Thankful Thursday!

Boy, has this week flown by! Here we are at Thursday again. I went to Weight Watchers tonight and I gained 0.4. That's not bad for eating homemade ice cream from The Candy Kitchen last night. I'm hoping to have a weight loss next week. Stay posted for next week's loss.

Tomorrow, June 12, Mike and I are celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversary. It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since we said, "I do". Like any marriage we have our ups and downs, but the one thing that helps our marriage is our relationship with Christ. I'm so THANKFUL for a husband who has a personal relationship with his Savior. Several months ago, Mike asked me what I wanted for our anniversary (he was really thinking ahead): a cruise or a ring? Well, I quickly responded a ring. He was shocked at how quickly I answered and I began to explain that a cruise only lasts for 7 days and a ring will last much longer. Well. . . I got a new DIAMOND RING! I love it. Thank you for taking such good care of me and providing above and beyond my needs and desires. The ring is perfect and I think of Mike everytime I look at it! I love you. Happy 10th Anniversary!


Verse for the week:
I Peter 3:7 "Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your
wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with
you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers."

Surprise Outing!

My sweet hubby is earning lots of brownie (or should I say Ice Cream) points this week! Tonight after church he took the t-tops off the TransAm and said we were going cruisin'! How fun!!! We started to follow our friends and I thought something was up his sleeve and sure enough something was. . .We meet our friends, Wes, Dallace, and Madison, at The Candy Kitchen on the Beach! This was the first time I had ever been there. It was fun to see all the soda's and different candies from the past. They even had fried worms and crickets that you could eat! YUCK! I enjoyed some Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. (I will have to do some extra walking tomorrow before I go to Weight Watchers.) Mike slurped down a chocolate malt. We also picked up a few candies for our road trip on Friday.

That was a fun surprise and you can surprise me like that again sometime soon! I enjoyed hanging out with the Crew tonight. Looking forward to hanging out again soon!


P.S. You can see part of my new Vera Bradley bag that I bought today in the pictures. I had a gift card to Marion's in St. Pete and they just happen to be having a sale on retiring Vera bags! Because of the sale, I still have money left on my gift card to go back!

Brownie Points!

Does your husband earn brownie points??? It's a tradition in my parents house, so Mike and I have adopted the joke as well. The rule with brownie points is that the spouse can not earn more than a +1. However, last night Mike earned about +50 points. (Remember the max. is 1, so 50 is HIGH!!!) :-) I had a friend stop over with her 3 children to chat and hang out for a bit. Well, we just got busy talking that she was here until Mike got home from work! Mike then suggested that they stay for dinner and call her husband so that he could join us. To instead of fixing dinner for 2, he had to fix dinner for 7! So Mike and one of my friend's children took off to the store to buy a few more things for dinner. Mike then cooked dinner. He fixed BREAKFAST! He made fluffy scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, canadian bacon, and waffles! Not only did he go to the store, fix dinner, but the best thing was he cleaned up the kitchen! The dishwasher loaded and running!! We had a great time with our friends, I was so busy intertaining the 3 kids and chatting that I forgot to take a single picture! Oh well, maybe next time!

Enjoy your brownie points--I love you, Mike!!!
