We went to Love Worth Fighting For marriage event this afternoon. So awesome! So awesome! So awesome! Having had failed marriages in both of our pasts, Bobby and I know that we want this new marriage to not fall victim to any past mistakes or oversights. We treasure our relationship very very much but we don't want to be naive or arrogant to think that we won't need help or need to work at it. We were both abandoned by other spouses but we know that that doesn't necessarily mean that we weren't culpable. Therefore, throughout the event, we both had open ears and open hearts to what God was speaking to us. Kirk Cameron, the main speaker, was good but even better was the combination of him with Warren Barfield, Christian singer. It was a great teaming of two terrific speakers and communicators. I highly recommend this event to EVERYONE! Married and unmarried.

Prior to going to the marriage event, we went to church which was such a blessing. Preaching was great as well as the worship! Sommer, Jeremy, & Breckyn came which just added to the specialness of it. We ate lunch and then went to help Morgon and the college students set up for their ministry project which was a block party for a lower income neighborhood. Morgon has done such a wonderful job in her willingness to follow her Savior and her willingness to put her faith in action!
I am super psyched to have Anna come home in 4 days! More wedding planning but nothing major. Anna is such a low key daughter that this whole wedding has not been anything like I had heard from other mothers! No meltdowns, no bridezilla, no craziness. I truly love my daughter and how NON-high maintenance that she is. My good friend, Amy Mesneak, told me last week, "Elizabeth, you raised your kids to be hippies but hippies with a level head." Ha ha. I think this is an accurate observation!
