The Two Trees

I received an article from a church friend on the story of Adam and Eve. It is a wonderful way to show that men and women are equal and have definite roles that they each play. I'm going to attach a link from fairlds.org and let you have the opportunity to read it in full. I hope this helps give a different perspective (but same principles) on the events that happened in the Garden of Eden.

Another Day At School

So I had another great day at the language school. Right now we have a teacher called Annette Yde. She has been a teacher for like 29 years and she is so GREAT!! I have learned so much in her classes. 

Simon made "oatmeal cookies" today. It ended up being to runny and turned into a cookie cake. It was SO sweet and of course we ate it anyway.   :P

So my best friend Majorie is due December 4th 2010. Today, while waiting for Simon to get off work, we sat in the library (it's HUGE!!) and talked about her last experience. It gave me a little bit of baby fever. I think I'm starting to get ready to make an absolute decision about having a baby. 

...I mean that up until now I've kind of not been sure if I was completely ready for a child but I think being around Majorie (who has an almost 2 year old and one on the way) had helped me stop freaking out so much. Thanks Majorie. :) Now I'm not freaking out so much and really looking forward to my turn.

Hopefully soon... we'll just have to wait and see. :P

Well, I'm going to go read the last chapter of my book. Love you all!

Brief Note

I loved reading about Melanie's college life. It is great following all of that. I can't wait to start school now.

I just did a big presentation about my life,childhood and family. I loved being in front of the class. I can feel that my Danish is really improving. I hope to be able to work really soon. I'm probably going to apply at a Rema 1000 or Superbest (kind of like Albertsons but WAY smaller). I'll keep y'all posted on if I get a job or not. :)

I have posted a lot of pictures on facebook on my recent sailing trip, baking experiences among other things. Let me know if you have questions or anything! I love y'all and miss y'all loads!!

Quick Blog

I saw everyone posting and thought that it was my turn to post something. 

Language school is going great. I made holiday bread and took it to school today. Everybody loved it and wanted the recipe. (I still have to type it up in Danish though...). I was called as Young Women's President and I'm excited to work with the girls! I have 2 - Amanda (Beehive) and Charlotte (Laurel). Simon is still really enjoying work and he is good friends with his boss.  

I'm searching for a job right now but I haven't found anything yet. I'm crossing my fingers.  It would be nice to get more shopping money.

Speaking of shopping... :D
I went shopping the other day with Birgit, her sister Jytte, and Majorie (from the language school). It was really fun. I bought a pink dress, a pair of shoes (the sandal type), and a really pretty light purple shirt. I went shopping again today and bought a lot of things. I bought 6 dresses, a pair of low heels, and a cover-up for one of my dresses. All that was for 200kr. That is incredibly cheap!! It was almost like being in the states.. almost, but not quite.

I'm about to start working out a lot.. I've eaten a few too many cakes (the problems of learning to bake delicious cakes and rolls and things...). My goal is 2 kilos in 2 weeks. I think I can do it.. I think I can,  I think I can, I think I can...

Simon bought a pair of roller blades last month and we are starting to get out more. I love going roller-skating with him. It's almost as fun as ice skating. :D I really enjoy ice skating.

Life is going great and having a great time together. This Sunday is our 1 yr 9 month anniversary! I can't believe it's almost been 2 years. 

I'm not preggo but we do plan to have kids soon. I really want to finish language school (should be done by next June/July) before though so I don't have to go back to language school after the child gets old enough. We'll see how it goes.

I've really enjoyed keeping up with my family in Texas. I talk to Jenni almost everyday. I got to see little Jacob and Lizzie!! They are so cute!! I can't wait to hold them!!

I love my hubby and my family!!
With love,
Rachel Anne
