Bible Study

I love the freedom that home education gives us. To be able to study God's word with the boys is such a blessing. I really enjoy watching them dig deep into their bibles. It allows them to see themselves the way that God sees them. This allows them to know God for themselves.

It's Freezing in The "D"

Talk about being cold in the "D" is an understatement. We are freezing our butts off with this below 0 weather and crazy negative double digit windchill. 

It's so cold in my house that we had to homeschool in my bedroom because our main floor is so drafty. If you are experiencing weather like this you are not alone.

Our 19th Wedding Anniversary

 

Today we are celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. I can't believe how fast the years has flew by in our marriage. Seems just like yesterday we were driving to Toledo, Ohio to get married at the county court house. Yes! I said county court house.... Our wedding had been planned, my dressed picked out and everything then we got into a disagreement and cancelled the wedding. It was not a fairytale wedding ceremony we just eloped. The only thing I miss is not having a wedding picture. My father did throw us a wedding reception which was really nice and we went on our honeymoon to Canada. Since then God has blessed our union and has been the head of our lives every since.

 

 

We decided to try out a newly opened "Cheesecake Factory" for the first time. When we arrived it was an hour wait so we walked the mall and did some window shopping. Stopping into the jewelry store where we brought our wedding rings years ago. While there the clerk asked to clean and reshape my rings which I agreed to. Well after I got my rings back I noticed one of my stones was missing. So now I have to wait a week to get it back. Bummer.. I guess all the dirt was holding it in.

 

 

The restaurant was really nice and crowded. They first sat us at a table in between people which I did not like. I requested to be moved to a booth because it was more private and intimate. I mean come on it's our anniversary. The food was a nice portion and delicious. My husband had Spicy Chicken Chipotle Pasta. I had Pasta Da Vinci. For desert we shared a slice of Pineapple Upside-Down Cheesecake.

To sum it up I really had a great day and some awesome years with my husband. I'm looking forward to our next anniversary which will be our 20th.

 

Taste Test Tuesday: Lafayette vs American

Today we decided to venture downtown to try a couple of restaurants that have been Motown favorites for years. I have lived in Michigan all my life and never visited either of these two establishments. Both have been featured on the Travel Channel series called "Food Wars" and "Man vs Food Nation: Detroit."

The prices were similar at both locations. The biggest difference is the menu items offered.

After trying each restaurant it was time for each of us to cast our vote. Three of us chose Lafayette Coney Island and two chose American Coney Island. I personally liked Lafayette chili sauce better.
