Date night...

Last night, Viktor and I went on our first date since Emily was born. We left her in the care of our wonderful friends, the Bevils, and ventured out to church. No, this isn't a typical "date" as most of you are probably thinking, but we had a great time. We participated in an event sponsored by our church in partnership with Feed My Starving Children. There were about 700 other people there to help (we were one of many shifts this week) package food for starving children around the world. In about 1.5 hours time, our group managed to package enough meals to feed 461 children every day for an entire year. That is a A LOT of food! It was basically an assembly line-- one person opened the bag and put it in the funnel, then another person gave a scoop of chicken flavoring/vitamins, another gave a scoop of dehydrated vegetables, another gave a scoop of soy, and another gave a scoop of rice. Once the bag was complete it was weighed, sealed, and packaged to be shipped. It was such an amazing experience and we would highly recommend it to any of you looking for a creative date night idea. Of course, you have to find a local site to participate. Check them out and see if they'll be in your area!
