First Day of School

The first day of school has come and gone. We started the semester off with Spiritual and Ministry Formation, which is the class I am most excited about. Jacob is excited about all his classes, but I am especially excited about this particular class because it is oriented toward the couple. The professor and his wife meet with each couple/student at their house once during the semester to help them determine where God is calling them in their ministry lives. Since Sunday (the day before classes started) was spent celebrating Jacob's birthday, I didn't have time to surprise him before he left for work/class on Monday so decided to surprise him after class on Monday night. Here are a few pictures of his surprises.

Don't worry if your not an artist... I certainly am not one

Included: favorite candy, pencils, yo-yo, sanitizer and some chips.

  I raided Target's dollar bin for some items and found some good sales on the other items to make this for Jacob. I have been reading stories from wives about doing something special for their children on their first day of school and decided that I was going to do something special for Jacob on his first day of fall classes. I love doing surprises like this but have a feeling when Alethea arrives the little gifts and notes will be few and far between. Hopefully some of you can use this as inspiration to surprise your husband.
