Right now he's in his final for that class. Part of it was an art project, which he did a week ago. He decided to make a clay sculpture of King Tut, so we dropped by JoAnn's to get clay and paint. We came home, and he pulled the block of clay out. Without knowing what in the world he was doing, he just started playing with the clay.
A few hours later, I look to see how he's doing, and the block of clay has transformed into this:
Needless to say, he had a lot of fun. After it dried, he painted it:
He was originally going to paint the entire thing and not leave as much gold, but the bottom began to crack, and we didn't want it to crack before he had to take pictures and submit it. Needless to say, I think he's going to keep that 100% in the class.
In other news, Mikella's very pregnant and very busy. This week, she has finals, graduation, and they're moving. We're all crossing our fingers that she can get through it without having the baby. A few days ago, she had contractions so bad that they went to the hospital just in case. We'll miss them once they leave, and I wish I could see her baby a lot sooner in person than Christmas, but I'll survive.
And as for me, there's not much new. I'm working really hard at my job. Yesterday I had my most sales since I started: 7. It doesn't sound like a lot, but we usually get only two or three sales a day. Basically, what I do is I call out to people who were looking for houses, and ask them about their credit to make sure it's not going to hurt them from getting financed for the house they find. If credit is a problem, I actually transfer them to a credit repair company, and the agents at that company has to sign the customer up for the services. If the agent closes the sale, I get credit for it, too. So while I call out to about 50-100 people a day, I only talk to about 25 (because I get a lot of voicemails, no such persons, or person unvailables), and out of those people I talk to, some hang up, some don't need credit repair, some don't want credit repair, a lot don't have time to talk, and only a handful actually get transferred. But yesterday I got seven sales. I was pretty happy. :)
The highlight of my life, though, is cooking dinners. We got a lot of recipe books as wedding gifts, so I decided to cook my way through them. Right now, I'm cooking through "Our Best Bites" by two Mormon moms. Just the other day, I made Chicken Cordon Bleu for the first time, and I can't lie I nailed it. It's pretty exciting to make something new every day. Aunt June surprised me with some vegetables from her garden. Tomatoes, a cucumber, and a gigantic zucchini. I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to make stuffed zucchini or zucchini bread. All I know, is that even though I'm not the best cook, I have so much fun making dinners. (It's also a plus when Brett tells me to make something again because he really liked it.)
