We Were 16 Going on 17

We just celebrated our 17th anniversary! Wow, it's hard to believe when, in many ways, it seems like just yesterday, well, at least last month. =O) A couple of our good friends stayed at our house with the kids so that we could attend a Weekend to Remember marriage conference in Philly. On top of that, they freed us to stay an extra day! Wow! If you've ever had toddlers, you understand the HUGE blessing of having time away. Don't get me wrong--we love our children, but our relationship needed some TLC...and we got it.

Some highlights... Renewed our wedding vows! Had a fondu dinner out on our anniversary night. Received some strong encouragement and renewed vision for our marriage and family. Got some new books and resources. Did some Christmas shopping. Spent some extended, relaxed time together. We communicated! We got to know each other again!!!
