Save the Date Challenge

I am so glad that our church created the Save the Date challenge! The challenge? Date your spouse by going on at least 3 dates a month {one a week} for a year. Mike and I have enjoyed staying committed to date nights throughout our marriage, but this forced us to be even more intentional about it this year. And since we were preparing for babies, we wanted to be sure we set aside some time to enjoy our time together as a couple before we became a family of four!

I thought it would be fun to look back over the dates we had in 2016. I enjoyed coming up with fun, new ideas, even when we had to get creative with home dates toward the end of the year :)
