Ugly Sweaters & Date Night

These past few days have just a bit busy for us.  I finished my youth ministry class last Thursday, we have finals this week, and then we are leaving to the Dominican Republic in 9 days.  We are so extremely excited and ready for a vacation!

Today at church, we had an ugly sweater contest and I'm sad to announce that we did not win.  Unfortunately, we didn't get early enough to church for our pastor to see us before he announced the winners, otherwise we would have won.  Nonetheless, everyone who saw us laughed and told us that we should have won.  

Here is a picture of our costumes.   

In the middle of our busy week of classes and studying for finals, we still made time to go out on a date.  I want to encourage all couples to set aside one day of the week to go out on a date.  It doesn't matter if you've been married for 1 year or 40 years, or if you have kids or you don't, just go out and have fun with each other. Your marriage will be healthier and I just know you'll be blessed.  

Here is a picture of us on our date night. 

   

Please keep us in your prayers as we take our final exams this week.  Thank you :)
