Well..since it is Halloween.... This is Dave and one of his old roommates, Brenton - at an 80's party! I couldn't find the picture of me & Dave.
Everyone decided Dave looked like A.C. Slater..... I'm not sure what Brenton was supposed to be..."washed up"?
I'll have to dig up the other picture... everyone thought I looked like I belonged on "Kids Incorporated." Anyone remember that show? It was on the Disney channel. Anyway - we have loads of candy to pass out tonight ---- it's a nice evening in Michigan, so I'm sure they will be out in herds.
We had an amazing weekend at the Family Life conference, "A Weekend to Remember." We highly recommend it to any married couple, young or old! It's so great to take time out from everything else going on in your life, and focus on your marriage for a weekend.
The main theme that we will take with us is having "oneness" - it involves complete unity in every aspect of your marriage. Another theme of the weekend was, "leave, cleave, and become one flesh." Do you know what cleave means? One of the speakers said it is to be "stuck like glue" to one another. It is establishing a life-long commitment to each other.
I could go on and on about the many things that we learned, and will take with us into our everyday lives... but, you should just attend yourself! :) This conference is for couples that have a great marriage, an okay marriage, or a marriage on the rocks....ie - it's for EVERYONE!

Saturday night was date night! We decided to go see the movie "Fireproof" - it was awesome!! Here is a little trailer for it, you can decide if you'd like to go see it with your husband/boyfriend/friend ---just click on "watch the trailer":
This is Grandma & Grandpa Harder! Last year for Christmas they gave each of their married grandchildren a "Weekend To Remember." It is a marriage conference put on by Family Life -- we will be attending this weekend! We are really looking forward to it.
They also attended one of these conferences and won the award for the longest married couple in attendance! They are a shining example to all of us, to put Christ first in our marriage.
