Instead of our usual meeting place, Ryan and I decided to change it up a little in January.  We treated the ladies to dinner at Cafe 501 in Edmond.  So, in addition to wonderful friends and conversation, we also enjoyed some wonderful food!  Our night out coincided with subzero temps in the OKC.  This actually worked to our advantage because the restaurant was virtually deserted.  We had the place to ourselves and spent nearly two hours visiting and eating.  Two of our little ones also joined us for dinner.

As a late Christmas gift, we gave the ladies one of my favorite reads from last year "When God Weeps" by Joni Erickson Tada.  This is a must read for anyone who has experienced tragedy and heartache.  We missed all those who couldn't join us. It is so encouraging to spend time with such an amazing group of women and children!  Ryan and I are really looking forward to this year and the opportunity to serve and encourage!
