Anniversary at the Metropark

We went to the Metropark Sunday night for burgers. Here's some pictures.
Here's us. On our first anniversary.

Here's the yummy burgers and potatoes we had for dinner.
Don't worry, they weren't done yet.

Here's what most of the Metropark looks like. There are places with playgrounds and shelters also. We weren't far from the waterpark either.

Our friend the dragonfly. We went for a walk in the woods and found him.

Another view of the Metropark. This is a stream that feeds into the Huron River that runs through the park. Very gorgeous.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Today is our first wedding anniversary! Last night we celebrated by going out to eat and to a movie. We went to Carrabba's (Brian's favorite) and ate far too much. We had a really great waitress and an even greater brownie dessert!

After dinner, we had about an hour to waste before the movie, so we wandered through Michael's and Dunham's looking at stuff. We then went to the Canton Cinema and watched Wall*E. It was an excellent movie and even a love story. :) We thoroughly enjoyed it and the company we had with each other.

We're not really doing much today to celebrate. We went to Dearborn Christian Fellowship for church again this morning and talked with a few more people. I slept and Brian saved the world this afternoon. We're now getting ready to visit the park with some burgers and rollerblades for a relaxing evening in the outdoors. It's truly a blessing to have such a great park so close by.

Thanks for the anniversary wishes we've received so far!

"Same Kind of Different As Me"

Until this evening, I could honestly say that I have never cried while reading a book. The book I just finished has ended that. I read "Same Kind of Different As Me" by Ron Hall & Denver Moore. It is the story of a couple and their journey with a homeless man. It is the best book I have read in a very long time and definitely worth the tears. Get a copy if you can. It's worth it.

Cars and Beavers

Here's two pictures of my parents at the Henry Ford Museum on their anniversary.

Here's me in one of Ford's cars. You could actually turn the handle in the front and it would "start". You could also move all the pedals and handles.

Here's me by a beaver at the Detroit Historical Museum.
