We had a good time this weekend and really enjoyed the conference. There was so much information and fun packed into this one weekend it is almost too much to share. If you ever get to attend one, make sure you pack tissues..if your anything like me you will end up crying before the weekend is over. Not sad tears, happy, joyful tears. It is a weekend to share, grown and learn more about each other and your marriage. The main thing is if God is not at the center of your marriage and family well there is a problem. We are thankful to have the Lord in our marriage and family, that does not mean there will not be rough times, just that with the Lords help you can make it through them. At the end of the conference...the couples renew their marriage vows (well it is a short version) and that is very powerful.
There was a couple there that had only been married 20 days. Then the oldest married could there had been married 49 years and 8 months. That is an amazing testimony that they still are working on their marriage. I hope the Lord will allow us that many years and then some.
Allen and I are looking forward to future weekends to remember (on our own) and date nights.
This was a picture of a card I had made him for our date night. They recommended a gift to your spouse or something special and so we did exchange gifts on Saturday night. I bought him a note pad (Post-it Notes) for his office, he loves post -it notes (actually we both do) and some coffee. Allen added to my collection of Willow Tree, I have the couple that is "Promise".
