Okay all you blogging friends out there, don't judge me for what I am about to admit...Steve and I abandoned FHE tonight for a deal that we couldn't turn down. (don't worry, we postponed FHE for FHD - that'd be Family Home Day, happening tomorrow, we have all day together.) Anyway, our friends the Palisi's invited us out on their boat. It was a beautiful night and we had the HUGE lake of Winnipesaukee all to ourselves because it was a bit breezy which made the lake choppy. (nobody wanted to be out on the choppy lake I guess) But...it was still so much fun to be out on our beautiful lake and see all the islands and mountains surrounding us. We had a great time!
Steve and I hung out in the back while the Palisi's drove us all around. We got a bit wet here and there but didn't care because it was so beautiful. (I'm totally LOVING my comb over bangs!:)
This is my good friend Sharon, she lost her son Nicholas two years ago at the age of 6 to brain/spine cancer. We have been through a lot together.
This is Sharon's husband Joe - he was the captain for the night. I can't tell you how healing it was to be out amongst the amazing creations of our Heavenly Father. I could've sat out there forever just basking in the beauty of it all. To cap off a perfect night, my hubby took me out to dinner at our favorite restaurant. Nothing like having a fun spontaneous night out and having kids that are very forgiving/understanding. Here's a brief clip of us out on the boat...

so glad you got to go out and have FUN!!! I'm sure it's been way too long. We LOVED Lake W. and wish we could spend time there with the Ayers and friends every summer.
Wow I like the new background of your blog! How fun the go out on the boat for the evening. Oh and by the way I love your food storage it looks great! and Yummy
That sounds sooooo wonderful. Marc and I are trying to figure out time together because life has just gotten extremely hecktic of late. I feel totaly inadiquite when it come to my storage. I do have lots of jam. I made 4 batches of raspberry, blackberry and peach and 5 batches of huckleberry...we can live on that right? Love you Stacie
Nothing like a bit of God's world to bring you back... now go and hug your kids!
I forgot how nice that lake is, I have sand... Looks like it was a great night. It always renews your spirit when you are out on the water. I went to the ocean with my kids over the summer and I just sat there and soaked it up and got the energy back.
I really miss the water.
But I don't miss the snow.
Tom - but we MISS you! C'mon...snow isn't that bad, just a couple months worth and then it's over. (that's what I keep telling myself, but in reality I'm beginning to think warmer might be better!:)
FUN! your comb over bangs really are the best look for you!
Maybe we should all be snowbirds and come to Arizona in the winter and New England in the summer.
Don't you feel bad one bit for rescheduling FHE...happy kids need happy parents. You need to be sure to do things just for you...the whole family will benefit!
Hi Becky--so glad you and Steve were able to get away for an evening. Nothing like being on the water to bring peace to your soul. I've always loved the water, and we'll be on the Cape this coming week at our timeshare--ocean across the street and the bay behind us!! I am so sorry about your friends' Sharon and Joe and the loss of their son. He is with the angels for sure. Glad you had such a nice time--you both deserved it. Love, Aunt Shirley
