I had a happy and fun cinco de mayo! Kristina and I eat fish tacos at Rubio's so good! (see picture above) Later we made strawberry-lime margaritas--without a mix. Best way to do it (less sugar) they were way yummy! We enjoyed them and the rest of the evening with Dave and Kevin. After our margaritas we went hot tubbing and later played the card game threes. The hot tubbing was nice! I was way excited to wear my new swim suit and just relax. We had an awesome time laughing and talking. I am so grateful for awesome friends-- that let me be me, are sincere, and fun-loving people.
About a month ago Kristina and I went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. It was awesome! There were many varieties of colors and classes of tulips and with other flowers scattered throughout. It was not crowded and was a peaceful afternoon spent chatting, laughing, taking pictures, and enjoying the beauty of the gardens. The top picture is from The Secret Garden. It was so peaceful in there. I took a few minutes and sat down and just enjoyed the beauty and pondered a few things. I pulled out my little notebook and jotted down a few things. I had an overwhelming reassurance that God loves me, that He cares for me and is fully aware of everything in my life. I feel the realness of His love daily and am so grateful for my knowledge of Him and of His Son. I am so grateful for my relationship with Them, the comfort and strength because of the knowledge and love of Them brings each day. Masaya Ang Aking Puso :)
