Weekend Adventures

There is something about experiencing life with those you love in the Joy of the Lord that makes life a adventure! This weekend we did more then then "norm" but it was such a sweet and exciting adventure! I thank the Lord for the oppertunity to live and experiance the richness of a life in Him!

~~~

Have I mentioned that Tu is on a 3 week break in his dr. program and

we are ecstatic! It has been such a blessing to have extra time together and he has been able to relax and enjoy life a little more without the pressure of weekly papers (sometimes 20 pagers) and discussions. Needless to say it has been WONDERFUL to have a break! So I will take this time to brag about my man...the man God has given me.

This man is amazing! Seriously he works so hard to provide for us and still comes home and makes intentional efforts to invest in me, our children, and our family. He is a true blessing!

So this weekend we enjoyed our time with a few things...

~~~

We made Mickey Mouse Pancakes... The kids were so excited about it and we all had fun eating them. Yummy!

We loved on each other! The kids LOVE to hold Jaylin whenever they can!

Enjoyed some of the personality in our family!

Then on Saturday Tu took the kids to the school and let them run some energy off in the gym while Jaylin and I stayed home and got ready for the night.

Tu blessed me with a night out. He took me to a Mediterranean restaurant in the near by down town area, and then we went to see the musical 42 street put on by the school. It was a really fun and enjoyable night. We love trying new things and experiencing new adventures so this was a fun way to do that. It is such a blessing to get time out together. I love going out with my man, and I love spending quality time together... it's truly refreshing!

We have had Mediterranean food before, but this was a first time trying some new dishes.

Our complementary appetizer....

this appetizer was called Rihan... tomatoes, grilled egg plant, basil sauce, and feta cheese

It was very yummy!

Here is what Tu ordered... it's called Mansaf....a yogurt type sauce with lamb and rice.

And I tried a Vegetarian dish called M'shakaleh with grilled mushrooms, cauliflower, egg plant, and yogurt-tomatoes sauce.

It was a great adventure and a sweet treat to be out with my man for the evening!

To continue this sweet weekend I got to take my sweet son on a date with Mommy! It was such a sweet time with just the two of us! He was soooooooo excited! (More to come on this later this week, but here is a sneak peek...:)

Overall it was a really nice weekend! We feel very blessed to have had time together! I am praising Jesus for my amazing Husband and children. I love them all so much! Thank you Lord!

May you enjoy the gift of family the Lord has given you today!

Love in Jesus,
