Lent

This year, for the first time, Bryan and I will be participating in Lent together.  We knew that we wanted to do something that would truly feel like a sacrifice for us.  After much deliberation, we've decided to give up lactose items for Lent this year- all cheese, pudding, whipped topping, ice cream, string cheese, creamy jalepeno at Chuys, goldfish, milk chocolate, etc.  However, we did feel we needed an exception for plain milk (for Bryan) and plain yogurt (for me) to make sure that we still get enough calcium.  Planning dinners just got harder.

We know that this is going to be rough. I think it will be really good for us to remember why we're participating in Lent.  

In other news, we're on the search for a blog layout!  Any good websites we should check out?

Random Question: Are you participating in Lent this year?  

Our Answer: See above. :-)

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Happy Valentine's Day from The Sonniers! 

But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.  I Cor. 13:13 (MSG)

This is our first Valentine's Day as a married couple!  Very exciting!  We try to show love to each other and those around us on a daily basis, so today is just an extra loving day.
It's nice to have a special lovie day, but overall it really is about loving unconditionally and inconveniently on all of the other day's of the year.  Good thing we have a lot of extra days to practice loving. :-)  

Sunday - early church(we're loving The Village!), Ikea(scouting out some furniture), Chuy's for lunch, relaxing and watching the Olympics!
 
Saturday we went with Peyton & William to Buca di Beppos and then to see the movie Valentine's Day.  It was pretty cute and definitely puts you in the Valentine's Day spirit!

Congratulations to Erica & Josh on your engagement!! We were so excited to get a text late last night sharing your news with us!!   

I've decided our blog will always have a random question at the end.  I love random questions!

Random Question:  What is your favorite Valentine's Day candy?  

Our Answers: Heart-Shaped Reese's (Bryan), Heart-Shaped Runts (Jonna) 

Welcome!!

I'm working on getting this up and running!  I completely underestimated the amount of time that it takes just to create a layout!

Any suggestions, tips, or good topics are greatly appreciated!!
