The Choice Wine

Brian and I just finished a course at St. Rose called The Choice Wine.  It consisted of weekly presentations with discussions and concluded with a renewal of our wedding vows.  We enjoyed it a lot and agreed with 99% of the couples that renewing our wedding vows had a deeper or at least different feel after many years of marriage. And when you add children into the mix, it becomes even more special.  The seven topics discussed are listed below.

1) Honor your wedding Vows
2) Use money for others
3) Give God some of your time
4) Set your mind on the things above
5) Find God in yourself
6) Find God in other people
7) Make it easy to be good and hard to be bad


We met a bunch of great couples and are excited we had the opportunity to attend.


Switching gears, the kids just had their field day and water day at their schools.  They had been counting down to Friday, May 13th for a while and were thrilled when the day finally arrived.

I volunteered with Catherine's class for 3 hours and was EXHAUSTED when it was done.  I continue to have the utmost respect for elementary school teachers.  As my mother always tells me, everyone has their own unique skills.  The skill set required to be an effective, loving, caring, and patient teacher is not necessarily one that everybody possess.  I am grateful for the teaching staff that both of my kids have had this  year.
