So as far as the other big part of our summer.. includes a small group at our church called " The Real Marriage. " I am not going into detail about anything because this is not the place. However I do want to keep you in the loop.. its a great study and we are only on week 1 but we are both looking forward to it. This is the first marriage study we have done together and the first one I have ever done period. We just felt led to participate. There was no if ands or buts about it. And for the reason that God has thrown so many obsticales at us. I feel like we have been through more the last 2 years than most couples have been. Between job losses, finances, sicknesses. surgeries.. we keep getting our hands dealt. And not good hands. But through it all, even though there have been times my faith has been shaken, we have stood together. We have tried to keep God the center and we know we have to if we are going to face everything head on. We are dealing with stuff now but we are still here. We still have the love for each other and I love him more every day. I knew this was a study for us and I am looking forward to diving deep in it with each other and learn. God is our teacher. We listen and learn from him. The 11 weeks ahead of us are going to be challenging at some times but also holding hands through it is what will keep us going. So that pretty much sums up what I guess Session 1 is about but I am not going to do this every week.. I just felt the need to share what I just did.. guess I had a reason to write after all.


So moving forward. I guess I have always had it in me to write. I kept diaries even when I was in grade school. ( I still have them.. but there location is MIA at the moment.. but I know there are floating somewhere.. ) Anyhow.. I found this journal while I was in Gatlinburg called " Memories : Our Family Journal " I didnt get it and I regreted it because then I could not find it. Finally after a lot of searches on Google, I finally found it. And the company makes so many different sorts of journals. Its pretty cool. And if I had it in front of me, I would tell you the company. But you know whats not gonna happen. So anyhow, I love it for the fact that every page is labeled with different things to write. Such as news, events. happenings, memories of the day, prayers and concerns.. and on the back is a whole page for family notes. And every page is the same. So I love that. And its just happened that I got it about a week before the Boston bombings and then the tornados that just hit.. so there has been a lot to write down. Not to mention the stuff that we have done as a family. I love it!!
So thats about it.. Im done sitting in this chair so I guess laundry and then the couch for a bit. Then going to go see my parents and hang out for a while. I hope you all are having a great day / week!
Until next time..
