Girls Night Out

Sunday night some with some girls from church we headed to downtown Greenville for a Girl's Dinner. Our original plan was to head to the Lazy Goat however we learned on Saturday they are closed Sundays. We decided instead we would go to Smoke on the Water and still had a great time. The girls in this group are some of the college and young professionals that have been participating in a bible study. We are currently reading Captivating by Stasi Eldredge and her husband John. Is a great book...one that all women should read.

First use of a Christmas present.

 While at Costco this weekend I finally remembered to get a pineapple so I could use one of the great gifts Aaron gave me for Christmas. If you have ever tried to cut a pineapple you will agree it is no easy take-but one that it is worth it for the juicy sweetness that resides inside. Well Aaron noticed this frustration and got me a pineapple corer as one of my presents. We finally put it to the test this weekend and it came through with flying colors. Jonathan even drank the juice from the fruit!

 

 

 

75 Years!!

Friday was my Grandmothers 75th birthday!! Saturday we were able to celebrate with her siblings and a few of her friends with a birthday lunch. My parent's catered Olive Garden Lasagna and Chick-fil-a Sweet Tea...it was all so yummy!

Here is the invitation I made for the event.

Luke's Party

After being postponed for a week we final made our trek up the mountain to Boone for Luke's 3rd birthday party. Melissa had his party at Chick-fil-a since that is Luke's favorite place in the world. It was fun to meet his little friends and watch them all play together. We also got to meet Luke's girlfriend Peyden-she is precious. Later I asked Luke while we liked Peyden so much and his response was she makes me HAPPY!!! So cute!

It was great spending the weekend with Melissa and David as well and I think Luke has a new best friend. Aaron played and played and played with Luke-he is going to be such a great dad one day. Sunday morning Luke even asked Melissa if he could get Aaron up so they could play.

Also in my craftiness for Luke's Party I designed invitations!

Wicked

Last Thursday (Feb. 10th) Aaron and I had a fun night out with the Wiggains. It was supposed to be a surprise for Sandy's birthday, we all tried very hard to keep a secret but she is just too smart. We started off with dinner at Smoke on the Water one of my Greenville favorites and then took the brisk walk up to the Peace Center for the show. It would not have been a night out with the Wiggains if Sandy did not injure herself in someway. She got her heel stuck while walking up Main Street, luckily Lance was holding on and kept her from falling.

They show was amazing!!! I had heard how fabulous it was and it was still even better than I imagined. It was a great night out! Aaron and I decided back in December that this would be our Anniversary/Valentines celebration.

Happy Birthday Luke!!

February 8th will be the munchkins 3rd birthday. For this glorious event I thought I would make him some special birthday treats!

If the weather holds out for the weekend there will be more birthday fun to share of his party at Chick-fil-a!

Miracles

This blog post really touched me and made me think about how we limit God everyday. Does God still perform miracles. I believe so and for Jonah I pray so. Check out Patrice's post today. Patrice and I grew up going to Carolina Bible Camp together and her mom and sweet little sister Shaina go to my parent's church in Greensboro.
