Weekend to Remember - An Experience You'll Never Forget

Give your marriage a tune up!

Let us tell you all about Weekend to Remember! We've been twice- the first time was in 2005, two months after we divorced on our 14th wedding anniversary... God placed that conference in our path to give us the tools to tear down the walls of isolation we'd unknowingly built in our marriage. He used that conference to restore our relationship, our marriage and our lives.

We made a commitment to go to the conference every year or so and attended again in 2007. God's Word is alive, and we came away learning so much more about how God designed marriage, how He created us for each other and how He uses what we perceive as weaknesses to strengthen each other and grow in Him.

The Weekend to Remember is a great multipurpose tool- it is a how to be married guide for engaged and newly married couples, a restoration tool for broken marriages, a maintenance tool for great marriages and a springboard to the next level for good marriages. The presenters are so human, so easy to relate to, so easy to listen to and learn from.

After we attended the conference last fall, God pressed on our hearts to volunteer for FamilyLife, so we are working at the Raleigh weekend this year. Scott is a group coach and I'm on the prayer team. We'll be there at the conference, serving in whatever way God needs us to serve.

Life is good with the porch roof all one color :)

This is our house in May 2006 before we bought it.


This is our house on April 15, 2008.

And here is our house this morning, May 18, 2008. We spent yesterday morning applying primer to the porch roof, then the afternoon painting it red. We've spent hours afterwork and Saturdays painting the column bases and eaves. We still have lots more scraping/caulking/painting to do on the exterior- the porch ceiling, the columns and the eaves, but we're chipping away a little at a time. It feels good to have the porch roof all one color, we praise and thank God for all He's doing in our lives, for the affirmation we receive along the way, and that we get to do all of this together!!


AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD! :) WE HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GREAT TIME IN ARIZONA!! WE LOVE YOU!!

Honor Roll!



Lookie there, Steven made the honor roll! I'm guessing he made it the first two grading periods also, but the school doesn't tell you and I don't think they sent it to the papers before now. Did we mention that an A here in NC is 93-100 and a B is 85-92? Yeah, a little different than in CT. He's working hard and doing well, though. :) God is so good!

Grace & Glory!


It rained pretty hard yesterday afternoon and we didn't even think about it when we let the dogs out for a little bit at dinner time. They had quite a mud hole going by the time we realized we heard splashing and wallowing!
They were pretty darn muddy piggy puppies! But they were so happy, until we gave them both a bath. :) Now they are clean puppies again. And we praise God for them and the laughs they give us!
