NEW Phtoto Challenge: Capturing December

I LOVED this photo challenge I found from acontenthousewife.com. I need to take more photos and this will help me focus!

Tomorrow is DAY 1! #CapturingDecember

Alto at The Scottsdale Hyatt

The Stud surprised me this week. He took me out on the town since I had the day off of work. It was heaven!
He found this place: The Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort. 

We didn't stay there, we just ate there. And I gotta tell ya . . . 

It. Was. SWEET.

It was quite possibly the best meal I've EVER eaten. I had an authentic Italian pasta.

 The Stud got the pan-seared tuna. 

 We shared this fabulous {and flippin' cute!!} dessert.

 We finished it off with a complimentary gondola ride

{complete with an Italian serenade from our gondolier.}

 I don't have very many perfect days,

but this was definitely one of them.

My Baptism Towel: Free Printable

My youngest son was baptized this weekend and it reminded me of a poem a wrote years ago.

At church, I was working with the children ages 3-12 at the time. Every year we gave a pure, white towel to each child getting baptized. I wanted to add a little something so we attached this poem:

It was so sweet to see each child's reaction to their special towel.

It's a SWEET memory. =)
