~Celebrating our 17th anniversary and Miracle Monday (late =)~

Phillip and I had a wonderful 17th anniversary!  Thank you for all of y'all's nice wishes and comments! =)

As you have probably noticed, we do everything together as a family.  =)  That's because we LOVE being a FAMILY!
Phillip wanted to do something more for anniversary, and God has worked it out so we can do something more, a little later.  (Details at the bottom of this post! =)
We had fun taking pictures of Phillip and I and of our family, and then we had a fun afternoon together relaxing in this beautiful park called National Park!  Here's some pics for you to enjoy!
~Our family~

~Our kids~

~I was just ready to push the button on the camera to take a picture of Elijah and Mary in this car that rocks, when Elijah sneezed.  It was such a funny picture, I had to post it.  Look at Mary's expression. =) ~

~Here's a better picture of our 2 youngest who bring SO MUCH JOY into our lives (as do their other 3 siblings! =) ~

~Our kids playing in the park, with 2 policemen on horses behind them.~

~National Park is a pretty park that we like to visit.~

~Then we went and ate supper together.  Right before we went to Argentina back in Oct. we saw that Papa John's Pizza had come to Colombia.  So, for our supper we ate at Papa Johns!  =)  Here the kids are watching them make our pizzas.~

~It was DELICIOUS!  You have to know that pizza here in Colombia is good, but it is nothing like the pizza that we are used to eating in the USA.  The total taste is different, and they don't use pepperoni on their pizza here either.
So, this is the first time we have had pepperoni on our pizza since Fall 2010 while working on our USA house!
We ENJOYED. EVERY. BITE. of our 2 pizzas and bread sticks and brought the extra seasonings and garlic butter home with us.  =D ~

~Mmmmm Good! (Mary was asleep in the stroller, but we saved her her share of yummy pizza! =) ~

~Still madly in love after 17 years! =) ~

~My sweetheart got me some Beautiful red roses and some Yummy chocolates too!~

We had a wonderful anniversary, and the neat thing is that it's NOT over yet!  =)
Here's a MIRACLE MONDAY...a day late!
Our family really wanted to go and visit our other 2 churches here in Colombia in Medellin and Cartagena,  but they are 12 and 24 hours away by bus.  (And we have been informed that it is not wise for us to take cross country buses right now for security reasons.)
We didn't really want to spend a lot of money on airplane tickets, so we prayed and asked Jesus that if it was HIS WILL for us to go...to PLEASE give us a good deal on airline tickets!
Well, I'm here to tell you that the day of MIRACLES is NOT over yet.  God gave us AWESOME deals on tickets!  Jesus gave us 18 airline tickets to fly to 3 different cities, (Bogota to Medellin, Medellin to Cartagena, and then Cartagena back to Bogota) for all 7 of us for a grand total of $700!!!!!  Isn't that AMAZING?
In all Phillip's years traveling back and forth to visit our churches he has NEVER seen airplane tickets this low! 
This trip will be to visit our 2 churches and encourage our people in the ways of the Lord, and to celebrate Kimberly finishing 8th grade, and our 17th anniversary! =)    We leave next week, Lord willing.  We are so excited!
Isn't God so InCrEdIbLe?  Totally Awesome!  =) =) =) =) =) =)
