Advice wanted, please.

Carl and I have been meeting with our Pastor at church for premarital counseling the past few Saturdays. Pastor Forsee has suggested a few books for us to read, including The Five Love Languages, by Gary Chapman, and a book by Dr. James Dobson, What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women. Pastor Forsee said that the latter might be helpful for me as it mentions alot about low self-esteem in women, which is something that bothers me.

That made me wonder if there are any other books that anyone of you have found helpful in your marriages. If so, please leave a comment with the title and author.

Also, has anyone read the Fireproof book or the book that is mentioned in the movie, The Love Dare? If so let me know what you think...

Thanks in advance for the book suggestions...

Vanessa, we did part of the Love Dare and it was awesome! That book really makes you think about things that we tend to forget once we are married. The small things.

The Five Love Languages is also a good book. There is also another one by Dr. Kevin Leman but I can't remember the name of it.

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
