Sunbeam

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,
To shine for him each day;
In every way try to please him,
At home, at school, at play.

A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
I'll be a sunbeam for him.

We're trying to be as enthusiastically willing to serve in
our new calling.

Recent Happenings

This summer has been awesome so far. School's out, it's sunny and warm, and we've spent plenty of time enjoying it all!

On the 4th of July, we went to my brother's house to light fireworks. I was feeling relatively festive and patriotic, so I decided to make a little something to contribute!

Needless to say, it was delicious!


Also, as already posted, we planted a garden mid-May and are seeing some of the fruits of our labors. Here is our first chili pepper. We haven't tasted it yet...I'm a little afraid of how hot it might be, but it's still exciting!

Here we have our first sign of broccoli. Yum! We weren't sure how broccoli was grown because for awhile it looked nothing like it, so we are glad to see that we did something right!

Our first tomatoes! We had to search to find them, but we have several. I think Derek counted about 7 so far!

Carrots! It took awhile for them to sprout, but they've really grown in a short amount of time.

This is one of our 5 potato plants! They are humungous! We were told that we should pile up dirt on top of them when they aren't that tall so we could get more potatoes, but we figured that since there's only two of us and we have 5 plants, that we wouldn't worry about it. Now I'm wondering if they will overtake all of the gardens around ours...

So that's just a "taste" of our life this summer. ("taste..." I'm so clever!)

Happy Anniversary!!!

It's been 3 years! I can hardly believe it.

We had a really fun time last night. We got all dressed up and went to Tucanos. I know, not the most dressy place we've ever been, but we wanted the food!

We exchanged gifts. Derek got me a gift card to a spa...I'm totally getting a 1 hour massage! Heaven! I got him Planet Earth on BluRay. He's been wanting that for probably as long as we've been married but I'd way rather have a massage!
Here's to another year!
