first dinner in the new apartment : crêpes

okay so it was at 10:45 pm by the time i made it. and it was breakfast.
it was good.

and we ate them on bird plates, which made them even better.

the reason it was so late: we had to buy food! it was our first trip to aldi, as recommended by our mentor couple. it was no whole foods but we saved a bunch of money. (I compared what we bought to the store brand at Ingles later that night.)

yup, we're big kids now.

ina + florin

ina & florin are our mentor couple for our 2-to-1 premarital counseling through North Point. we have a such a good time with them, and leave their house every Wednesday really energized and bursting with excitement about each other & our upcoming marriage.

i love this couple so much. they're Romanians that have been living here raising their kids since the early '90s, and are working to start a strategic partnership back home in Romania. they've been a great couple for us to spend time with. they are so candid about their struggles & triumphs in their marriage through their many years together. we've also gotten a sneak peek at their incredible parenting skillz. 

i think one of the reasons kc & i have felt so connected to them is the huge heart we four share for the same region of the world. i'm looking forward to staying in touch with them as they venture on to do some really challenging things.

below is a map with Romania & our beloved Eesti highlighted for you geographically challenged folks. thanks google!
