Our Dates

This weekend it seemed like N and I were in different directions.  He spend most of his weekend with his friends.  Friday night he had a friend over to play some World of Warcraft so Zoe and I went on a date to Red Robin for dinner and then to Grandma's house to make our Halloween costumes.

Saturday N went with some of the men from our church to help stack wood for a lady in our church.  She uses a wood stove as her main heating source in the winter, so every October the men in our church head to her house and chop the wood for her.  While it was quite a bit of manual labor, N had a blast.  I think it's fabulous that he dedicates his time on Saturday to help our church family.

That meant that Zoe and I were on our own.  We went to her school for a book fair, bought her some new additions to her library and then we went on date number two for lunch.  Then it was off to church for an ice cream social with some ladies to welcome our new pastor's wife.

What really hit me this weekend was how truly blessed I am.  I have a husband who loves his family, both our nuclear family and our church family.  I have a daughter who I am blessed to spend time with and actually wants to spend time with me.

Even though we were going in different directions this weekend, N and I had our souls fed with friendship and family. 

I think it was a good weekend for Zoe too.  She asked daddy on a date last night.
