marriage conference

This weekend lance and i headed to san antonio for a marriage conference hosted by Family Life Ministry and some much needed R and R.

There were three major bonuses!
#1 TIME TOGETHER:

which included good marriage reminders.

#2 The Hotel:

it was BEAUTIFUL.... we didn't feel like we were in texas!
they had the whole place decorated for christmas (which is early for this family, but still so pretty).

#3 Dates:
the most glorious part of this picture is that there is no one sitting on the other side of the table! ;) we went to Casa Rio on the river walk... so fun!

then had some wax museum fun

and dessert at a jazz bar... so yummy!

oh, and ended the evening with a talk by the warm fire.we added to the trip by stopping by the Grist Mill in Gruene, Tx for lunch and antique browsing on the way home.

check out their onion rings.... so good!

the statistics for divorce are staggering and so very sad. our marriage is not perfect by any means, but i think i will start to share some little nuggets of truth that we are learning along the way to help anyone that might be reading this! starting with this thought...

every marriage is either moving toward oneness or drifting toward isolation. what are you doing today to make sure you are headed toward oneness??
