We live right across the street from the fire department and our bedroom windows faces their building.  We have curtains to block out the light, but curtains can only keep out so much sound.  I'm pretty sure most of the city of New Albany must have been on fire this morning.  Anyway, (this may be one of those "you had to be there" things) but we were on our way to the museum today and right after we had walked out of the door, we heard sirens again.  The truck was coming from a few blocks down, so I'm guessing they were already out on a call when they got this call.  They were blowing the horn a ridiculous amout, so I looked back and saw a firefighter in the midst of walking across the street from the fire department and he's just standing there waving at the oncoming fire truck.   He did get out of their way by time they got to him. It was amusing to me at the time but it doesn't sound as funny to me when I write it out, so I guess you did have to be there.  You can just ignore this whole paragraph.

Moving on, the fire truck happened to stop at the museum we were headed towards.  Turns out it was just a little old lady who was about to pass out or something.  The museum was really neat.  It's not huge, but there were some interesting exhibits.  Apparently Indiana and New Albany were involved in slave trading, so they had a big walk-through exhibit about that.

A few nights ago we went to Clarksville to eat dinner at Applebee's.  While we were there, we went in to Bed Bath and Beyond because I had a gift card that our wonderful church gave us.  We came across the clearance section and found a neat wedding wall hanging thing that was originally $40 but one of the frames was broken so they marked it down to $12.  Here's what it looks like: (and no we won't keep these pictures in it like we did at our old apartment)

The only thing that wasn't part of the set was the heart frame.  The broken frame in the box was actually an invitation frame, and we already had this heart frame with an invitation in it that we got as a wedding gift and hadn't found a place to put it here yet.  It doesn't match exactly, but I think it works out well.  I'm excited to get pictures in the frames.  :-)  Not too bad for $12, eh?

Also, tonight Caleb decided we were going to have tacos for dinner.  My mom gets us those Old El Paso taco kits sometimes that have the shells, taco seasoning and taco sauce.  As he was browning the meat, I opened up the taco box we had to get the seasoning out, and turns out that the box was only hard  and soft taco shells.  No taco sauce, no taco seasoning.  I called my mom and sister to see if they had any ideas of what else we could make with hamburger meat since we don't have a whole lot of food because we're still in the process of stocking up since the move.  They had some ideas, but nothing that we had everything for or were willing to wait for it to bake.  Caleb decided to stick with the taco idea and ended up adding a bunch of stuff...I'm not exactly sure what, but I know there was enchilada sauce, paprika, black pepper, and jalapeno juice.  It actually didnt turn out too bad!  It wasn't as seasoned as taco meat usually is but it certainly wasn't disgusting either.  We added "a big jar of taco seasoning" to our grocery list.  You live and learn, right?

After the taco eating, Caleb fried some biscuits and made cinnamon sugar doughnuts.  They were delicious!

On the job front, I got an email from the seminary the other day asking me to come in and take a clerical test.  I did pretty well on the test.  I would have done better if they gave you more than 2 chances per question on the Microsoft Word and Excel.  If you even accidently press a button that has nothing to do with what they are asking, it's counted wrong.  Oh well.   Prayers would be greatly appreciated regarding these jobs I applied for because working at the seminary would be an awesome opportunity.   If it doesn't happen, then I know that something even better is out there and I just have to be patient. 

I think that's enough rambling for one night.  :-)
