Yesterday (Friday, the 12th) we were meeting up with 2 other families from church to go see an indoor soccer game that one of their sons was playing in. Both Liam and Jonas love and look up to this boy Caleb so much. We also thought it would be a good way to see if it was something we might want to sign our boys up for. The game was great even though they didn't win. Jonas was especially cheering Caleb on (mostly because he wanted Caleb to look at him). After the game we were going back to the Fisher's house to order pizza and hang out. The guys were all acting suspicious but we couldn't get any information out of them. Nate and one of the other guys went to get the pizza while the rest of us stayed there with all of the kids.
20 minutes later 3 pizzas (not the 7 we agreed on) were delivered to the house and the one guy left instructed us to get in the car. (Don't worry, one of the sons is 14 so the little ones were left with him). Of course all of us ladies were giddy about what might be happening. He drove us to a park that is next to a lake nearby and made us close our eyes and hold hands while he walked us to our destination. He sat us down and finally let us open our eyes. We were sitting at a picnic table all set up for dinner with a nice red table cloth and sparkle lights across the center. They had hung red hearts in the tree nearby and served us barbecue pork, fried rice and sparkling apple and grape cider. After dinner the guys cleaned up and we went for a walk around the lake holding hands (not all of us together, just the couples :) ). It was such a sweet surprise and made us all feel so loved! We couldn't get many details from them about how they pulled it off but it seems they had been planning it for weeks. And just earlier this week when we got some ads in the mail with Valentines candy Nate said, "oh man, I haven't gotten you anything yet". Sneaky boy!
I am so grateful for Nate and that he still finds ways to surprise me and show me that he loves me even after 8 years of marriage. I love you Nate!

Hehe, that's SO fun! (Hey, 3 hours after you posted isn't so bad, huh?) I'm so glad they did that for you all. And cute and creative. ;)
I was half expecting the whole time for you to say that you found out what you were having. So when I saw that you posted something I tried not to read much of it in my dashboard, and rushed straight to your blog. I was all excited to find out (b/c I can't remember when you do find out), but this was great too!! Good job Nate!
What a special night Vanessa!!
