My Special Valentine!

We are trying to save money everywhere in our budget (gotta pay for that new van, and etc.). So this year we decided not to give each other anything for Valentine's Day. The only thing we did to "celebrate" was to go to the Valentine's banquet at our church Friday night and a mini-conference the next day on the "Basics to a Great Marriage" with Dr. Stuart Scott. He was entertaining and encouraging. One point he made: embrace and cherish your differences, for these are some of the reasons why you love your spouse. We are all uniquely made by God, and compatibility is overrated. Amen!!

The fellowship at the table Friday night was a blast! We got to sit with Paul and Cheryl D. They just won the WCIC radio contest for a "Weekend to Remember" trip. It was a remarkable come from behind victory! Also at our table was Terry and Karye S., which we just found out are friends with our next door neighbors ~ SMALL world!

Later this year, Brian and I celebrate 15 years of marriage. Woohoo! Our church does something wonderful by offering marriage checkups for those "special" years (5th, 10th, 15th, and so on). We have scheduled ours next week. Brian has taken the day off, and we are making it a date all day long. Kinda like another Valentine's Day! Check the blog later next week for the details!

After Valentine's weekend, Brian has come down with a stomach illness. My funny valentine is recovering, but he is not 100% yet. I'm praying I won't come down with it!

Aren't we adorable??!!! Well, he is anyway!


Love and blessings,
Kendra
