Courageous

hello weekend! we had a few friends over tonight from church and watched Courageous. it was very good...definitely worth seeing. it's focus is steered towards fathers but mostly what it means to be a man of faith and courage in the role God created men for and their families. take some time to watch it with the men and boys in your life!

our friend, Preeti, brought over a yummy snack that her mom only makes once a year! it's called, Papbi, and it is light, crispy and absolutely yummy! it takes something like 5 hours spread out over a day or two to make so we feel VERY privileged to have been able to try it! THANKS PREETI'S MOM!!! :)

*main ingredients include: rice flour, cumin seed, salt, caraway seed

lazy day

this saturday we are having a spring working bee (cleaning day) at the church. i decided to make today my day off since the rest of the week/weekend is packed! after waking up around 6:45am to get torre's lunch prepared and to have breakfast with him before he left for work, i went back to bed for three whole hours!!! it's been a while since i did that! *yawn* (literally :) it must be time to go back to bed. :) i love sleeping...did i mention that? anyways...the rest of the day consisted of laundry, planting the lettuce plants from brian's garden that he dropped off for me on tuesday, i baked half a squash to use for dinner tomorrow night, baked chocolate chip cookies at my husband's request and ended up talking to my sister, jaimie, on skype for five hours while simultaneously watching "you've got mail"! it's our FAVORITE!!! tom hanks and meg ryan are my, our, favourite romanitic movie couple of all times! torre had a meeting tonight after work so i'm still waiting for him to get home. *sigh* i can't stand the fact that we spend most of our lives away from our spouses. does that make any sense??? you find the person you choose to spend the rest of your life with and then you spend most of your lifetime/work day away from them and around someone else's spouse. boo. :/ i miss him. :( THIS is why he keeps telling me to become a nurse! ahaha... i told him i just couldn't! i'm not good with that kind of stuff. :oJ so here i am...waiting...writing this blog because i haven't taken much time to write lately and i missed sharing the details of our lives with you all. :) praying you are all well and blessed by God's goodness and love! night :)
