So...am I sold?

I think that I can speak for both Sean and I when I say that this last weekend was LIFECHANGING! I am not just saying that. It was absolutely what we needed in the midst of all this change going on in our marriage.

Without going into too many details, I can tell you that if you have the opportunity to go to a conference like the one that we just went to you will be changed. If money is an issue I think it is worth writing into the budget or evaluating where your money is going so that you can attend. I know that sounds awfully pushy...but we are different people. I feel uplifted as a wife and a mother. I feel like I have been equipped with tools to strengthen our marriage and ways to communicate better with Sean. And really the best thing about the weekend(it wasn't all easy by the way) was that we HAD to talk about issues and conflicts that we don't typically even think to talk about. We had questions to answer and letters to write to each other. I cried, I laughed(alot!) and I savored the moments that we were together.

I don't often think that we don't spend enough time together...but this weekend was eye-opening about my priority list and where my husband falls on that list. As a mom I find it very easy to get caught up in the daily routine of mothering...but what am I displaying to our children? Is it a Godly example of the attentiveness a wife should display to her husband? Maybe not.

So if you want information about the conference that we just went to you can go to www.familylife.com . There is another weekend seminar in two weeks that one of the same speakers that was at ours is going to be at. He was really hilarious! Worth seeing! I think it is at Indian Falls Resort in Bloomingdale or something like that.

Anyways...thank you to those who thought about us and prayed for us this weekend. And a HUGE thank you to my parents for watching the kids! I think my dad only wanted to sell one of them! LOL And a huge thank you to my mom for cleaning up Kierstin's "I took my diaper off during my nap" mess. Mommy would have been MAD!!!!

P.S.-The corned beef/cabbage/potatoes/corn/stuffing and Irish soda bread was fantastic! Honestly...Canadian meals are great! (In other words Canadians go way over board when they are expecting a group of people for a meal!)
