Date Weekend

Mike and I rarely get to go out for a date night at this point in our lives. It just doesn't happen with the way our life is right now. I'm not complaining . . . just stating the facts. This too shall pass.

Anyway, this weekend we were blessed to be able to spend the whole day and evening together on Saturday. We left the kids in the capable hands of Grandma and Grandpa halfway through the morning . . . just enough time to do a bit of shopping before lunch. Then we had lunch together. Table for two. No crayons. No cutlery being thrown around. No bathroom breaks every five minutes. And we actually had a conversation with no interuptions. Wow!

Then our afternoon was spent at an End the Wait seminar. "Come hear from adoptive families, Christian adoption professionals and churches making a difference in the lives of adoptive families; then join the conversation as we talk about the many ways believers can respond to God’s call to “look after orphans . . . in their distress” (James 1:27)." Steven Curtis Chapman and Geoff Moore were even there sharing their adoption stories. After that we went met up with some good friends for dinner. Friends we don't get to see very often so that was fun too.

And then the day was finished off with this:

Mike's been a fan of SCC forever and I got him tickets for Christmas. We had great seats - three rows back from the stage, right in the middle so we were looking straight on at the stage. Just as we anticipated, the music was incredible and the stories and testimonies shared were so moving. We loved it. And the kids had a great time at home. Grandma and Grandpa took them to the airplane museum and all six of them had fun. It was an awesome day for everyone with lots of new memories created!
