Out of Town Again and Again

We have had 2 fun, relaxing, busy, out of town weekends these past 2 weekends.

Weekend #1

We went to Emporia, KS so Matt could attend a men's conference at our aunt and uncle's church.  The theme of the weekend was Iron Men and the theme verse was Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."  As Matt attended the conference I helped the other women with registration, meals, and whatever they needed me to do.  I worked pretty faithfully except for the hour or so that my cousin Shanelle and I snuck out and got pedicures. :) Hehe.  I didn't get to hear many of the speakers, but Matt gave me a good rundown of them.  Maybe I'll have him get on here and share what God taught him.

Big thanks to Shanelle and Dan for keeping us Friday night and my Uncle John and Aunt Maria for keeping us Saturday night.  I am so thankful to have some of my family so close to me.  I never thought I would end up living by my Wernli family, but now that I do I love it!

Weekend #2

This past weekend I had a seminar in Kansas City for work on Saturday.  Matt and I headed to KC on Friday afternoon to do some wedding ring shopping and returns.  I found the ring that I really like!  The problem though is that we are not really comfortable buying it from the place we found it.  Matt's brother Troy took him to the store he bought his wife Amity's ring and they are putting something together for us.  Matt was thrilled with our shopping afternoon on Friday because we actually left gaining money by our returns instead of me spending it! :)  After a fun afternoon together we then headed to Troy and Amity's house where we spent the rest of our weekend.  While I went to my work seminar on Saturday Matt hung out with Troy and his family.  We then had a relaxing evening of good conversation, basketball (poor KU), and lounging.  We then enjoyed Sunday church and lunch with them before heading back to Sabetha to catch the superbowl.  

Big thanks to Troy and Amity, our beautiful little nieces, and grinny Rylen for making this past weekend special.  We love the open, honest relationship that we are building with you guys.  You guys are good marriage counselors for us......hehe. :D
