how 'bout them apples...

let me first say that i stopped dieting in france. the french really know how to live: eat what you want, when you want, and get plenty of exercise. this seems to suit our lifestyle(for the most part) so the word "diet" never enters the waller household.

for instance, tonight at 10:30pm while bryce studies and i prepare for my parent conferences tomorrow at school(blast!), we are enjoying granny smith apples baked in butter and brown sugar. yum. who says you can't have sugar right before you go to bed? besides, it's fall(or at least about to be) and we might head north to julian this weekend to pick apples...

i am ready for cold weather to come so that we can cuddle up on the couch with blankets, books and hot apple cider. i think this will come sooner than later. for those that don't know yet, we are moving to montana in june! yup, that's right...montana! now, before you start thinking back to diane keaton making homemade applesauce in vermont in the movie baby boom, let me explain...

bryce was recommended by one of his professors awhile back for a one-year internship at rocky mountain community church in billings, montana. this is an awesome opportunity because he will have the opportunity to preach (consecutively for the first time), teach and gain more experience and training in pastoral counseling. though we are not incredibly jazzed about the frigid weather we'll be welcoming, we are thrilled for the opportunity to gain more ministry experience before heading...????

praise God for apples, cold weather, spouses and friends to share it with, and His perfect plan.
