My birthday was Sunday and Gregg had called Lindsey to arrange for her to watch the kids. Then he printed out various restaurant menus from around town for me to choose where I wanted to go. I chose Harrigan's because it is a local place that sounded un-kid-friendly that I wanted to try.
Birthdays ~ don't have to be big but I love initiative!
...Gotta love free in-law babysitting. But how awesome is this? Lindsey was "paying it forward" to us with her time and I got to pay it forward right back to her. Our church is doing an "At the Movies" sermon series (complete with candy, popcorn and caffiene). Every week through this series, red tickets are passed out as you enter the building. At the end of the sermon, two ticket #'s are called and the winner gets a $25 gift card to the movies. Gregg and I had already decided when the sermon series started that if we ever won, we'd give it to Lindsey and Derek. Because engaged, college people need it more than us...
Would you believe that on Sunday, I won! So, Lindsey gave me a date and I gave her one! Tell me that is not an accident! And while I'm on the topic, I can't begin to tell our blessings since we have been faithfully tithing from EVERY windfall, paycheck etc... God is so faithful!
