Lessons Learned

This weekend was definitely an educational one. Jimmy and I attended the first 2 out of our 4 marriage classes this weekend. I was actually dreading this, because I had heard it was just going to be couples talking about their experience being married... yadda yadda yadda. I wasn't expecting it to be fun at all.

But surprising enough, it was fun! Our class size is pretty big (there are at least 30 couples in the class), and our instructor is a hoot! He really makes the class fun! So sitting there for 3 hours at a time isn't painful :) But we are learning a lot though, and it brings up certain issues that Jimmy and I have never talked about before. So it got us thinking, and talking. I'm really glad we're taking these classes.. gives us a chance to work out some stuff before we get hitched! But there is still no doubt in my mind that I want to spend the rest of my life w/ this man :)

Even though I was pretty busy w/ the classes, I managed to squeeze in some baking time :) I recently got my "What's Cooking" magazine from Kraft (they send 4 per year) and it contains many yummy recipes. Kathy came home this weekend, flipped through it and convinced me to make a Toblerone Chocolate Cheese Cake. It was SOO yummy... and it turned out really well!! Here's a picture of it (half eaten.. because it was so good! haha):









Jimmy and I also managed to squeeze in some time to check out the progress of our house. Last weekend we didn't see any major changes, however, they had a pile of wood beside our lot:









So I got all exciting, thinking they would have something raised by this weekend. To my disappointment, they did not. But, they covered up our basement, and our neighbour has their first floor put up, so I hope this means ours will be up by next week! I'm so excitied!
