This magical thing has started to grow in our church - we are encouraged to make our marriage come first and attempt to go on a date once a week.
At first, I thought this was something that was a nice thought but would never happen until it did.
We have a new family that moved to Lake Havasu from South Dakota and they had been in charge of a babysitting coop before and asked what a few families thought about a test run.
We will watch 10 kids one Saturday night from 6-9 either at our house or at the church and will in return have five other Saturdays FREE.
This was Clairana last Saturday at her 'date night' - the kids had a blast and were asleep before we even got home. (I was nervous when my phone showed a missed message before we even made it through dinner! Just a cute picture!) It also helps that Coraline has started nursery at church and knows most of the kids..and well Levi and I enjoyed dinner ALONE and did a little shopping.
We are VERY excited to have this time to go out and enjoy each other - knowing our kids are in great hands.
I am VERY thankful for our church family it definitely makes living away from everyone much much easier.
