Thankful that we have a healthy Hudbud again. From Sunday-Thursday he was in a lot of stomach pain. As in keel over and not move from fetal position pain. As of Saturday he was eating normal foods again and keeping it all down. What a week. {Yes he sleeps sitting straight up sometimes.}

Thankful for Billy Graham's life and legacy and the endless source of encouragement his sermons, quotes and crusade recordings are for Matt & I.

Thankful for this goof! Look at those teeth! Love seeing him grow up even if its miles away- these pic just crack us up. That little personality is a trip.

Thankful for Phil & for sharing sushi with him! 1st timer! 

Thankful for friends that share good thoughts.... a to - be -married in a month friend is reading this book, sharing amazing quotes with Matt... so although a marriage vet 😍 , we can ALWAYS learn and grow in love for each other and check out that catch phrase

 " What if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy". 

That. sold. it. 

Thankful for our Zoo pass! Cloudy days are perfect for getting some outdoor time with the pretty botanicals and lots of cool animals!

 Cheesecake Factory called our name for lunch and validated our parking, so a free to park beach afternoon was the best way to end that day! 

                      Thankful for Phil renting a vehicle big enough for all of us to ride together in, and for being that extra set of hands to capture our fam in a pic.

Thankful that there is much hype about the government taking the land from the Wa'ianae homeless community, so they wanted to share their homes with the community as a way to educate us as to how they live.... perfect timing... Phil was over the moon to walk a few steps in their shoes, as were we! They seriously have their own little village set up, and it's really eye opening. 

Then we came around the corner, and saw the crashing waves, and was like THIS... THIS is why they love living outside in tents.... the oceans beauty is their backyard! 

Thankful for our awesome community! These cute girl scouts sold 1500 boxes in 48 minutes! What a record!

Thankful for phrases in scripture that jump out... and thankful for a hubby that shares those... 

And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. Luke 4:20

Ready to have eyes of faith this week- staying fastened on Jesus.
