Sister Date Night

September marked the month that we began our "Sister Date Night"  It's been SO fun and exciting to have uninterrupted conversations; although, our conversations seem bi-polar, but what do you expect with 5 girls chatting away!  We laugh at how we get excited, fancied up, and feel like we are going to a club, ALL to just eat and chat, and raise our loud voices... And are the last ones to leave!  Too much fun.  I thank God for these group of ladies that I am privileged to call my sisters.

Looking forward to years of these!

Let Man Not Separate...

November 12th marked the day that my friend became one with her God given gift.  It was a beautiful day, a beautiful wedding and she was a beautiful bride!  The Lord was kind in giving Jed to Crystal and Crystal to Jed.  Here is their wedding story...

 A treasured moment to witness.  PJ and I love attending weddings because it reminds us of all the preparation put into a unknown life together and the reality of marriage.  Marriage is SUCH a blessing WITH loads of sanctification :)

Congrats Jed & Crystal !!!

Tea Anyone?

I was waiting for the rainy, cold days to come, so I can warm up with some of my favorite tea and relax.  When all kids are napping, it's like the perfect storm :)

(Trader Joe's Pomegranate tea is very good!)

Rain, Rain Come Everyday!

What a sweet surprise to wake up to harmonious rain drops...

 The smell of rain all around.

 Homemade waffles for my sick family to cheer them up.

and Puddles all around.
