  • Thou shalt not covet


    Good morning.  We had a wonderful date night last night.  Went out to Downriggers a restaurant sitting on the bay.  Watched the sun setting on Mount Baker and the Cascades and the boats going back and forth in the Harbor.  The waitress was wonderful, unintrusive, and just kept filling the water and coffee.   We enjoyed ourself so much and had ordered small enough meals that we also indulged in desert.  Peanut butter torte for me...and some  sort of sinful chocolate cake for Rob.  It was very relaxing.


    Then we went grocery shopping   Ok I know kinda way to ruin a romantic mood...but it sounded much much more relaxing then taking 4 kids with us today lol.  And there's nothing like the parade we make when we go.  2 kids running free.  2 kids squished in one cart, and another cart so loaded with groceries it starts to loose groceries all over the store as we progress towards the counter.  I only go shopping once every two weeks...so it makes for an adventure


    After the lovely grocery store we went on to Wal-mart.  Where I buy my diapers as their much cheaper there.  My energy was waning, so didn't wander around too much, but did buy a few extra die cuts for my scrapbooking   And new batterys for my camera.  (finally).


    After the grocery store we went and did the splurge and the thing I kept saying thou shalt not covert too.  We had called ahead to my parents and asked if we could use their hot tub.  Oh man was it nice.  It made us completely forget the intermittent grocery shopping~~except for the fact we had to bring all the stupid groceries in when we were done     I can't stay long in the hot tub because of being pregnant...had already discussed how long with the midwife etc.  But oh oh oh was it heavenly.  For 10 whole minutes all my aches and pains were GONE.  And I didn't feel like a walrus.     And that lovely feeling stayed with me for quite awhile afterwards too.     


    We have a lovely private spot all picked out on our property for a hot tub.  Right outside our french doors in our bedroom.    Oh I can't wait.   Because, then we can "really" enjoy ourselves.  Couldn't "truely" enjoy ourselves at my parents, cause your never sure which sibling is gonna pop around the corner for a visit hehehehe.  So we were very good  


    But the joy of sitting in the hot water watching the stars last night...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh   I'll hold onto that for a few days.  And we may have started a new end of the night date ritual too. 


    Father God, thank you so much for the relaxing evening last night it was wonderful.  And felt so rewarding.  I pray today that we would enjoy our kids and find fun things to do with them without over doing it.  I ask that Jamari would continue to well today, and that we would practice your love today.  In your sons name, Amen
