Here is the one and only picture we got from the couple's retreat. We had thought about going on the men's and women's retreats with our church, but when we heard they had one for couple's...We left for Venture on Friday and came home on Sunday. Behind us there is the pier, and the restaurant is Eric Erickson's. On our way out on Sunday we went to the harbor to Andria's. This is a really good little fish and chips place...very popular. It's the type of place where you wait in line to order and they call out your number...I guess that sounds like fast food, but it didn't seem like that. It was very good.
We learned a lot at the retreat and had a blast. The speaker was pastor Philip DeCourcey, the former pastor of PBC. He talked about the roles we have as husband and wife, the importance of communication, and things to watch for that can break it down, and many other very helpful subjects. Peter and I were volunteered for a game called the shoe game. The couples sit back to back and swap a shoe so you each have one of your shoes and one of you spouses shoes in each hand. Then they ask questions and you have to guess how your spouse will respond. "who is the better driver" for example. You hold up the shoe of the person you think is the better driver and hope they agree. It was a blast! We actually got pretty far being newlyweds. We had a great time all weekend and met several new people. It was great to be back in church the following Sunday and see many of the couples we met at the retreat.
