What a great day!

I'm so excited that we've been regularly attending church again. I know it's the same old story, I post that we're going somewhere and I like it and we go for awhile, and then we stop. Well, not this time. I really do feel more comfortable at this church than we have at any others we've visited. And, we've been regularly going...not just sporadically trying it every so often. We had tried church service for several weeks and then tried just Sunday School for a few weeks. I needed to feel comfortable leaving the kids in their classes for the entire time period, or else I wouldn't be able to concentrate and learn anything. Last week, the kids did so well that Rachel didn't want to leave after Sunday School. And, Bradley's teachers said he did really well with the boys in his 3-year old class and didn't even get upset when the teachers transitioned. (He's in the 3 year old class because there are only two 2-year olds at the church right now and their teacher has been ill. So, he's been going to the 3 year old class and doing great!!) So, today we stayed for both SS and church and it was awesome! I'm really enjoying our SS class...it's so laidback and fun and the teachers are great. All the couples in the class have been very friendly and welcoming and we don't even feel like visitors. Also, ironically, there are 3 other girls in the class who are having babies in April...can you believe it?? So, we definitely feel like we fit in! :) Our SS class is doing a great study called: "Fireproofing Your Marriage" and I love it. I always love to hear some ways to protect our marriage from the evils of the world. And, the series gets some great discussions going and also allows me and Nick to spend some time talking and praying about our marriage. We're really excited to be a part of a fellowship of believers. I've really missed it and we both want to raise our children in church. I always loved going to church and have fond memories of being in a church family. The kids did really well today too...both did well for the entire time period and I peeked in on Bradley in between SS and church and he was doing great. He was just sitting at the table with some other boys eating a snack. He looked like such a big boy. (Of course, he had his Bay, and I'm glad that Bay helps him get through potentially tough situations.) I just love my precious kids so much and HAVE to feel comfortable that they're okay in order to get anything out of being at church! Thank goodness, I think we're finally at that point!
