Around the House

So our lovable pup, Hurley, had to go back to the rescue center. :-( So sad. But really, it was the best thing for us. It only took a matter of days before M & I discovered that the pup took up what little bit of free time we had for one another. Thankfully the rescue center is fantastic, so aside from missing him horribly, I know he's in good hands and will soon find a family that will provide him lots of land to run and play in. Here's a couple of pictures we took while we had him. He was quite a cuddler. :-)






So now that we have our time back, M & I are attempting to entertain ourselves by other means. Last night I think was the best of all. On our way out the door to go play basketball, we halted at the sight of our tiny grill in the middle of the driveway. Filled with coals from grilling out our salmon, it was just at the perfect stage for roasting marshmellows. Back into the house we went to get the sweet goodies and our kabob sticks. Needless to say, the basketball game was delayed. :-)





Ah, I love the warm, Virginia weather. :-) Did I mention that my husband took me on a sunset river dinner cruise for my birthday last weekend? That, too, was fantastic. We took a long walk through DC and got some great "spring-y" pictures, then off to the river!










May is such a great month. :-)

Just a little reminder

“The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing, but in God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit divine characteristics in your life, not just good human characteristics. God’s life in us expresses itself as God’s life, not as human life trying to be godly. The secret of a Christian’s life is that the supernatural becomes natural in him as a result of the grace of God, and the experience of this becomes evident in the practical, everyday details of life, not in times of intimate fellowship with God. And when we come in contact with things that create confusion and a flurry of activity, we find to our own amazement that we have the power to stay wonderfully poised even in the center of it all.”
