Beginning Experience/Valentine's Day/Mardi Gras

Hi everyone!

Sorry it has taken me so long to post again.  Last weekend (Feb. 10-12, 2012) was our Beginning Experience weekend.  It was a very successful weekend! 

Unfortunately I had to work Monday so I wasn't able to rest from the weekend.  When I got home from work I had a Valentine's Day card from by best friend!  Tuesday was Valentine's day so I was planning on cooking for a couple of single friends (Beth and Lisa) from Beginning Experience.   As I was getting ready to cook, I got a call from my friend/neighbor who asked if I was doing anything for dinner.  She and another friend (a different Lisa and Bette) were going to pick up something to eat and rent a movie.  I told her we already had movies to watch and I was cooking so to just come on over.  This reminds me of the scripture where Jesus feeds the multitudes because I only had 3 chicken breasts but we made it stretch and even were so full!  I have to say this was my best Valentine's Day ever (so far...LOL).

Thursday I met up with my friend Jennifer who was in from Seattle with her family and we went to the uptown parades.  Amanda picked up Cole and Hannah from school and met us.  I had a great time, as did the kids, but it was sooooo tiring!!!  I am not as young as I used to be. 

Saturday I went with Beth and Lisa to see The Vow.   It was an amazing movie.   I pray I am able to find a love like that in my lifetime. 

As for Mardi Gras, I am not planning on going to any parades.  I am going to stay home and do some gardening and maybe take the kids to the park for a picnic...low key.

Have a safe Mardi Gras everyone!!

Hugs!
