There Is Hope....

This post is for all you moms of infants, preschoolers, and school-aged munchkins...there is hope. One of the best things about parenting two teenagers, is that they like to do their own thing. Friday nights usually mean that our children have something they want to do...ballgames, parties, friends...anything but hang out with mom & dad. This used to make me so sad, but lately, I've learned to embrace this time and see it for the blessing it is. Last night, Mallorye was babysitting at the Beasley's and Blake had a slumber party at one of his friends....so we had our Friday Night Date Night...which has become a pretty standard thing on Friday Nights.

Pay no attention to the double chin, tshirts, and lack of make up....this was a comfy date...

...and really what says comfy date like Zaxby's Chicken???

dinner and a movie....we seen the new movie "The River Within"...which was written, produced, & directed by one of Paragoulds own...Zac Heath...and most of the movie was actually shot on location in Paragould...pretty cool if you ask me. It really is a great movie about finding the inner source of Christ...if you get a chance to see this movie...do it...very wholesome, Christian entertainment with a great meaning.

After the movie, where yes, I did consume an entire tub of buttered popcorn, we headed home...in bed by 10pm....wow! Is that a sign of our age?? So yeah, you'll make it to the teen years when weekly dates aren't such a struggle...and you'll be so exhausted that you'll think dinner & a movie is the most awesome date you've ever had..because you can be in bed by 10pm.
