We spent this past weekend in Sacramento at a marriage seminar called Weekend to Remember. What an awesome experience that I would recommend to every married or engaged couple. Your relationship can benefit from this, even if it is not troubled.
I haven't blogged in a very long time. It wasn't that I lost interest, it was that I haven't had time. I haven't even had the time to peek at anyone else's thoughts on thier blogs. One thing that I really took away from this weekend is that I need to make the time for my God, my husband, and my kids. I find that even though I don't have a job to go to everyday, I manage to stay very busy all day long. By making my family the priority my house may not be as clean, I may not be able to help others as much, and I may not be able to take on so many projects. But I guess I've realized (FINALLY) that's OK!! What other's think about my performance doesn't matter. What matters is that I have a great relationship with Jesus and that I have a great relationship with my husband and kids. Those things need to come first and not when I have the time. I don't need to wear myself out with other things so that I am short and grouchy to those I live with.
I just want you all to know that I have missed reading your thoughts and sharing mine. I'm going to put the blogging higher on my list too. I love you all!!

We had a blast with you and Dale! This weekend was incredible, and I think we all walked away having learned something. And I'm so stoked we all got to grow a little more together.
I agree with you. This Weekend to Remember should be mandatory for any married couple. I wish we had done it sooner.
By the way...my wife rocks!! I just had to say that.
I agree with you..Your wife is the best!! We were so happy that we were able to share that weekend with you and Begona too!! Remember we're doing it again next year.
Steve and I did this conference a few years ago and it was great. We learned so much and had a fun weekend away from the kids!
Your insights are so right on Diane. Don't make the same mistakes I did by juggling too many balls. It is an easy trap to fall into. Let the LORD only, tell you what things to commit to. Do not let people pressure you into taking on more than you should. It looks like you have got your priorites straight and you will not regret it!!!
It was great to see a new blog from you! Hope to see you soon.
Glad you guys had an awesome weekend. I too can relate with being "busy" and then snapping at those around me. This was a great post and reminder for me that I only have an audience of one who matters the most and when I focus on Him, everything else comes into place in the Perfect priority. Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys. We really need to get together more often. You guys rock!
