Our Anniversary


Our first anniversary was AWESOME!  We had a great time staying down at the oceanfront in the same hotel where we stayed on our wedding night.  We had originally thought we even were in the same exact room, but we were off by a couple floors.  Oh well.  Anyway, we enjoyed a FABULOUS dinner at Eurasia Café, exchanged thoughtful gifts, and simply enjoyed ourselves. 






The next morning we went to Pocahontas Pancakes down on Atlantic Ave.  We had gone there the morning after the wedding with Holly & her cousin.  Nothing says honeymoon quite like dining with your friends!


I had the almond French toast.  IT WAS DELICIOUS.  And I don't even like bananas.  Dan had a sampler of sorts, which he found absolutely edible--in other words, not as fabulous as mine, but definitely good eats.


We decided to start an anniversary tradition.  On our anniversary, we will take a photo of ourselves holding the photo taken of us the year before.  This year, since it was our first anniversary, we held a photo of us leaving the wedding.  So pretty!  Next year, we'll have this year's photo of us holding last year's photo.  The photos of the photos will keep getting smaller, but way cute huh!?!  I got the idea on Pinterest.  That's pretty much the birthplace of all good ideas anymore.  Oh to be original.


Oh how I love this man!  This isn't quite the best photo of us, but it's good enough for the blog.  We've yet to decide which photo we're going to have enlarged for our annniversary photo project.   We've got nearly a year to worry about that though.

LESS THAN ONE MONTH 'TIL OUR SEALING!

Being Humble & Offended

Image
Is it at all possible to be truly humble and find oneself taking offense?  I don't think so.  According to THIS DEFINITION  of "offend," it seems to me that in order to be offended, one must assume malice on the part of the supposed offender.  Being assumptive is pretty much the same as being judgemental, is it not?  How can one be judgemental and still be humble?  I daresay it cannot be done. Clearly, there are 'offending' situations in life.  All sin is offensive to the pure in heart.  But since every single one of us is human and does sin, it goes without saying that not a single one of us is truly pure.  Who am I to be offended by the actions of another?  Oftentimes at church I hear that this person was offended by that person, or that person was offended by so-and-so's words, etc.  I wonder if perhaps the offended person were to just not assume/believe the offender meant harm, how easily the situation could be remedied.  I believe that if I am being

I Forgot About This Talk!

Below is my sacrament meeting talk that I gave in the Cape Henry Ward before I moved away from Virginia Beach in the spring.  It was okay.   Candace Elaine White’s Sacrament Talk May 26, 2013   Based on "Being a More Christian Christian" by Elder Robert D. Hales and "Converted unto the Lord" by Elder David A. Bednar from October 2012 General Conference   In Primary, we sing a song that goes "Do as I’m doing, Follow follow me." For each verse, a child is chosen to be the leader and chooses an action—such as clapping, marching in place, or twirling—for all the children to do as they sing and simply follow along. This song is a great way to work out some of the pent up wiggles that need to be shaken loose after trying so hard to be still and reverent in sacrament meeting. But this song, as all songs in Primary, also serves to teach simple gospel truths to the children (and adults too). This song teaches us to follow a leader, and our Leader is Jesus

Merry Christmas Candy AND Be POSITIVE!

Lookie what I got for Christmas from my dear husband Dan! He found it on Craigslist.  We went to see it and not only was the piano cool, but the people he bought it from were great too.  Dan's Home Teaching companion, Jason Bosko, helped Dan bring it to the house.  HOORAY! I'm not musically talented, or at least I don't think I am.  I had two or three lessons when I was five years old.  I know middle C.  My knowledge ends right about there.  However, I am hopeful and I believe I am a good learner.  I've been practicing, and so far I can play "I Am a Child of God" pretty well, but just with my right hand.  None of this left hand business is down just yet.  Anyway, I practice everyday and I can't wait until I play a perfect waltz! So, this is me in my quest to BE POSITIVE.  With hard work, some blessings from above, and a positive attitude, I will develop this talent.  YES!
