Love & Respect

This weekend Garrett and I had the privilege of going down to Chino Hills to see the Love & Respect Conference by Emerson Eggerichs. It was an awesome weekend and we learned a lot about each other. Emerson has a great talent for being able to portray both the man and the woman in a marriage and the very real differences there are. I would suggest that everyone, Christian or not, read his book. It really opened my eyes to how Garrett and I can treat each other, and he portrayed it all in a very comical but educational way. I’m excited to take what I have learned and use it! It was also such an encouragement to see the 2000 people that attended. It’s great to be in a place with others who long to fight against the ever increasing divorce rates. My prayers are that at least one marriage was saved by that weekend…it would make the entire thing worth it :)

I’m really excited for this weekend. We are going to Pismo with some of our friends for a few days, and get to visit with Alyssa (Garrett’s sister) for a little while too. It’s our first annual friends trip and I’m excited to see how it works out! Hopefully it will be the begininning of many more to come.

While we are down there, Britt and I are going to take a stab at doing some maternity pics of our beautiful pregnant friends, Becky and Tiffany. I’m really excited to post some pictures from that!  We also are hoping to take some practice pictures of Alyssa too, if we can steal her away for a few hours down in SLO. Hopefully by Sunday night I’ll have some more pictures to post! So excited!
