Happy Val Day!

This weekend was Valentine’s weekend, for all you lovers out there. Ryan and I had a romance-filled weekend. Friday night we went out to sushi with a bunch of friends and had fun watching the snow.
Saturday, we went to the wildlife expo with Craig, Becca and Craig’s dog Henry. Scout and Henry had a fun time playing together out in the park.

Ryan dressed in his camo ready for some wildlife action w/ Scout Beccs and Craig trying to make Craig’s dog, Henry, behave!!!!
Scout & Henry trying to get to know each other. Scout was a little fearful at first, but dominated Henry by the end of the day!



Saturday night was the Valentine’s dinner with our Sunday school class. Our wonderful Sunday school teachers served us out at the Caldwell’s beautiful home in Awendaw, River Oaks. They did not have any electricity because of the snow storm but it just made it more romantic. We had valet parking service when we drove up. Then, we were greeted and given pumpkin soup appetizers and Pelligrino sparkling water....what service!!!!

This is a picture of their beautiful living room with the fine china and arrangements…isn’t it beautiful!
This is the group at our table….Ryan and I , Matt and Alyssa, Emma and Steven. We had so much fun hanging out together….telling our love stories to each other!
Ryan and I during appetizer time!
Beautiful table arrangement!
2nd course….a wonderful mixed greens, goat cheese, and mandarin orange salad

3rd course…an awesome steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus, then the best course of the night in my opinion:

Chocolate decadence….to die for dessert!

Ryan and I during dinner. I found a rose to use for a prop....just for your viewing pleasure :)

This one is for you, Alyssa…..Matt was really ready for the meal to be over, if you know what I mean….

Emma and Steven…I tried to get a candid shot, but every time Steven would just flash this huge grin!

What would a night be without a crazy face pic from the Reeses??!!!!

Girls with our roses as souvenirs to take home….so beautiful!
Scout had a Valentine’s present as well….he got groomed at the new Petco beside our house. He smelled like heaven and looked so cute with the bandana they put on him, so I just had to share a pic of the cute little pup…..
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...
