Anniversary celebrations

1 year!!! Our anniversary couldn't have come at a better time this summer.  Between the fireworks store, the kids going to state tournaments in ball, finishing my school classes at MCC, youth camp, selling the house and moving in with Richard's parents...we are exhausted!! So we decided to pamper ourselves. Friday night we went to the hibachi grill for steak and lobster. It was to die for!!

Then we thought 'why not get a hotel for the night?' Richard wanted one with a hot tub, but we had no swim suits so that wouldn't work, but to our surprise the only room they had available was the spa room with a jacuzzi tub in the middle of the room! So we took it!! I love how God takes care of even our smallest desires!

We enjoyed sleeping in and a hot breakfast the next morning. Then we were off for a couples' massage. 

Then, for our last stop, we went for pedicures. Richard had never had a pedicure before so since he always wants me to give him a foot rub, I thought he would enjoy a pedicure. So after an hour massage, we then sat in the massage chairs and had our feet rubbed for another 30 minutes! 

We returned back to the real world refreshed and rejuvenated!

One year ago I was privileged to become one with Richard! Every day is not easy, because the enemy will try to destroy anything that is sacred, but everyday is an opportunity to love sacrificially.  Our life is not perfect, but we are hoping to be a reflection of how good God's love and mercy is for his children.
