Lighthouse’s Couples Conference
So I will catch you up on this last week and then talk about the Couples Conference!
On Wednesday, I worked my normal scheduled hours and then went to get my allergy shots!  After that I headed back to the church to help get ready for the Beach Blast!  We had a lot of fun at the beach!  It was a little cool but not too windy so that was nice!  We enjoyed the fire, food and worship service!  
On Thursday, I also had a normal work schedule.  I then had volleyball practice and then James and I headed home and did some cleaning!  We also watched Facing the Giants and had a wonderful evening together just relaxing!  We also packed to go visit my parents on Friday night!
Friday, I once again worked a normal schedule and then ran home to pick up a few things we had forgotten at home! ¬†I then headed back to the school for the last Jr High Girls volleyball game! ¬†The girls played a great game! ¬†They won! ¬†The first game we won 25-16, The second game the other team won 25-22. ¬†But we won the last game 15-12 and the girls were so happy! ¬†I am very proud of them! ¬†They played a great season! ¬†James and I left straight from the gym and headed up to Pomona to attend Lighthouse’s Couples Conference! ¬†
The Couples Conference was wonderful! ¬†We got there at 6:30 and had a sit down dinner in the fellowship hall. ¬†The first session was at 7:05 so we had to eat somewhat quickly! ¬†The first session was split and the ladies were in the youth room with Mrs. Dunlop and the guys were in the auditorium with Pastor Dunlop! ¬†The ladies session was on learning to love your husband more and I really enjoyed what Mrs. Dunlop had to say! ¬†The next session was a combined session in the auditorium and Mr. Pryde taught this one! ¬†The title was “The Anatomy of a Kiss” ¬†It was very scientific and basically he talked about how you need to communicate and how you need to make your whole day about your spouse. ¬†I also really enjoyed the split session this morning by Mrs. Pryde! ¬†She talked about how Chocolate is a really nice thing to get and how it brightens her day, but if you become bitter about things in your marriage nothing, not even encouragement, will brighten your day! ¬†She gave a lot of signs of bitterness and told that only love and forgiveness will heal bitterness! ¬†I was really¬†encouraged! ¬†
Another thing that I really enjoyed was the discussion panel they did this year!  Last night they had everyone write down a question about marriage.  Then This morning they had Pastor and Mrs. Dunlop and Mr. and Mrs. Pryde answer as many as they could!  It was nice to hear the different questions and the answers that were given!  
All in all it was a great time of fellowship and learning how to become a better wife!  I am very glad that James and I went and that we have such Godly examples to follow.  
So my dad is also doing much better!  He was able to work 2 half days this week and was able to go to the whole conference!  He gets tired quickly but is doing okay!  Today he came home and went to his room to take a nap!  His blood pressure is still high but it is slowly coming down!  he said this morning that he was feeling better today then he has all week so that is encouraging!
