Good Afternoon, Happily Married People! (said in faith for some of you!)
As your cell leaders, we cannot stress enough how strongly we feel about married people dating! Life gets so busy with work, school, yard work, ministry commitments, extended family, and just LIFE! Dating your mate takes a conscious decision, careful planning, and sometimes throwing caution to the wind and being spontaneous!
To encourage you in your dating, we have decided to hold a monthly contest! Here's how it'll work:
1. You must have a date, just the two of you--NO CHILDREN, (with the exception of a nursing baby, of course)!
2. This date can be anything you want from traditional dinner and a movie to skydiving! We don't care as long as it's the two of you getting some one-on-one time! Even if all you have time for is a walk or a cup of coffee at the Corner Bakery, do it!
3. Enter on or before the first Friday of the month (which is when we have cell group). To enter, tell us the date of your date and what you did! It's that simple! You may enter in person at cell group, by email to Daja (mrsgombojav@yahoo.com) or Raquel sotorams@sbcglobal.net, or by leaving a comment on the blog with the information and your name.
4. A winner will be drawn at cell group. (Next drawing December 4)
Who is the winner of this little game? Why every one of us is a winner! Strong marriages benefit individuals, children, the Church, society, etc!
However, we do also have some cool prizes in our prize vault! :-) You'll be competing for all sorts of wonderful things--art, gift certificates, books, movies, music! Each month we'll offer a different prize.
This month's prize is a calendar called EDEN! (Isn't that a wonderful name?!) HRC member and artist, Jaqueline Kyoda has donated her one-of-a-kind calendar to our prize vault! Every month, looking at EDEN, you'll be reminded of the way marriage is supposed to be! (Below are a few images so you can see how beautiful this calendar is!) By the way, you can see more of Jaqueline's work on her website: http://www.jaquelinekyoda.com/
Ready? Set? DATE!!!

Hi Daja,
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving week was spent up in San Jose with my family and it was non-stop visiting with family and friends. But on Black Friday, the whole day was spent with each other. We had a nice breakfast at the hotel we were staying at, then went Christmas shopping for my family so we could leave the gifts up there when we left. Later that evening we met up with my grade school buddy and his family. Christmas shopping doesn't sound too romantic but we started it with a nice breakfast and spent time away from all of the festivities.
Blessings,
Robert and Kay Lee
Ok, our entry for this month's date was our vacation last week to Colorado for a ski vacation. We had a great time skiing and dog sledding. (see pictures on our Facebook) We ski'd during the day and hot tubbed at night! The afternoon after our dog sledding, we hung out at the spa and got massages, lunch, steam and jacuzzi. We got to get bundled up with hot chocolate and hang out in front of the fireplace! All in all, a romantic vacation if I do say so myself. - Robert and Kay Lee Fukui
