What a great relaxing day :-)

Today, almost all day, we just kicked it around at home, just my Honey, our kids, and myself. We tried to go to a great breakfast restaurant, then another, and then a regular restaurant with a decent breakfast menu, only to find that they all had waiting lists going out the door (and a light mist descending all the while). After a frustrating search for a breakfast place, my Honey had the brilliant idea that we should just get donuts, go home, and get cozy. It has been one of the most relaxing days we've had in a long time. Just enjoying each other's company, the plentiful leftovers and snack food, and a great video game we're all stoked about.

It's great to see my Honey relax, she works herself into exhaustion so much of the time. It's in her nature, she won't quit until the job is done right. When she takes a day off, like today, it's good for her to totally unwind. She and the kids spent pretty much all day making funny observations about the game, playing off of one another. It was just an enjoyable day all around.

Fiesta Night!

Now that our cable-TV provider finally has Fox on the line-up again (which I am sure was thanks to the Superbowl being on Fox), we get to watch American Idol as a family again! So tonight, it's a finger-food feast, with some of our darlin' daughter's delicious home-made salsa, chicken three yummy ways (just nuked by hard-workin' daugher as well) and some home-made tortilla strips by yours truly (which I've got to go make right now.)

More later,

I appreciate...

...my lovely Honey, her creativity, and all that she does for our family;
...our fantastic daughter and her limitless personality;
...our terrific son and his total genuineness;
...this great land we live in (currently blanketed in snow hereabouts) and the opportunities it allows;
...the gifts and talents God has blessed upon each of us.


My Honey had to work this weekend, and I know she is a bit taxed by it, but I know in my heart that the rewards will come. She's putting herself out there at bridal fairs for the community to see what her store can provide. The bridal fairs ought to bring a some business her way, and the exposure ought to bring more. I just hope that it won't be too wearing on her, so that she can enjoy herself a bit this weekend.
