Date night :)

So this past weekend Wade and I went out on a date... it was so fun and much needed! We have been so busy painting the house, building a pantry, having visitors, getting ready for baby, etc etc. that it was nice to get out of the house. I was reading on someone's blog (I think it was Michele's blog?) the other week about a thing their church is participating in called Great Date Experiment and checked out the site. Wade and I decided to do the experiment and try out all the 6 dates. And who doesn't love an excuse to go out on a date with their love? So we started with doing date one. You all should check it out if you haven't already... go ahead and click on the link above.

Here are some pics we took when we got home since we don't have many together with this belly of mine :)

In our living room

Ooh lala ;)

Before our date night I went out to target to get a maternity dress. I ended up with two of them... the one in the picture and this one:

Sorry for the poor quality but as you can see it was taken on my cell phone in the dressing room... hope that's not illegal but I had to text my sis for advice on which to buy ;)

Best part of this shopping excursion is that everything I bought was with left over Christmas money so they were free to me :) I am one of those people who saves all gift money forever until I find exactly what I want to spend this extra cash on. I had been thinking for awhile I wanted to pick up some dresses for baby boy's showers but hadn't found one I really liked... so this past Friday I went out and found 2! I think I may get one or two more cause they are so comfy and will last, hopefully, the rest of pregnancy. Plus I still have like $100 left of gift money to spend. We will see though.

Let me know if you check out the site and decide to do the dates as well. Would be fun to hear how God grows everyone's marriages even stronger through date nights.  Since this post is already getting ridicilously long I will post how the date went tomorrow.

One last thing, here is a verse I found last week that has really been on my heart so I thought I'd share it with you all:

"See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. As has just been said:

"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion." Hebrews 3:12-15

I love how it reminds us to encourage one another every day, not just when we have bible study or church but each day make sure that no one becomes hardened by sin's deceitfulness. Such a good reminder!
