Team KoalaBunny's Adventures

We've been so blessed to have an older married couple who were willing to mentor us and we definitely needed their help. About a month after marriage our conflicts were escalating and we were trying to figure out how to get two very different individuals to become one.

A great suggestion and sound advice they gave us was to do regular date nights whether that's weekly or monthly. From the secular to the religious websites there seems to be a consensus that date nights are really important:

Our first attempt at doing this was somewhat of a disaster since it was Fourth of July weekend so a lot of places were closed, including the mini-golf course we wanted to go to. But not all was lost, we stumbled upon a very small county fair where we had funnel cake and made some great memories on the way back when we ran into some fireworks.

Our second attempt was great going to the biggest park in the city:



Here we are resting and taking a selfie. We may or may not have forgotten to bring Brown and Cony along with us, but we got them in there with stickers.
