Monday Morning!

Going on 7 solid days of rain and gloom...


My dad sent me a text that said:

"Be careful not to float away. I think Noah needs to build us an Ark."

This is funny and made me laugh.

Din-Din

I tried a new recipe the other night for dinner and the results were ever so tasty!

Menu:

• Halibut ( I normally don't cook fish, but it was so good)
• Mashed Cauliflower (consistency & taste of mashed potatoes) with fresh herbs.
• Sauteed mushrooms, red onions & grape tomatoes.

The duo actually consumed every ounce of the cauliflower thinking it was potatoes!

Being sneaky to get them to eat their veggies is so worth it!

Button's Buttons

I just saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and I am in love.
The movie was amazing.

The part where Cate Blanchet is dancing in a red dress in the moonlight is breathtaking.

Not to mention Brad. Sorry honey. {blush}
I did ask Brad to marry me when I was 13 after watching Legends of the Fall, after all.
I wrote him a letter professing my love and adolescent devotion:

Dear Brad,

I will be 18 on Nov. 10, 1998.
Please meet me here (insert location) on this day for our wedding!

Yours truly, Dena

The letter was returned undeliverable.
Go figure.

P.S.

Tetanus shots are the devil!!

How is it that the shot hurt worse then the gauge & the stitches??

Love

Tis' the season for love.

PHOTOS BY LE LOVE

Currently, the husband and I are doing a daily devotional together about...love...{sigh}.

Yesterday it was about loving your spouse unconditionally.

Sounds easy enough...

"love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

(This was my scripture for the day yesterday...so beautiful.)

So yesterday we had to do something for each other that proves we love each other... To demonstrate our joy in being their partner in marriage...

I sent him this message:

ME: Just so you know...I am yours to keep. I love you period.

HIM: Even if I buy a motorcycle.

(Let me explain this...my husband had a dream that he had a chopper the other night. A really cool chopper and he felt like he was the man so now he can't stop thinking of a owning a bike)

ME: Even if...

HIM: I love you period. Even without a motorcycle.

ME: You always have your dreams...

HIM: I make dreams reality.

ME: Apparently.

LOVE : ACTUALLY.

Stitched

In the midst of doing a heap of dishes last night...I was stabbed!

Stabbed by the corner of a glass plate that apparently had a broken corner
(silly me not to notice?).

Feeling light headed and faint-ish (as only large gashes would do to you), my husband & very concerned children whisked me away to urgent care.

"Mom, are you going to die?"

"Mom...you godts a boo-boo?"

They let me in right away.
My mother in law picked up the boys for dinner.
My husband by my side...taking photos of me and my wound to laugh at the look of concern on my face.

He has one heck of a sense of humor.

After an hour the ordeal was over and I was left with 4 stitches and a tetanus shot
(which my sweet husband told me was going to be injected into my butt...but wasn't thankfully!!)

Is it me or does this man really know how to comfort his wife??
What would I do without him!

Things I hope I never Forget...
