Tonight I mentioned wanting to get breakfast for dinner and to my surprise, Bret said yea! We decided to go to Bob Evans. The parking lot was almost empty when we got there! When we went in, we noticed there weren’t too many people, so we asked when they closed….it was about 8:20/8:30….9:00 p.m…..they close at 9! I was so surprised. But they welcomed us in and I’m so glad they did! We had amazing biscuits and sausage gravy and I had some of the best french toast I’ve ever had. nom nom nom.

We even had some left over biscuits and gravy!

Day 1035 – A Beautiful Example of Love in a Marriage

I don’t have a picture to share today, just a video. I have watched it twice so far and the tears just stream as I watch. It is a very moving example of how a couple can love each other with God as the center and their strength.

I’m thinking about creating a board of thankfulness for our place…

Day 1033 – How to Celebrate a Birthday When You Don’t Have a Lot of Money

You know we celebrated Bret’s birthday last night with food and movies. I tried to think what I could do for cheap (i.e. free) for his actual birthday.

This is what I came up with!

I’ve gotten a ton of candles over the years. These are from a birthday party for Jimmy Frederick (one of our previous groom’s) and a bridal show for my friend Cara (who celebrates her one year anniversary on Monday!).

I called Bret into the room and got a great pictures of his reaction!

I love how he pulls the candles together before he tries to blow them out.

Day 1032 – Happy Birthday Early to my Hubby

Tonight, I wanted to give my hubby a date for his birthday. At first I wanted to try and see a movie, but apparently matinee prices start before 2….did you know that? So, not being one to spend 10 bucks on a movie, I found two rentals at red box (The Vow and the new Underworld movie) and picked up a burger and pit ham and a ton of fries from the Charcoal Deli. It was sooooo good. Sooooo unhealthy, but sooooo good. I love their logo…..but since you probably don’t want to see cow butt, I adjusted accordingly. 🙂
