Romance Weekend

Jim and I got to take part in Romance Weekend with our church during the weekend of November 5 and 6.  The picture above is from our big date night on Saturday Night with the group from the event.

The weekend was perfect because it was close to home and really focused on how you can connect with your spouse and gave you practical ways and time to do it during the event.  Our church also set it up beautifully for people with small children in the sense that we were able to go home during the evening (they did recommend a hotel if this was something you could work out) and have large gaps in the schedule to tend to them if necessary.  This worked out perfect for us.  My parents did watch the kids for big chunks for time, but with Evie being so little and still nursing it was a little tricky - so this format was awesome!

During the weekend had a great time and started out with a message on Friday evening and then a night of bowling.  Here is a picture of our scores.  As you can see from the picture it was not a my best work.  Jim did pretty decent.  Our friend Sara did awesome! :)

Then on Saturday morning we headed to the State Capital.  Evie came along for this part of the event.  We had a good time walking around and connecting with our mates during this activity, Evie did awesome too. 

Later that evening, we had our big date and also got to play group Bunco.  We almost were the grand Bunco champions.  We didn't win in the final round, so close!  Overall, this was such a special weekend the church set up to get closer to our mates and also to remember to always put God at the center.  We were blessed to be able to take part as well as have my parents watch the kiddos. Thanks Mom and Dad!
