An early birthday gift, among other things

Monday evening, my amazing husband said that he had a surprise for me... my birthday gift. :) Yep. It's pretty early, but Tony couldn't wait all the way until the 23rd of this month to give it to me. So as we sat down to eat dinner, we played a guessing game and then he slipped a piece of paper under the table to me and this is what it said....

Ohh! I am so excited! We are going to have our very own Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer!! :) I was able to pick a color and place the order online on Tuesday -- the UPS guy should be dropping it off some time next week and I've already started to reorganize my counters in the kitchen. ;) I am so grateful to God for this gift, but even more so for my sweet husband that gave it to me! Words will never be able to adequately express the love that Tony & I share; our marriage truly is a gift from God!!! And I stand in awe of all that HE's taught us and how HE's knitted our hearts together as one flesh! {{I love you so much, Tony Denham}}.

It's weird to think that I'll be turning 25 years old in less then twenty days. Our life truly is a vapor in light of eternity. May all my days be lived to the glory of my Creator! Serving those that I love the most! And advancing the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We've decided that Discrete Mathematics is going to be "the thorn in our side" this semester. Seriously. That stuff is hard to wrap our mind around, especially when the textbooks and lectures provided don't really teach you the material. So, we've been resorting to the wonderful world of youtube to watch lectures. It's been helpful. By God's grace, He will grant us the wisdom needed to do well in this class.

Last night, Tony wanted a soup ... a cheesy soup. He is great at concocting new recipes, so last night we combined a jar of spaghetti sauce, 1.5 cups of chicken broth, and 1 cup of shredded cheese in a large sauce pan. Heated it through for a few minutes, dished it out into bowls and enjoyed. It was real yummy and real easy!! :)

Also, as I'm sure some of you have noticed, I've been changing the layout of my blog a lot lately. I kind of have in my mind what I would like, but am having a hard time finding it online. This current layout is not the one... and I can't figure out how to change it to "Leave a comment" instead of "Leia Mais." Oh well, maybe one of these days I'll find a layout that I really love.
