An "old" friend

Here's a picture of Ruth and I (both wearing East Hall shirts, by the way)!
She was our first official overnight visitor besides family helping us move in. On Saturday night we had pizza with Ruth and Laura B.- it was a lot of fun. Ruth left for her parents' home in Idaho this morning. It was so nice to have her here to enjoy good conversations and "show off" our town, our house, and our church.
Thank you, God, for friends!

McNaught

Yesterday night Nate got some good shots of the comet; he sent some in to the Daily Sun News (the Sunnyside paper) and they published it.

On New Year's Day we decided to celebrate being married for 6 months (thats 1/2 a year in case you are confused by the mathematics of my title) by going out for Chinese. As I am still learning to appreciate Chinese food, I didn't try the mini-octopus. I stayed with "safe" things like sesame chicken and something similar to crab rangoons (yum!).
The other adventure of the day was making noodles.
Tomorrow it is back to school for me!
