"Oh my godness"

Some of my students always say, "Oh my God," in class, so I've been telling them to say goodness instead. It's so cute because I'll assign homework and hear, "Oh my God."
To which I reply, "Oh my what?"
"Oh my godness."
"Goodness."
"Gooooodness."

On another note, I figured I should update you all on the lives of the Barnums. We are doing well, still adjusting to marriage and a new culture, but our God is faithful. We've been wanting to travel and see more of the country, but we have to wait until we get paid. I'm sorry I have no new, exciting adventures to post for you. Someday soon, I promise.

I thought I was getting better at doing the laundry, so today I decided to punch a few more random buttons and see what happened. There are so many different time options on this machine that range from 6 minutes to 2 hours. The first load we did took an hour, so last week I decided to only wash the clothes for the 34 minute cycle. To my luck, the clothes didn't come out as stiff or crunchy. So today, I thought it would be good to go down to an even smaller time. Well, I just went to check and see if it was done. Evidently, I put it on soak. Oh well, someday, I will get the hang of this.
