in her garbage can today and went home early. I hope she recovers okay and I hope it's not serious.
At work I got to look at some pictures from the co-founder of the company, who is on a mission with his wife in South Africa. For Christmas each year, we all donate $$ and it is used to buy gifts for the management. This year, instead of buying gifts, the $$ was given to this co-founder to use for the people he is serving on their mission. He decided to take a large group of people on an overnight trip, to do baptisms at the Johannesburg temple. I think he said there were 44 youths and 15 adults or something like that. I guess all of those people have planned and prepared for this trip - which may be the only time in their lifetime that they get to go - and it was really neat to see the pictures. The kids wrote thank you letters in their varying degrees of english - most seemed to know it pretty well. It was so touching to see their cute personalities come through in their letters. One person wrote, "you're the bomb," and drew a little picture of a bomb. And another signed the letter and said, "here's my autograph for when I become famous." But just to see how overall truly grateful they were and how much that one trip effected their lives, it was very humbling. I think that would be so fun to go on a mission like that someday.
I'm going to start doing some light bookkeeping for the CPA. I don't think he's actually an employee of the company - I'm not sure how that's set up. But his books are maintained seperately, so I'll be going back to Quickbooks for that portion of my job. In turn, he's going to start overseeing the payroll taxes, instead of the CFO. So he'll be the one I go to with any tax questions, etc. I think it will be fun - something different yet familiar. I for sure enjoy having new things to do at work, so I'm excited.
Geoff finished his last finals today, so tonight we played. We bought a new kitchen-garbage can. We've had the old one since we got married and it was gross. And we got sodas at the gas station and came home and watched recordings of Ghost Hunters and the Biggest Loser. Even though we already knew who was getting kicked off. Yesterday I just happened to turn the TV on right as Filipe was being told he was not the biggest loser, so it kind of ruined the ending, but we watched it anyway.

What was your co-worker doing in her garbage can? It'd probably make me sick too.
How nice that you got a bunch of real responses from the thankful people who used your donation. It always feels better knowing that it really went where you sent it. Of course, with the church, you can trust that they use the funds the best anyway.
My whole wheat, white beans instead or butter, chocolate chip cookie recipe is on my food blog. http://fantasticfamilyrecipes.blogspot.com/2009/03/whole-wheat-chocolate-chip-cookies.html
That's the link to the actual recipe. I got it off of a different site though. I didn't make it up. They are yummy though. Plus, healthy.
