Nothin' All That Special

This week was a pretty quiet one for Jake and I. Jake spent his days at work as usual, and I stayed at home working on craft projects (like lots of embroidery), watching TV, writing letters to my missionary friends, and other stuff like that.

The weather here in Rexburg over the summer is still SO weird to me: we've had a lot of random thunderstorms and rainshowers over the past few weeks, and this past week was no different.

On Friday Jake and I went on a "real" date for the first time in a while! We went to dinner and then did a little shopping before going to see the movie Paper Towns at the discount theater here in Rexburg. We'd read the book together a few months ago (by John Green) and had mixed feelings about it, but we'd heard good things about the movie so decided to go. This was one of those rare occasions where we both loved the movie more than the book!

Sundays are always my favorite day of the week, because Jake and I get to spend the entire day together. We went to church and spent time together at home watching some movies, playing card games, and cuddling of course!

This Week's Spiritual Thought

I finally finished reading Psalms! The last chapter, Psalms 150, was a really beautiful way to end the book:

"Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
"Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to is excellent greatness.
"Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
"Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
"Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
"Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
