A true weekend to remember

Family life puts on A Weekend To Remember all over the world. A and I went before we were married and we were blessed by talking about true marital issues prior to marriage. However, A and I were sure that we would never have "issues" that they were talking about.
After we were married, reality set in! A and I found out we were expecting 3 short months after we were married. So in our 3 (almost) years of marriage we both finished school, moved 3 times, bought a house, started careers, had a baby, bought a car and lost a grandparent each. So A Weekend To Remember was a blessing to stop and reflect on us and the most important earthly relationship.
Highlights from the conference itself:
"before cities, governments or any type of authority God created family, so honor your role in the family."
And:
"my goal is to KNOW God and to make Him known"
If you ever have the opportunity to go, do. It will change your marriage, life and parenting. It will change you...for the better. I'm proof!

Happy Friday Eve!

Today was a typical day in third grade. We finished the communication arts portion of the MAP assessments. I am really proud of my mighty 13 for their hard work.

My dad isn't feeling so well and so my mom and I have been texting and calling all day to check on each other and offer support. We are nervous after the loss of my dear grandmother this past fall. Dad is fine, but we still panic whenever anyone feels a tad bit off.

I am looking forward to the weekend. First of all, because it's the weekend but also because A and I have plans to attend Weekend to Remember. We went to this marriage retreat during our engagement and have the opportunity to go again. We are looking forward to this blessing!

I must admit,i am nervous about leaving Sis for 2 nights. This will be the longest we have gone without each other. I know she will be blessed this weekend too with her loving H side spoiling her!
