"Engaged Encounter"

Jeff and I spent a large part of our weekend at our marriage prep. classes in Eagan. Our minister suggested we attend the "Engaged Encounter" so we followed her suggestion and had a great time. There were approximately fifteen other couples and the two couples who led the gathering. We arrived at 7:30 PM on Friday night and left at 9:30 PM on Saturday. Needless to say it was quite intense! We were both emotionally drained after that event! The instructors would give us 2 or 3 questions then we would spend time in "PR" a.k.a. Private Reflection then we met up for "CD" or Couple Dialogue to share what we had written about the topic at hand. It was a great chance to really think about the topics and get to know your partner even better! Our favorite part was doing small group with four other couples where we discussed the questions in the group setting. We found out how very normal we are--what a relief ;-D The funniest thing about the whole session was that before we broke out into "PR" we would have to sing a song...a country love song at that! Needless to say one more than one occasion Jeff as staring me down as I giggled through the song! I didn't hear him singing though so I don't know why he was giving me the eye! All in all we had a great time. The best news of all is that we only have ten more days of work until vacation!!! Oh and Kristian arrived safe & sound on Monday and he looks great! It's so good to have him here!! Katy will arrive on Saturday--can't wait to see her!
