BBA revisited September 10, 2010

Okay so here are some breads I never blogged about…

First up – French bread – yes….you heard me. I baked LEGIT French bread – hearth oven process and all

Here are some pics

So all in all I enjoyed baking this bread – it was very similar to french breads you can buy at grocery stores – yeast tasting and hearthy

I felt like a professional baking french bread and not buying it at a store – I was very pleased with the recipe and outcome!!

Let’s not forget the hearth baking process (which I have explained before) Steaming the oven with a spritzer and heating a pan up with boiling water before the bread is put into the oven – I always feel like I am going to burn my arm off b/c that oven is at 500 degrees haha – but so far I haven’t!

God’s Provision September 10, 2010

Thank the Lord that my mom is coming today – I think I would be a little upset if she wasn’t. My mom’s visit really comes at the perfect time – my roommate went out of town last minute and I am being swallowed up by the amount of stuff that still needs to be cleaned and put away. I think that the Lord really and truly knew that I would need this visit and when I would exactly need it. Amazing?? yes.

The Lord’s provision is just like that – His plan is always perfect. I think I need to keep reminding myself of that fact. God has also provided a contact at a local church – hoping that meeting up with a friend who goes to this church will provide opportunities for friendships

On the city life – haha – turns out living on a main street is VERY loud. ambulances. people fixing my roof and making my apt smell like asphalt. car horns. etc. I think I can get used to it though…Also, note to self. While running – avoid the ghetto. If running through the ghetto, one should pick up the pace a little. I learned that today…haha. From now on I think I will choose a different route or drive to a nearby park and run

Anddd currently I am becoming re-addicted (if that’s a word) to Gilmore Girls. Already on the second cd of season 6 and I CANT STOP WATCHING IT.

Officially in Savannah.. September 9, 2010

Okay so I am officially here for those who do not know.

It was harder than I thought it would be to leave Charleston – my dad gets me every time lol. He gets very sentimental and it makes me cry. every. single. time. It probably did not help that I had 3 fillings earlier in the day which took 2 hrs to do at the dentist’s office.

Not to mention that my mouth is STILL sore. 6-7 shots in my mouth and lots of drilling – needless to say my mouth is not feeling normal yet.

Although all of these things are going on – I am trying to be positive about it. I spent some time with my roommate last night and it was so fun! However, it is discouraging that I have no friends here except for her ( i know…i’ve only been here for a few days, but it is hard when the only thing to do is unpack, etc.)

So thankful that my mom is coming tomorrow. Also, I am sitting in a Starbucks and saw a Bible study group meeting outside – very encouraging

I am trying to hold on to God’s truths and trust that He has placed me here for a reason (besides the awesomeness of SCAD lol)

Please pray for me to have an optimistic attitude during this time of waiting for classes to start and connections to be made (with people and at a church)

I am not allowing myself to be depressed or sad b/c I am not with my friends and family or in a place that I am familiar with – I am thankful for this opportunity that God has given me and am excited for new things and new friendships!
