Solo drive

Yesterday we were out of milk (among other things) so I really needed to get to the store. Casey was in class all day so I went out on my own (with the boys). And...I survived! I thought I'd try a "new" store...one that I hadn't been to before. It was called "Save A Lot"...sounded like a good choice. It is a smaller version of a grocery store, prices were good, but there isn't variety. If you need ketchup, there is one type of ketchup, milk, bread, etc. I was able to find most of what I needed so that was good. Check out started normal, I put my items on the conveyor and the checker added them up...but then she put them back into a cart (no bags). It wasn't a big deal, but it would have been good to know before hand. There was another station that had bags, so you could self bag your items. Again, not a big deal if you don't have two kids practicing karate on each other while you are trying to get it all done.
In other news, Casey has a lot of classes, lessons, ensembles, etc. One drawback to being a music student is that many classes are only 1 or 2 credits (some even .5). So, for Casey to be a full time music student (10 credits), he has to take a lot of classes. Casey received some good encouragement from his voice professor who said Casey could be singing professionally! There is an opera here in Fort Worth that does productions every spring, something for us to think about anyway....
After much prayer, Casey turned down the worship leader position I mentioned in the last post. It is hard to turn down a "job" when you need one, but we knew this wasn't the right fit for us. It was a smaller church and almost 45 minutes away. We will keep praying about a job and the church (Wedgwood Baptist Church) we are now attending (which I really like!).
