You know you live in WI when...

...your husband comes in from plowing the driveway and using the snow blower with a drenched shirt from sweat. At my surprise he says, "It's hot out there!"  I turn to look at the thermometer, which reads 36 deg, and say, "You're right. It is!"

Yes, only in Wisconsin is 36 deg "hot".  :-)

Milka Chocolate Anyone???

Some of you may remember from our trips to Ukraine that I LOVE Milka chocolate!  Believe it or not, I'm really not a big fan of chocolate. I'll caramel instead any day. But Milka is different - oh so yummy - the best chocolate in the world says my Ukrainian friend, Max, and I agree!

My dear husband just returned from a 3-week trip to Russia for work.  I am SO glad to have him home. (He got in almost 8 hours late last night and had every imaginable type of delay possible, but he made it. Thank you Lord!)  Anyway, he picked up some Milka for me to donate to the Hidden Treasures auction. (Hidden Treasures auction runs every other month to support a family adopting from Pleven, Bulgaria. It's lots of fun!)  So, if you are craving some chocolate - some really, really good chocolate, hop on over to the blog site and put your bid in. It's super easy and just follow the directions here.



Here is the first collection. Pat was told the chocolate w/ the baby on the label is the best Russian chocolate, made in Moscow. I haven't tried it yet.




Here is the second collection. All Milka...yum...

Hope to "see" you over there!

Happy Anniversary!

Eighteen years ago today, I married my best friend, my soul mate, and the man that God had ordained since the beginning of time to be my husband.  The Lord has truly, truly blessed me with a godly man that not only loves his wife and family, but loves and serves the Lord!  I am so very grateful!!!

I have often wondered if the trees have been this brilliant since that year. :-) I think this year comes pretty close! I LOVE the reds in the trees this year.



Today, I remembered to pull out our wedding video to watch. It must have been awhile since Anna doesn't really remember seeing it. I gave them an assignment - it was a school day after all.  I told them they needed to figure out how many hairs Daddy has lost and how many gray hairs Mommy has gained since we got married. LOL

Happy Anniversary, Pat. I love you dearly. I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for us the next 18 years!!!
