doctors & dates

I had to go into the city for a doctors appointment this afternoon. 
Garran came with me so that we could have a date as well. Don't you just love the gowns!
Lovely!
 After we were done with the doctor, we walked around downtown for a little while and went in some stores and just enjoyed seeing all the different things you get to see while your in the city. 
 They had a series of gardens with the dragons that looked like they were diving from one  to the next...very cute. 
 A statue on her way home. 
 Lake Michigan at sunset. 
 and last but not least...
Barbie greeting all the traffic that this little work van meets. 
We went to dinner at this wonderful little restaurant called, Spacca Napoli. 
It was a beautiful night, so we sat outside. 
The food was delicious!!
 and my date was pretty cute. 
 I was happy...I love date nights!!
after dinner we walked around again for a little while and then found this place. 
I took a picture for my step dad... His name is George. 
 They had the most delicious ice cream. 
They were rated one of the top places in Chicago to go for dessert. 
 My dessert was DELICIOUS!! 
However it was very rich. 
I could not even finish it. 
We also decided to bring some treats home for the kids. 

We thought these animal cookies would be a hit...and they were!!
Such a fun day with the hubby!
I hope we get to do it again soon!

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
