CELEBRATING 365 DAYS :)

Today Joe and I celebrated 365 days together. When Joe and I first started dating I couldn't get him to eat pasta. He said that its tasteless...every time I tried to get him to eat at a pasta place he wouldn't do it. On my birthday I said that we are going to eat at Olive Garden and I promised that he would love it. I know that he was just dreading it, but once we got there and he tried the food HE TOTALLY LOVED IT :) SO Today we went to Olive Garden and we always get the same thing, but today I was like I will try something else. I ordered the Tuscan garlic chicken and Joe ordered his shrimp and chicken carbonara. I took one bit of my food and it was gross! I have the sweetest husband ever though, he took my plate and ate my food even though I could tell he wasn't liking it at all.

After we got done eating Olive Garden, we decided to go to the zoo. It was fun cuz Joe has never been to a zoo before. He is so cute, since he is from Africa he grew up with alot of the animals we where looking at. Joe went to Cape Coast University in Ghana. He said that right on campus are alot of monkeys in the trees. He was telling me how its really sad cuz of the way things are in Africa a lot of the animals are being run out of their homes and they are dying off. He said that alot of the local people eat everything...so basically any animal they catch they eat.

Dj was the same way with pasta and I could never get him to eat it till one time at the Olive Garden and now he is hooked! He loves Olive Garden. Thats crazy about all the animals just freely walking around where Joe was raised. But I guess thats how it is in Africa.

This is to have succeeded!" -Emerson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. Sidney J. Harris ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You cant help everyone, everywhere.... But you can help someone somewhere." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life is too short for drama & petty things, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We should pray… In the quiet hours, in the heat of battle, and through the hazards of the day: in times of temptation, of sorrow, of peace and of blessing. Let us pray always, both alone, and with our families gathered around us, with gratitude for the blessings of life, for understanding of its problems, and for strength to endure to the end. -Pres Heber J. Grant ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your success as a family...our success as a nation...depends not on what happens inside the White House, but on what happens inside your house. _Barbara Bush ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star" --Man of La Mancha ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around and shouting that he has been robbed. The fact of the matter is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." -Pres. Hinckley ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
