I thought that in honor of MCM I'd share some of Joseph and my favorite things :) Just random things we love to do together or just both really love!
1) World Cup Soccer! (Ahhem, Joseph calls it football because you know, he's cool like that, and has even taught Charley to call it football as well!) the World Cup begins THURSDAY! And we are getting prepped and ready for the month long celebration of the worlds sport. I've ordered shirts and jerseys and have big plans for house decorations in the works! It will be so fun!
Us at the Netherlands vs Denmark Match at Soccer City in Johannesburg, South Africa - 2010
2) Luther. Joseph and I love watching good tv and we have been in search of a new "show" for a good while. We love what the BBC produces, and Luther does not disappoint. It's about a homicide detective, John Luther, his genius ability to get in the minds of criminals, and the big question of what is truly right and wrong. It's sometimes gritty (it is a show about murder) so we have to watch after the girlies have gone to bed. It is a mini series so there are only four or so episodes a season, but they are so stinking good! We only have time to watch one at a time, which is good, because mentally I think that's all one can take. We stream this on Netflix.
3) Basin Burger. http://www.basinburgerhouse.com I'm not sure if it's sad or awesome that I have their number programmed in my phone!? While we love to dine in when we can, takeout is more convenient for us and the girlies early bedtimes. The best burger in town in my opinion. Homemade buns. Yummy sweet potato and regular fries, and their meatloaf is to die for. When we eat here we feel like it's a game to see which "side" we sit on. The "family" side (on the left of the door with the booths) or the "cool" side (on the right of the door with the bar and patio). We only get sat on the cool side when we are sans kids. The only con to Basin Burger is it's all the way across town. But it's well worth the drive :)
4) Indian food. Gosh it's no wonder out waist lines aren't slimming down with all the tv and food we enjoy ;) But seriously, this place in Midland: http://www.indianfoodmidland.com has the BEST (and to my knowledge, only) Indian food. We only do takeout since he last time we dined in someone got stabbed in the parking lot. No lie. It's so delicious and the garlic naan is out of this world. A little pricey, but then again we do order A TON of garlic naan plus simosas and our entrees ;) (Also across town and in a shady hotel. Strange thing: they also make pizzas!)
5) Books. While we don't necessarily do this together, we do this together. As in we typically read in bed before we go to sleep (or we did before we found Luther!). We both love reading and it's a treasured part of Charley's bedtime routine that we swap out on.
6) The Girlies. Obviously. :) We adore our lil ladies and love watching them grow into bigger people (even if it is painful that they can't be little forever!) It's amazing to think that we are allowed to be their parents forever. When I see our girls I just see the Grace and Bigness and Beauty of our God. So much goodness.
