Days in Nebraska
Can someone tell me why whenever I visit Nebraska it is freezing cold?
Despite the cold, it was a great two days away with my wife. Bethany and I drove to Henderson, Nebraska on Sunday to set up for a book table at Bethesda Mennonite Church. Faith & Life Bookstore, where Bethany is manager, has hosted a book table at this church for many years. This was our second year to go. I enjoy getting to see Bethany in action as a manager. She has great ideas and does a great job helping customers.
It was also a great treat to get away without the kids. We are so thankful to have parents who help so graciously watch our kids when we are away. We spent most of each day at the book table just reading and talking. It was fun just to be together. Then each evening we were able to go out and eat and have conversation without interruption (except for the loud group sitting next to us at Applebee's). It was fun to get away from the routine and relax. An extra bonus was being together on my birthday. These trips are great ways to strengthen our marriage and refresh us to parent our kids.
So, when are you planning your next date night or overnight together? It will be worth it!
