4th Great Date :)

Last night was our Fourth Great Date of ten. It was a chapter about "Becoming an Encourager" and was very good to read through. It had 3 different ways that we can encourage our spouses, as well as some suggestions for what isn't encouraging :) To put it simply, they suggest giving honest vocal praise, not forgetting the power of written praise and lastly to strive for a healthy sense of humor. Humor is a good way to remedy a stressful situation, maybe waiting at the airport for hours.... find something witty to say, and don't take yourself too seriously
Our date was great, we went and had a light dinner at Bob's Burger's and Brew's. Up here, that's a GREAT place to get a HUGE hamburger, so perhaps it wasn't so light after all :) I had Clam Chowder and a small side salad, but Jason's double decker burger with sauteed onions and mushrooms and bacon piled high with lettuce, and tomatoes was almost too much to watch. He was just enjoying that way too much! After dinner and discussing our chapter questions, we went to the park and took a walk along one of the nature trails :) Very romantic, I loved it! And on the way back up the trail we decided to race to the truck, and I kept up all the way till about 20 feet from the truck and then had to stop.... I think I ate too much! So, he won!! Little Stinker!! I'm still waiting to see what he cashes that win in for! So, I'm gonna leave it at that. I hope that next weeks date goes as well! And I want to go spend some time with him now ;).
