the big day, man VS food...

"delight yourself in the lord, and he shall give you the desires of your heart."
psalms 37:4

this verse has proven itself true over and over.
god is such a big part of this family owned restaurant. and i honestly think that because of it he has chosen to bless them beyond measure. in a shaky world they just keep growing and prospering.
i am truly blessed to be a part of this family.

my husband is beaming from ear to ear!
more excited then a child waiting to go to disney world for the first time!

and he has reason to be.
his hard work, one of his biggest joys, and his heart is about to be witnessed nationally.
the place he practically grew up in! all his favorite early childhood memories stem from his grandpa, grandma and YODER'S.

i'm so very excited for him!

since i moved here nearly 10 years ago, yoder's has been a huge part of my life as well.
so, in honor of this super once in a lifetime kinda day...

i'm giving my most favorite "yoder's" memory.
which, by the way was kinda hard for me to decided...
so much has gone on there....

anyway...
right after brian and i got married we lived in the house right behind the restaurant (which is now their offices). we lived there around 5 months until we bought our home. at some point while we were living there i was starving one night after he had already locked up for the night. after much debate and complaining on his part to have walk back over there we decided to go over together....
we had a plan, something he surprisingly had never done before, and i surely hadn't either.
we walked over to the restaurant....
cut a piece of EVERY pie they make and took a bite of each one. and for those of you who don't know yoder's, that's about 37 different kinds....
and yes, i even tried mincemeat (gross).
needless to say, we both walked home full, with a sweet sugar high! ;)



here are some pictures of the "pie party" we had tonight with the kids in honor of man VS food....







NATIONALLY!
i still can't hardly believe it!
