its been so long!

Alright so its been forever and I havent had any time or ideas this year but Jamie and Rebecca had a great idea for a couples night and I loooove it!!
There is free kayaking on whiskytown at night on a full moon every month. Wouldnt it be awesome to paddle around the lake with your person on a full moon?!
Brilliant.
So Im hoping that I have the next full moon week/weekend off and we can have a couples night.
Further information to follow as we get a little closer to our next full moon.
I hope you guys are all doing great in your relationships and I want to leave you with this cool marriage thought from my favorite marriage authors the Parrotts.
For reflection:
As you survey the landscape of your marriage, what kinds of attitudes do you see? If you are like most couples, you could probably use an attitiude tune-up. If so, what single attitiudes do you need to change the most? Switch your mindset to look for the positive, What positive things have you reently been overlooking in your relationship?
that is from an awesome book that changed my life. hope it envokes thought. Cant wait to see you on the lake!

Febuary Couples Night

Alright, so we are moving in to a fixer-upper in redding. This is taking up all of our free time since I work every other weekend. I really have little creative energy to think of a great couples night for the next few months. I want to include every one that wants to be a part of it so I need something nonathletic, fun, and cheap. Any ideas? I cant wait untill this house is done so we can invite you guys over for dinners and game nights and all that cool stuff. Right now its just such an in-between time. I hope every one is doing great and feel free to post to this blog with any ideas or thoughts. If any one needs to talk about couples stuff or wants to get involved in marriage mentors on the mentee end of it, let me know or check out the stirring web page it has information.
Aaaaand-i would love it if everyone posted their Valentines day plans so we can all get a little romantic advice. Im still thinking... I will post when I get a good idea.

cool couples book of the month: How to get your husband to talk to you. By:Nancy Cobb and Connie Grigsby Short chapters on the comunicative differences between husbands and wifes. Really interesting and easy read. I got mine from christianbooks.com but you can get in on half.com used for really cheap!
Enjoy.
