Above you will see pictures from our amazing Easter beach day :) Wes and I had an amazing weekend with our two wonderful puppies celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are so blessed to have our wonderful little family. After church, we decided to take the dogs to the beach so that we could see them swim for the first time. After a lot of pulling and tugging towards the water the two dogs finally began to doggy paddle :) Jade LOVED it and Emma DID NOT!
We shared a lot of laughter and found 10 more shark teeth to add to our collection :)
As I reflect on this past week I have so many things that I am thankful for so here they are!!!
1. I am thankful for a wonderful husband that loves and encourages me every day. Wes truly knows how to make me smile by doing silly things such as writing Happy Easter on the back of book marks so that we can remember our first Easter together as The Houston's :) I love him
2. I am thankful for GROUPONS, date night, and sushi :) Back story: Wes purchased a groupon for a small sushi place in Riverside (a cozy little side of town that we like to go to). We used the groupon for a lunch date one Saturday and we learned something new about the restaurant. Turns out that they have ALL YOU CAN EAT sushi tasting every Saturday for $15 a person. WOO! We were so excited however, we are trying to stick close to our budget each month and since we had already maxed out our eating out category for March, we had to wait for April. Well......April came and we went!!! Wes got off early from his EMT ride along this past Saturday and we went had one of the best sushi date nights ever. I am truly thankful for this night because Wes had been working so much that we had not had much time together. At dinner we were able to enjoy an amazing conversation about how much the Lord has gone before us in the move and how we see him fulfilling his promises through providing us with a house and jobs. Not to mention that we ate almost $100 of sushi for just $30 :) We were stuffed :)
3. I am thankful for our wonderful friends Tim and Leala who are mentoring us as we go through our first year of marriage and the amazing study of The Christian Called to Obedience. The Lord has truly worked in us through this study each week. The Holy Spirit has convicted our hearts and has drawn us to repentance. We are thankful for the sanctification from the Lord and for our friends who are both truly a man and woman of God that have continually encouraged us with the Gospel and have pointed us to the cross.
4. I am thankful for my little shih tzu Emma. We rescued Emma from a family in Lousiana last December. Emma had been neglected for almost a year before we adopted her. Emma and our hound dog Jade became best friends and we enjoy watching them wrestle/play together on a daily basis. One of my favorite things about Emma is that she is a little cuddle bug! Wherever I am in the house, Emma is right behind me. Oh I love her so!
