Last night Nate and I joined the rest of our bible study to serve at Boxes of Love in downtown Minneapolis (HLIC). If you have not heard of Boxes of Love, it's a Christian run service project which involves boxing up food in order to provide food for the homeless/needy for the holidays. The goal for us last night was to complete 500 boxes in an hour; but with our group's dedication and determination, plus having a lot of people there, we were done in less than 30 minutes. We all were saying how we almost spent more time in the car, than serving. We really would have enjoyed packing up a few more since we were down there. It's always great to serve, but even more fun when you do it with friends.

Well, since we were done early and were childless for the evening, what did us adults do? We all went back to Tom and Jenny's for drinks, desserts, laughter and some game playing. Great way to end our night, that's for sure!
Special thanks to our group for stepping up and serving last night. We had a wonderful time and hope you did too. Also, to my mom for watching Elyse so Nate and I could get out and have some grown up fun.

This sounds like a PERFECT night out - helping with a good cause, and enjoying the company of good friends, too! Glad you were able to enjoy some extra adult time before baby boy arrives :0)
