Tad and I are leaving today for Family Life’s Weekend to Remember marriage conference. No, we’re not already having problems in our marriage… on the contrary! We are enjoying being married SO much! We are excited about the opportunity we will have this weekend to strengthen our marriage and set a good foundation for the MANY years ahead of us.
Have a great weekend!
I’m not very good at posting my menus on Monday, am I?
This week my excuse is a horrible sore throat. I think I reached the peak of my misery (ha) today, so I am hoping things get better later this week! Tad has also been dealing with a cold, so we’ve both been pretty mopey and have been “lying low” this week. Last night we played Othello and went to bed early.
Oh, and here is a picture of what we dressed up as for Hallowhim! I was a pirate and he was an alien.
My menus start with Tuesday because I didn’t cook at all yesterday due to being sick. Tad bought wonton soup for me last night! My menus end at lunch on Friday because we are leaving after lunch this Friday to go to a Weekend to Remember marriage conference in Virginia! We are very excited about it and are praying we will be feeling better in time!

As I mentioned before, Tad and I made flags (for flag football) on Wednesday afternoon. We decided we’re going to play flag football next week with the youth.
Here are a few pictures of us practicing.
I tried a couple of new recipes this week. Here is a double-cheese spinach chicken pizza I made.
And here is a Caesar salad with homemade croutons.
Friday afternoon we had Kimberly (a girl in the youth group) over for lunch. We had a nice time!
Last night we went to the high school football game. It was senior night, so they recognized all of the senior athletes. It was a good game and we had a lot of fun being there!
Tonight is Hallowhim at the church. It is a trick-or-treat alternative for the families of the church. Everyone dresses up and plays games (and everyone goes home with lots of candy!). Tad and I helped set up for it yesterday and will be there most of the evening.
Off to make some lunch!
