The Marriage You've Always Wanted

On Saturday Brian and I attended Gary Chapman's "The Marriage You've Always Wanted Seminar" It was absolutely wonderful.  I learned so much and found myself constantly wanting more.  I was really sad to see the day end. Some of the topics he talked about were

- Communication
- Understanding and Expressing Love
- Initiating Positive Change
- How To Share Things That Bug You

 I came home encouraged and inspired.

Brian and I certainly have our fair share of struggles as most married couples do.  We fight, we bicker, we disagree and occasionally we are just down right mean and nasty to one another.  Sometimes it seems worse than others like we just can't catch a break.  There are constantly other things for us to be doing and we have lost the focus on us.  By attending this conference together we have taken the first step to put back together what has seemed broken for so long. 

I want to share what I learned at this conference, what spoke to my heart and what I am doing to honor my marriage and my husband.  I hope to write a series of posts over the next several weeks to months.  This is something that has been working up inside of me for sometime now.  It wasn't an easy decision to attend this conference and take the initial steps towards "the marriage we've always wanted"

My name is Sonya and I am married to a wonderful man who is truly my best friend. I am the proud mommy of Lauren and our newest addition Colton! I love to cook, bake, read, scrapbook and I am a photography enthusiast. I also love to be around my large extended family. I have 4 nieces and 5 nephews.

Brian, is my wonderful loving husband. My best friend and the father of my children. He loves being a daddy, boxing, Muay Thai and working out.

Lauren is our 4 year old daughter. She loves her Daddy, running and being outside. She also is a big fan of "neighs" (horses). She amazes me everyday at all the new words that she can say and the new things she is learning. It blows my mind the things that she comes up with. She is such a great kid!

Colton, AKA, Little Man, is our newest addition to the family. He has brought us so much joy. Right now he loves to eat, sleep and is learning to walk. Colton was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at 6 weeks old and has been wearing a Pavlik Harness since 7 weeks. He wore the harness full time for 8 weeks and then part time for 6 weeks for a total of 14 weeks. Having hip dysplasia hasn't slowed him down one bit. He can crawl and has recently started walking
