Our anniversary morning we woke up at my oldest brother's home in Texas. We had the opportunity to stay downtown Dallas, but we so rarely get to visit either of my brother's we passed to stay with them and get in a quick visit. My sister in law M was so kind to prepare a special anniversary breakfast for us! The fresh strawberries were so sweet you'd of thought she put sugar on them! Yum!
After bumming around and visiting a while, M took me to the new Bethany Road open mall after the morning. We walked around and enjoyed looking at the high dollar stores and I loved trying on a dress or two. It was so exciting to be in the "regular" sizes, not plus anymore....I was so tickled at the level of "precious" these stores had...Swoozies, a precious store of personalizable things.....Charlies' THE mecca of purses, go withs, and necessary cuteness....then there was Black/White store, with its elegant pretty clothes.....a girl could simply get lost in the beauty of all that is there...and we didn't even go into so many of the stores....
Later, after hanging out with M and B for a while, we decided it was time to ramble. My dear husband knows how to treat a anniversary bride...he took me to get a special hair appointment...and Ms Tina did herself proud....nothing makes the world look better than fresh hair and a new do....and he bought me the products she suggested too, so I could redo it at home!
On the highway again we drove on to McKinney for dinner then on to Texarkana, Arkansas to spend the night. We had several friends offer for us to come to dinner, but truthfully, we simply need time to enjoy a quiet evening, so that is exactly what we are doing! We have so much to be thankful for and we wanted to spend some quiet time tonight simply being appreciative of all that God has blessed us with!
Tomorrow morning we will pick up a young friend for two weeks. Our younger children are still at their natural dad's for another 3 weeks, but we're borrowing a friend's son for two weeks while she competes at a national college competition, so we'll have fun seeing young H tomorrow and enjoying the ride home with him. Life hopefully will be slowing down next week as we have our very first B2G (Becoming God's Girl) summer Bible study meeting on Thursday and continue working on the work God has before us for His ministry to restore families one heart at a time!
God is good, I am blessed, and there has never been a happier bride on her seventh anniversary!
Thank you Dh for making it a truly wonderful day!
