Great Date #2

From MarriedLife Live:

"Most of us want to spend time with our spouse, but most of us don't spend enough time with our spouse. When we do get time together, a lot of us experience the classic, "What do you want to do? I don't know, what do you want to do?"

MarriedLife presents the Great Date Experiment. For the next 6 months, once a month, MarriedLife is rolling out a different Great Date. Each date is complete, yet you get to choose the options. "

If you'd like to have some GREAT DATES (they are so fun!!), you can download the dates here.

Each date has a theme, one of the six essentials of marriage: (in no particular order)
1. Hurry home
2. Nurture Romance
3. Celebrate Differences
4. Cultivate Communication
5. Trust God
6. Finish Together

Our dates have been so much fun and we've made some great memories that will last a lifetime. Here are some pictures from our second Great Date a couple weeks ago.

We went to Casablanca, a Mediterranean restaurant, and tried a bunch of appetizers for dinner. So good!!!

Then we went to a park and swung on the swings.

Then we went to a grocery store and picked out a dessert for each other (something the other had never tried before - under $2) and told each other why we picked what we did.

Steve got me some milk chocolate because I started liking milk chocolate more since my pregnancy. I got Steve peanut butter whoppers because he loves peanut butter and malt, so the combo must be fabulous!

The paper square is our "date instructions."

Then Steve carved our initials on a tree in my mom's front yard.

So romantic... ;-)

Four years (June 11) and going strong! I love this man!!! He is the greatest husband and father a woman could ask for! I thank my God for him so much!!!

Thanks to Buckhead Church MarriedLife Live for such a great date; and thanks to my mom for babysitting for free!
