Saturday night was our date night this last week!
 |
| Aris, me, Hadar, and Jonathan |
 |
| Kristen, Carol, John, Hadar (head), Christy, me, and Jonathan |
We sat and dined with Kristen from Imagination Nook and John & Carol from The Teacher Team. Carol and I have been getting to know each other better online since we both share our TpT store with our hubbies. She works in the same school district as my hubby. We loved getting to talk in person.
 |
| Jonathan & John |
My hubby liked having another secondary teacher guy and to talk with.
 |
| Peggy, Pauline, & me |
I had a great conversation about why we do what we do with Peggy Means from Primary Flourish & Pauline Pretz from First Grade by the Sea. They have hearts for the Lord and radiate peace and joy.
Kristen Walker of Easy Teaching Tools made a cookie for everyone with her card attached. That was a delicious take home to help us remember her. We love cookies. (This is foreshadowing for our next Rafflecopter coming up . . . if I bluntly hint in a parenthetical thought is it still foreshadowing? Anyway, lovers of cookies, stay tuned.)
Kristen, from The Imagination Nook, and I really hit it off great. This was our first time meeting. I wish I would have seen her 7 Days of Creation Book before we met. It would have brought up even more topics of discussion that we have in common. We didn’t even realize it. 🙂

It really was fun.

The location, Sandy’s Restaurant, was perfect for an end of summer bash. It’s right along the boardwalk next to the Huntington Beach pier.
After this lovely dinner we headed over to see The Giver movie.
We love this book and all the deep themes that it addresses. Jonathan has taught this novel for quite a few years. His teaching unit is our best-selling item in our store.
I must say, I enjoyed the book better than the movie. The best part of the movie were the film clip montages (memories) that evoked lots of emotions in me as a viewer, as is fitting with the story.
It was a great date night!
