Get Away!

Ok, don't literally get away from me. That's what Justin and I did this past weekend and it was such a fun and blessed time for both of us.  When we first got engaged we began going to a class at our church called, "Nearly Newlywed". If you are in the Houston area and get engaged or are newly married I highly suggest going to this class. God has worked in and through so many new marriages because of it. Anyways-one of the sessions they talked about getting away one weekend every year (which obviously you could do more :) ) But to have this one set aside for planning the year out, praying over your marriage etc. 


So we packed up and headed to a bed and breakfast in Brenham, TX. It was perfect.We started out by praying over the wknd, for focus and wisdom. Some of you might be asking, "what kind of goals did y'all talk about for an entire day!?" Here are some examples of ours....financial, serving, spiritual goals as a couple...these are just a few. We ended up a lot more of that. We also planned our year out..in pencil of course...so that we were on the same page with what the year holds. We also gave ourselves a "relationship diagnosis" where we talked about how we were doing, how we can encourage and help each other out more etc. After all of that, we had some good food, furniture shopping...dreaming ha and driving out in the country listening to some Jesus music. All in all-it was exactly what we needed and we were so thankful we did. Thanks to our friend Cori and Trent who did a couple weeks before and reminded us about it! If you are married, I highly suggest doing this!  


Um so on a very unrelated note...Houston is retarded when it comes to them thinking it is going to snow..I mean holy pete the whole city shut down before it even did anything! I am definitely not bitter about it causing me to not be able to go home either :) Don't worry...I am praying about this :)


Praying everyone has a blessed snow or non-snow day because they thought it was going to snow...day :)
