Mermaids, SeaDoos & Deep Fried Pickles

Happy First Anniversary Honey!

Yesterday we celebrated our very first anniversary. What an amazing day! In the morning I was able to give my testimony at church. Then God gave me an opportunity to allow myself to make some friends. God has been really showing me that I need to feel safe about letting people in and making some true friendships. So after church a young couple (Nicole & Doug) invited us to the beach with them The weather was beautiful and even though the water was chilly it was a great day!

We went on a SeaDoo. Claudia went also. She had a lot of fun until they went through a wave and she got soaked!! Today my legs feel like jelly and my ankles are bruised from holding on so tight. It was still a blast!

Then we relaxed on the beach and made sandcastles and turned Claudia into a beautiful mermaid. Nicole got her turn after. Then they pretended to be Ariel.

Then we went for DEEP FRIED PICKLES and fries under the bridge. Some magazine voted Sarnia's FRIES from under the Bluewater Twin Bridges one of the top 25 places to get tastiest French fries in the world. He was a very smart man because they certainly are so tasty!! YUMMM!!!!!!

After a long day at the beach (we didn't get home until 7:30pm) we all showered up and got in our cozies. After the kids were in bed Nicole and Doug came over to play a very intense game of Settlers of Catan! We didn't get to bed until after midnight and we were totally exhausted but it was so worth it. It was an amazing day where I was able to possibly establish a friendship (I know it sounds silly but that's really hard for me to do). Praise be to God!! He is Amazing!
