I never make new year's resolutions. NEVER. Really, it is because I do not want to make one, then fail at it...so if I just never make one, I cannot fail. This has always seemed like a good plan to me.
Most new year's resolutions seem revolve around food...and trying not to eat it, or sweating it off...or resolving to eat only celery stalks for lunch...this is SO not me. I am a lover of all things eatible and have no will power to stay away form such treats. Nor do I intend to.
This year however the Captain and I made a joint resolution that did, in fact, revolve around food. We even shook on it! So now we are in for the long haul. A promise made is a promise kept in the Chastain household...we are people of integrity, a man and woman of our word. Our word is our bond kind of thing. So a resolution we made, and we are resolved to see it through.
Oh, you want to know what it is...OK.
We were eating out on our "big Christmas date" and got to talking about all the places we have never eaten...(in our city, not the world...that would be quite a long list)...so we decided that it would be a great idea to go one new place to eat every month. So this year we resolved to eat more...so to speak.
So if you know any great places to eat ( for a reasonable price of course) let us know...as I said before...we shook on it, so now we are locked into the deal...being the honerable and upstanding kinda people we are. So we will just have to eat our way through this year... (Ahh, sweeter words have never been uttered!)
Wish us luck!

who we claim to be
- Andy and Cari
- Hey all,If you do not know us, the first thing you should know is how much we love the Lord our God, and we are striving to live lives worthy of the title, Believer. The second is we are praying everyday for His return. On that day we will be reunited with our precious baby girl Caden, the treasure of our hearts. Since the death of our daughter we have battled grief, hurt, tears in public, brain surgery and chemo. We have also celebrated new life in the birth of our 2 sons. So come, read, share and enjoy the life God has given us. Although it is not perfect, or even what we had planned it is what He wants for us, so we choose to rejoice.
start here!!!
The Captain and Cari
Our Joy, Caden Joelle.
"Michael said Caden's funeral felt like a wedding. I smile to type that, because in many ways, it was: a celebration of one little bride being united with the Lamb."

things that make me laugh
I came back into the room from treating myself to a nice, cold diet coke when I saw the Captain playing with Rigg. He was making the stuffed animal dance in the air toward our son and saying in a sing-song voice “Here comes the zebra.” I looked at him and said in the exact same sing-song voice “It’s a giraffe.” To which the Captain, with only the briefest pauses, sing-songed back the reply… “Daddy had brain surgery.“
I stalk much...

Oooo, I LOVE this resolution!
By the way, my sewing machine is currently being tuned up, but your apron and hat set will come eventually. :)
As far as restaurants go, we are kind of regulars at a few places. Not that we go that often, but when we do go out, we tend to go to all the same places. I'll let you know if I think of any place though.
What a great resolution!!! I love trying new places- I just can't always talk my husband into it :)
