Renewing our Vows

Sorry everybody that I haven't updated my blog in awhile. Nothing really exciting has been happening. Until this weekend that is.
Our church has been doing a 3 week series on marriage and it ended this past weekend. On Sunday morning they showed the movie Fireproof . We didn't have Sunday School or a church service that morning just all of us watching the movie. We had seen it at the movie theatre; but it was just as impacting seeing it the second time! If any of you have not seen it I highly recommend all of you to get it and watch it!!!
That night 39 couples came together in front of the church to renew our vows! It was so pretty and special!!! We all dressed up in dresses and suits. A local florist offered to do small bouquets for the brides. They separated the men and women then put us in ABC order as couples. The men went to the center row in the church one at a time and met their wives and the couple was introduced. Then we walked down to the front of the church. Chris, our pastor, lead us in a very special ceremony where we repeated vows to each other and then exchanged rings all the couples at the same time. I got a new ring enhancer to go with my engagement ring!
After we got through my very sweet and special husband took me to eat in Athens at Logan's. The boys went to Brenda's house that afternoon so that they could go to Joey's birthday party. They spent the night with Brenda and Larry that night. So we got to have some special couple time by ourselves which we have not had in a long time. It was a perfect Valentine's weekend!!!

  1. It sounds like a very special and beautiful service. Your flowers were beautiful that you got at church. But the ones that Caleb picked you were more beautiful because they were covered in love from him.
