Date Night...Finally!!!

I had to go into Chicago for a doctor's appointment so Garran decided to make a date night out of it.
I love the city at night. 
Here we are on Michigan Ave, with all the city lights. 
 Garran had wanted to take me to China town for a long time now. He had some dumplings when he was there for an art conference and has wanted to take me.
 the sign says China Town, but it is blurry.
 we found this great little place and it had fun atmosphere. Plus i had a handsome fella to look at too. 
 Everything on the menu looked really yummy except for the last thing....
hmmm.....Lard with rice.
Needless to say, we did not give it a try.
Garran and the long awaited dumplings. 
I have to admit, they were delicious. 
You can really tell the difference between authentic Chinese food and well, the other stuff. 
It was a much needed and much loved date night. 
We don't get them or take them as often as either of us would like. 
Life just gets busy and we enjoy the time we do get together.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
