Austin and I had a wonderful day celebrating life, God's love, and the beauty of nature yesterday. We got dressed up and went to to our church for a great service and message. We both enjoy the people there and our pastor and are looking forward to continuing our faith journey together at Gator Wesley! After church we had a lovely dinner of cornish game hens, sweet potatoes, green beans and rice, and mushrooms in a red wine reduction. Plus some delicious Belgian beers and robin's eggs candy for an appetizer. Absolutely fantastic!
Once we completed our delicious meal, we changed out of dress clothes and went to the Kanapaha botanical gardens. There is a really nice variety of landscapes here, with a bamboo forest, herb garden, roses and lillies, and a koi pond. The weather was perfect, sunny but not too hot, and we spent the entire afternoon and early evening exploring the entire gardens :)
Yesterday evening we took it easy (after I went swimming...only 5 more days until the triathlon!), ate popcorn for dinner, and then enjoyed the new Sherlock Holmes series from the BBC.
Off to another work week here in the GNV but both of us feel very refreshed by this lovely weekend!
