Another day off

My, my, does it feel good to be at home!  Due to the flooding that occurred yesterday, I did not have to go to school yesterday OR today!!! :)  Unfortunately, I will probably have to make up the days by not having Memorial Day off.....boooooo!  Oh well!  

So, today my goals are: clean the kitchen, blog (almost one goal down), go for a run, watch my old soap, Days of Our Lives, laundry, and have dinner ready for Daniel when he gets home!

Okay, so now on to my weekend post....

This past weekend I had the pleasure to be a part of our Sunday school class' NWC (newlywed or close) retreat.  The retreat was held in Round Top, at the Round Top Retreat Center.  Let me just say, if you ever have the opportunity to attend a conference/retreat there- go!!  This place is awesome!!  The center is actually owned by Christians!  Anyway, the retreat was such a great time for Daniel and me to get away and relax and focus on our marriage.

We got there on Friday and quickly found our cute little room (very much like a B & B), with one down side, we had to share a bathroom with another couple.  You know, it wasn't that bad, though.  The couple next to us were very sweet, and it was nice to meet a new couple from our class.  Later that night we got hear our speakers for the weekend, Steve and Debbie Wilson from Marriage Matters Now.  Wow, what an amazing, godly, precious couple!!  Over the weekend, they told stories from their own lives that helped us understand problems in our marriage so much more.  They gave us six mosquitoes that will drain the life out of a marriage.

They are:  Busyness, Irritability, Thought Life, Drifting, Financial Debt, and Inability to Forgive

I can't speak them up enough!  They were just the cutest couple!  Married 31 years.  They have been in the ministry all of their marriage.  Just awesome!

The rest of the weekend was filled with naps, meeting new friends, coke floats, snacks, playing some good ol' Mafia, BBQ, learning a lot more about myself and as a couple, quiet time with the Lord, God restoring two friendships (Praise God), newlywed game, scavenger hunt with cameras, worship, and most of all, best of all, growing in the Lord as a couple and individually.

My camera died at the retreat so no pictures. :(

Well, I better get busy on those goals for today!  Tonight Daniel and I have a date night and we're seeing this..................
