				Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday
Saturday our youngest son, al-Malik celebrated his 18th birthday, it was both exciting yet bittersweet.  I can still remember the night I gave birth to him, 2 weeks early and all the pain he caused me during delivery.  Now, he’s a senior in High School and soon will be leaving the nest…perhaps…maybe…let’s pray on it!  
Anywho, hubby and I decided to spend the day together before taking him out to dinner later in the evening.  My husband doesn’t usually like to go shopping with me, so it was definitely a treat, he even took these pictures.  After all the snow and cold it turned out to be a nice winter Saturday so a sweater and ski vest was all that was needed.
 
 
My BFF commented that I looked like I was at a ski resort – I wish it were true because I’ve never been to one.  #bucketlist
 
 
These are my favorite boots, not just because of the leopard print but because they are very warm so I don’t need to wear socks.

We went to Red Lobster which was Malik’s favorite when he was a little guy, and seeing him across the table now as a big guy was amazing.  #blessed
