Happy Valentine's day. My day started out so wonderful. The baby got up around 8:30 full of smiles. I changed him and we played "so big" in which he laughed out loud.It was so cute. The kids one by one started to awake, getting ready for the day. That is when it all went down hill, the bickering started. Back and forth amongst each other about everything and nothing. I just could not take it. I kept thinking why today. Why today of all days. Can't you be nice to each other!!Anyway- it just kept getting worse. Paul was disrespectful. I had to sit Joey in a chair because of his mouth. I tried to take a relaxing bath which did not last long because of argueing.

But you know what my beloved came through he actually came home at a decent time and the first thing he said to me was, you have 20 minutes to get ready because we are leaving to go out to dinner. He took me to this Brazilian Restaraunt, so nice you had to have reservations. It was really neat. The way they serve is so different. It is a 3 course meal. You first start with your soup and bread in which the waitress brings you, then the salad which you go to the cold bar for and it is not your normal salad but different salads. There was even squid with the tenticles attached.(Sam tried it) Then there is this wooden peg looking thing on the table that has green on one side and red on the other when you are ready for your meat portion of your meal you flip it to the green side and the meat starts coming. Now this is where it is different, they bring the meat to you, but you only get a VERY SMALL portion, maybe a two bite portion, but before you can finish chewing your second bite here comes another guy with a different kind of meat, and that goes on till you get full. Oh and with the meat is this spicey red potatoe and french fried sweet potatoes that goes with the meat, which is also and endless supply. The restaraunt is a buzz constantly, with the meat men all around, then there is a dessert tray rolling every where, a woman with wine glasses on it, and through all this you here this man singing " MeatLoaf Man Meatloaf I am the Meatloaf man" with this almost Jamaican, Brazilian whatever accent. Other side you here "Sea Bass Sea Bass I am the Sea bass man" same kind of accent. And believe it nor with all of this my little Noah slept through almost the whole thing! The started wonderfully and ended wonderfully even though the in between was not so good.

How was your Valentine's day?

  1. My valentines was great. I actually ate fried chicken and Carl had a burger. After three straight weeks of Filipino food, we are "tired". Here; the goal is too find American food and anything close to tasting like it.

    We walked down the street where they had horse back riding. We just watched people get on the horses and ride off. We walked down the other street and there was a butterfly garden; it was closed.

    We went to the ice cream parlor and had a strawberry sundae. Fresh strawberries and very sweet ice cream, it taste like it already had whip cream, but it didn't.

    After that we went back to base for dinner clean up. WE rarely have anytime alone and people are always around 24/7.

    I need to go now.
    I love you!

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
