Strong Bonds

Matt and I had the opportunity to go to a marriage seminar in Gatlinburg this weekend. It's called Strong Bonds and its hosted by the Family Programs Office for the Army(and Air) National Guard. We weren't too sure about how the classes would be but once we got there we had a blast! The classes were very entertaining and informative. We watched really funny videos, played games, took a personality test, and had fun discussions. There were also some serious times too. They talked about deployments(i cried the entire time), renewed our vows, and talked about forgiveness. We met some really nice people that we'll never forget.

While we weren't in our classes we had even more fun hanging out around Gatlinburg, just Matt and I. We ate at Hard Rock Cafe, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co, and Huck Finn's Catfish just to name a few. They were all fabulous! We shopped lots and walked even more. We went to the aqurium, wax museum, car museum, Ripley's Believe It or Not museum and lots more. I was wiped out after walking my pregnant butt all over that place!! :)

It was so nice to get away just for a few days. Jenna stayed with Matt's mom the first night and my mom the second night. She had a great weekend too!! Mimi put curlers in her hair and she LOVED it!

Here is a clip from a video they gave us.
