"I've found that when life's brush obscures my view with gloomy strokes that seem to mar the scene, God's hand appears and gives to sunless hue and dreary skies a more majestic sheen." Gustafson

DAY 137

I'm SO thankful for my sweet hubs, Dad & Dad-in-law! We had a fun day celebrating! Brit and I made Chris breakfast (muffins & an omelet with watermelon) and enjoyed watching Chris read his cards and open his gifts. We got him a few gift cards to his favorite spots and I surprised him with portraits of the kids (it's kind of a Father's Day tradition I started last year). The pics turned out amazing! Then, Chris humored us and we had some fun family time at the pool! Then he went for a scooter ride and when he came back, Brit and I had transformed the bonus room downstairs into a spa! We had candles lit, soft music playing, hot towels, a peppermint on his pillow, a drink and lots of lotions! We escorted him in and had him soak his feetsies in a foot massaging tub while we massaged his hands and arms. After his foot soak, we laid him back on comfy pillows and massaged his feet until he fell asleep. We left him down there for a long nap! This evening, we had a great dinner with Mimi & Papa at McAlister's (I got the best vegetarian greek feta "pizza"!). It was a glorious day!

Food wise, I enjoyed lots of fruits and veggies (edamame, watermelon, strawberries, apple, green peppers, black olives, red peppers) BUT I killed the cinnamon streusel muffins we made for breakfast. :[ We ordered a slice of key lime pie and a slice of banana pudding pie for Papa & Chris at dinner and I'm happy to say I only had ONE bite of each! I wanted the whole key lime but I stopped myself at one bite. Still doesn't make up for my crazy muffin obsession today. And I had every intention of getting in at least a 15 minute walk on the treadmill tonight BUT the dishes and laundry are screaming my name and I want to get in bed at a decent time.
Abundance is...watching the love of my life playing with the kids.
