dinner for six

at church we've been paired up with other couples in order to get to know each other better. we take turns having each over for dinner one saturday every month for three months (so we each host the group in our house once). i was in charge of getting everything together and assigning groups and it sounds like the groups are enjoying it. last night was our second dinner for six. we went to john and jennifer's house with brad and nicole. they had made homemade pizza dough and sauce and they had lots of ingredients at our disposal for usto make our own pizza. it was a lot of fun and a great idea. we then sat around and watched the end of the notre dame game while enjoying our yummie pizza. we even got to take the leftovers home with us. for dessert we had hot brownies out of the over with ice cream. it couldn't have been better. each time we get together we learn more about each other and we are all looking forward to hanging out more in the future, even when dinner for six is over. i'm glad to have such a great group who cares enough to invest in each other and fellowship with other believers instead of just showing up on sundays like some.

and just incase you're not with it...notre dame won...so that means we had a happy household! go irish!!! here's a picture of our irish supporting family!

The food you guys had sounds amazing-I could use a hot brownie w/ice cream tonight :)

So I joined-can you see my page? I did the whole email thing-but since I have you as a friend, or I'm following your page-whatever that means-I didn't know if that meant you could see my page automatically. Change is hard :) ha-hope you had a great night tonight!!

that dinner for 6 thing sounds awesome! that's such a good idea. we actually decided to stick with nappanee missionary. we found a sunday school class we like right now, so that's good. i don't know for sure what i'm going to do when a.j. leaves. the thought of going to church by myself doesn't sound too appealing. i love that picture of you guys! you are such a cute little family! when are you having another baby? :)

I almost could not comment on your post because I had to look at the picture of you all in your ND shirts. YUCK! But I still accept you even if you make poor choices in football teams! :)
