…Amazing friends that have acquired sainthood status because of their generous offering to swap their hotel room in town for one night with our digs AND pay for the room AND watch our girls so J and I could have an afternoon AND night in town on a date!!! Seriously, Scott & Emily; you are both rockstars! Last week I had a hot date…..

then we wandered around town and enjoyed some thinking & praying time…..

we walked to dinner in the dark and enjoyed “mock-tails” made with fresh mint, pineapple and mango juice by candle light

Then we snuggled, slept in, and had coffee in town. Reading His word, talking together, drinking an iced vanilla latte…. a peaceful morning. We are thankful. It rocked!
Sounds like a lovely way to celebrate an anniversary even if it was a tad early!
Oh I am so so very glad for you!!!
roxi- dude i'm so pumped for you- what a huge blessing girlfriend! and LOVE the smores- so great! we didn't have july 4th fireworks in tx either- too dry they were afraid of fires.
