About this Blog

I oftentimes find myself feeling as if I am drowning in a sea of brokenness. Financial strains, familial tensions, and the like, oftentimes distract me from who I am in Christ, and furthermore, what I am called to do as His servant. Scripture repeatedly teaches that a part of my calling is to offer up my body as a living sacrifice, and this includes giving thanks for the blessings in my life to the loving God who bestows them. My life needs to be one of joy, one that actively pursues beauty and appreciates all things, even those that are commonly overlooked.
With this blog, I hope to take myself and anyone who reads it on a journey in which each and every day I find something to do, or see, or make that is beautiful and can be deeply appreciated. Then, I will give the beauty I find as an offering of praise and thanks to the Lord by writing about it here on this blog. Check back each day for a new post! I hope that what you read here will inspire you to appreciate life more and actively pursue the beauty that surrounds you, even in the midst of brokenness.

Spontaneous Fun

Today my mom and I went shopping for birthday presents for my dad and sister. Since my dad reads this blog, I will not reveal what was purchased. mwahaha. :)

Anyways, as my mom and I were starting to head home, my mom said, "I just wish you and I could go out to dinner or something". Then I said, "Well, why don't we?"

So we did! It was spontaneous and fun! It was spontaneous fun!

We drove down to Edmonds, an adorable little town right by the Puget Sound. We parked and walked around and happened upon a quaint little restaurant called Chanterelle. We decided, yes, this is where we should sit and eat delicious food.

We walked in and were seated at a cute little table right by the window.


Our appetizer was a Pear, Brie, Spinach, and Garlic Quesadilla. Yeah, it was DELISH.


Then, we got warm bread and our little bowls of potato soup.


And, then, oh my goodness, the best part of the meal was Pork Loin Saute with luscious Madeira wine sauce with apricots and cranberries. Yes, it was more delicious than it sounds and looks.


All in all, it was so magnificently wonderful. Thank you, Lord, for spontaneous fun with my mom. And delicious food. :)
