Dates Galore.....

So our weeks holiday ended and Leah got sick.

She started to feel sick while getting ready for bed Sunday evening,  but thought she was just tired, and so quickly got into bed so she could fall asleep. A few hours later she was up vomiting and with diarrhea. I felt so sorry for her. She was soooo sick. We thought it would be a 24 hour bug but it lasted a whole week!! She had vomitting and diarrhea until Wednesday morning, then she stopped vomiting but still had diarrhea and nausea until the Saturday morning. By Saturday afternoon she was feeling a lot better but it sure took a lot out of her.

Over the last few weeks, once again, a lot has been happening. Here are some highlights.....

A night in Copenhagen at a Ladies night. It was a 2 hour talk about making peace with your body. My old neighbour had invited me along and I thought it would be fun. I met her after work and we had a quick bit to eat before heading to the talk. It was very interesting and it was really great to get to hang out with my old neighbour again.  

Wondeful, wonderful Copenhagen!!! 

There was a 40th Birthday party for my colleague. It was held in this cosy restaurant which I just adored. The food was also really great! We had a lovely afternoon lunch with her and her family.

Then we had a birthday here for our neighbour Mia. She turned 19. Since our dining area is bigger than our neighbours, we held the party here. We had a great evening together with her and her friends.

Her mum made all the food and the most delicious chocolate cake for dessert!

Then there was an evening out with a friend from work. We went out to dinner. It was great to have a few hours to chat together instead of just a few minutes during breaktime at work. We had such a great evening out. After dinner we went to the movies and saw La La Land. What a brilliant movie!! We both loved it.

  
The music was fantastic and the story too. If you love musicals go see it. I even had a wee cry at the end. As soon as I got to the car I had the music downloaded and I was listening to it all the way home. (I am driving Kristian crazy playing the music all the time! haha) I hope I can squeeze in another visit to see it  - and soon!

Kristian and I had a date night too. Since it was such a beautiful evening, we went for a quick walk, then headed to a restaurant we had never been to before. to try out their Buffet. It was absolutely delicious! Great food at a great price! It will not be the last time we go there.

  After dinner we saw the film  - A United Kingdom. We didn´t know too much about the storyline, just that it was based on a true story and that it was a love story. Oh my, what a story that was!! We just loved the film. 

I also used some time to decorate a mirror that hangs in our closet. I have been doing a Bible study about what God says about me. What is my identity in Jesus and so I thought I would write some of the things that God says about me on the mirror.

  

So many times we can believe the lies that Satan tells us instead of the truth that God tells us. It´s sooo important to know these truths. 

I saw this idea about putting them on a mirror and thought it was great! Instead of just seeing me in the morning, I can see, and remind myself of some of the truths that God says about me and about my life.

I put at the top of the mirror "MY DADDY SAYS..."  (then the truths) that He will never leave me...that I am not condemned... That I am the apple of his eye...That I should not worry about anything but talk to him about everything...That I am precious... That I am his child....That I am forgiven....That I can find refuge under his wings....That I am totally forgiven....That he loves me.... That nothing will seperate me from his love....That I belong to him. That I can come boldly before him....That I am his friend....and the list could go on.
