Happy Birthday to Rich and I

I love Julie and Kevin's little tradition of taking their parents to dinner for our Birthdays.  This time we were celebrating Rich and I.  I think our kids are pretty wonderful and very, very thoughtful for doing this twice a year.  I am very grateful for their generosity and kindness.  They say that it's because they are thankful for all that we do for them.  I really enjoy visiting with Rich and Lynette too.  I love the families that my kids have married into...they are all wonderful and we enjoy spending time with them.  I just feel so thankful for families and all the extensions of families.

(I think the photo bomber in the back is hilarious.  The waitress was smiling and so we knew he bombed us.  I asked him his name since but can't remember now...it made me laugh)

Breakfast~ 

Babies always make me smile.  I have always loved little ones.  I love how fresh and pure they are...so dependent and heavenly.

Lunch~

Happiness is not a mistake or coincident.  Happiness comes from within and is a choice we get to make every day throughout the day.

Dinner~

My Testimony of everything.  I've been challenged a time or two on my beliefs and my testimony but it's mine and no one can take it from me.  (I'm thankful for the challenges because they have made me realize that my testimony is mine and not borrowed anymore)

Midnight Snack~ (two for one)

 I'm thankful I don't have cancer and I hope and pray that I never do.

That we are all going to make them....that's part of this life and we shouldn't judge anyone for the mistakes that they make.

Recipe of the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life what is it just for the week?) 

There are things in this life worth waiting for.  We often want to rush them or hurry them along but the wait will be worth it.
