A Crepe and A Blessing

Sometimes blessings come from the most unexpected places at the most unexpected times.

Last week, Quid and I went to brunch at a crepe place close by. I had seen La Petite Creperie on Yelp and was curious to try it out. 

The place itself is really cute-very French, on the smallish side, but quaint in a good way. The menu is actually quite large, but since we were at a creperie, we decided to go with crepes! Duh haha.

We decided on one savory crepe (chicken and mushrooms with some kind of cream sauce on a whole wheat crepe) and one sweet crepe (a lemon citron). They were both really yummy!

As we sat and ate and chatted, one of the workers walked up to our table and told us that "the lady who just left took care of your bill." WHAT?!? We were shocked. The crazy thing is that this "lady" that he was referring to was this woman whom both of us had noticed because she had a huge colorful tattoo on her leg and she was kind of gruff-looking. Definitely not someone whom we would've thought would have been so kind and gracious like that.

It was a reminder to us not to judge a book-or a person-by their cover. This gruff-looking, tattooed up woman certainly blessed our socks off, and for no reason either-she doesn't even know us!

I'm totally wanting to pay it forward now~simply because to be the recipient of something like this is so special. And besides, it's something Jesus would do-treat others as you would want to be treated :)

Merci!

The other day I received a phone call from someone who goes to our church. I wondered why she called because she's not someone we talk to on a normal basis. Turns out that she made B and I one of her infamous homemade apple tarts and she wanted to drop it by. Oh my! I was so touched by her thoughtful gesture. She explained that she knew we were nearing the end of our pregnancy and she just wanted to make us this tart to encourage us. Awww <3 

These pics don't do the tart justice-it was quite large and wrapped so beautifully. I ended up cutting it up and giving some to both our parents because there was no way that we would be able to eat it all ourselves. 

So blessed to be in a community of Christ as we are. I don't know how people live without one!

Special thanks to Chris M. for the delicious tart! :)

It's Official!

My heart is full with the overwhelming blessing of how God takes care of His people. Today, B and I closed escrow on a miracle...OUR FIRST HOME!!!

It's been a crazy month or so as we dealt with all of this, and I will write more later with pics and all that good stuff, but just a pause today to recognize the big guy upstairs who orchestrated this all for us.

I'm overwhelmed. I'm speechless. I'm ecstatic. 

I can't wait to start this next new phase of life with B!

And, a huge shout out to our parents because without them none of this would have been possible <3

Home is where the Heart is,
