We went to this marriage conference this weekend called "Weekend to Remember" put on by Family Life (aka Campus Crusade for Christ). We have been looking forward to it for months (quite literally, it was a wedding present from some friends).
To be totally honest, it wasn't what we were expecting and there were some kind of awkward moments during the whole thing, for example and hour long presentation of the 4 spiritual laws and a story about men and women being Jesus and the Father... we don't know what happened to the Holy Spirit in the whole thing or how a single person could even go on with life after that little story - but anyways, I will move on. We did however have some very fruitful conversations between the two of us that I'm sure we will continue to explore for months to come. Thus, the weekend was in no way a waste - it just didn't meet our expectations because it wasn't what we were expecting.
On another note, we kind of forgot to take pictures but here's a few.
We stayed at the Marriott in Del Mar:
On saturday we went and got sushi in PB here we are as we were driving there (Sarah holding the manual she had all weekend to fill in the blanks, Adam didn't use his, he hates fill in the blanks, He constantly struggling with listening for the word that goes in the blank rather than actually listening to what the person is saying; He used to get an already filled in sheet from Monty for our SV staff meetings)
And here is where we has 6:30 reservations on Saturday for dinner but either the above mentioned sushi or the not previously mentioned room service breakfast got to Sarah's stomach and we did not end up going to dinner.
We instead enjoyed a nice dinner of soup and crackers from Vons (for Sarah) and a Subway sandwich with extra pickles (for Adam). We were both really tired (tired being the key word here) and started arguing over the homework we had from the conference and you know how it is when you are tired - we should have just shut our mouths and gone to sleep. Anyways, like I said earlier, we did have many conversations that will lead to many future conversations, so all is well.
