Brown Paper Bag Date

It's not what you think! :) brown paper bags are very useful! :)

Last night while Curt was at his meeting I wrote down some serious and stupid and funny questions. I then included a king size Reese cups and king size twin bars. Yes, completely and totally healthy! ;)

Anyways... It was just much needed no cell phone or computer time. It was late by the time he got home, but I managed to stay awake! Haha!!! :)

We haven't had a date in a long time and while this isn't a get-out-of-the-house date... It is a date nonetheless. :) I told him I have a few more planned but will keep that a secret until I do them! Not sure if he's nervous about them or not? ;)

You don't have to get all fancy to have some nice quiet quality time with your spouse! A little planning and a brown paper bag! Anything you can fit in there for a nice fun date! :)

I did one where I grabbed a RedBox movie, a bag of microwave popcorn and some of his favorite candy. I wrote a note that said I promise to stay awake and off my phone. :) I think that was right before we left for China or right after we got home... I don't remember now... :)

Anywho, give it a try! :)

We sat and ate our candy and talked and asked questions! :) some of them we already knew, but that's ok! It is just the fact you are talking with nothing to interrupt! :)

Here are a few questions I asked:

What are your 5 favorite foods?
What is one goal I can help you accomplish this year?
What can I do to make you feel more loved?
What can I do to make you feel more respected?
What is your favorite book(s) of the Bible?
What is your favorite Bible verse(s)?
How would you describe me to someone who has never met me?

These are just a few things I wrote down... :)

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
