1 Blind Date...4 Years Later

Daniel and I went on our first date 4 years ago today. I don't think either of us ever thought that we would be where we are today, or at least that it would have taken us this long to get here. We are so grateful for the experiences that we have had and the Lord's timing in it all.

I am so grateful to have Daniel in my life. He is so good to me and I am so in love with him!!! I can't believe it has been 4 years but at the same time, I can't imagine my life with out him.

I love you Daniel! Happy 4 year anniversary!

Our Costa Rican Adventure

So it is official. Daniel and I will begin our Costa Rican Adventure (passports pending) on May 1st and we are so excited!! Here are some of the beaches that are near Puerto Veijo (where we are staying) which is on the Carribbean side of Costa Rica.

This is a volcano near San Jose that we are going to visit. There is also a waterfall park nearby.

This is the bungalow where we are going to stay.

This is the zip line we are going to go in the jungle.

Some of the local vegetation and wildlife.

This is what Daniel is most looking forward to. There is a huge wave called Salsa Brava that is world famous. Don't worry Mom, I won't let him surf in that area :)

Costa Rica here we come!!!

Organization

I would really love to be organized some day...to have a place for everything and know where everything is in my house. Upstairs, I am doing okay, but our basement is a disaster. We haven't ever put it back together since the flood. (please see following pictures)

Well, I am really sick of our messy basement, but it is a little overwhelming to know where to begin. But I decided that I needed to start somewhere. I decided to start with the food storage. Now, I know this is probably a little nerdy, but I decided to alphabatise it. It is now organized and I can easily see what we have and what we need more of. Hopefully this will help me in getting a better supply of food, as the prophets have counciled.

Next, I think I am going to organize the other half of that storage room, which has a pallette of wheat, probably from 1970 something, a couple of filing cabinets, and about 15 paint cans. Oh well, one thing at a time I guess.
