Tonight Michael and I attended a very special gathering of young married couples at the Cathedral Residence. After a couple of years of talking about it and trying to form a group, the time has finally come! We met about 8-10 great couples who all had the following things in common with us: 1) We were all married at the cathedral and 2) We all strive to keep God at the center of our marriage. It was really great to hear each of the couples' stories of faith ... it was like NOD but for married folks =). What was extra cool about it was that we were all generally around the same age so it was easy to relate to one another. I think Msgr. Kevin and Fr. Francis could also feel the magic in the room because they couldn't stop gushing about how wonderful it was to finally get a select group together. Michael and I felt honored to have played a part in getting the group formed and we are so excited to see what comes next! For now, we decided to meet every second Sunday of the month and each couple would take turns hosting the evening's discussions! We also are trying to come up with a name ... we suggested Couples Centered in Christ but we'll see what the group ends up choosing!
Truly, it's such a blessing to be part of this new community and to be able to enrich our marriages by learning from one another!!! Everyone tonight was so incredibly awesome and I can't wait to get to know everyone better!!
