Let's see--weekend recap. Saturday we spent all day in Brian's hometown for his dad's birthday. We had such a nice time. We spent the first part of the day with his mom, ate some super yummy homemade vegetable soup (that we ate again tonight....I just can't seem to get enough soup right now), and then spent the evening with his dad. "E" fixed a terrific birthday dinner and his sister fixed an artichoke dip that was out of sight. Good company, good food,...an all around great day.
Sunday, we just took it easy...grocery, whole sale shopping, cooking, mowing grass. Brian treated me to my all time favorite soup (did I mention I am on a soup kick).....Don Pablos White Chicken Chili. He completely out did himself. It tasted just like the real thing. Eating it brought back so many memories (isn't it funny how food or smells can do that). We use to go to Don Pablos all the time when we were first married. Poor Brian, I made him go there every chance I could get. So, for him to recreate one of my favorites, was so sweet and thoughtful. I have eaten a bowl every day since Sunday and probably won't stop until it's gone (minus a bowl we are saving for Ney). It is soooo, soooo good. 
Yesterday, I took the kids to the mall to order Brian some work pants and cruise the sale rack at Macy's. It was a lot of fun to get out with the kids and even more fun when I saw Brian (unexpectedly) walking towards us. I snearly squealed out loud. I think Will and Abby were just as excited as I was. What a nice surprise. He even watched the kids while I picked out a pair of jeans. I still smile (even as I am typing this) just thinking about him walking towards us.
Off to bed I go. After volunteering at church this morning in the infant room, I am beat. God love those women that do it every week. 
Here is my prayer that I am praying right now continually through out the day. Perhaps you could pray for me too. "Lord, may others see You in me rather than me in me. " It is a daily struggle.
