Premarriage "Crash" Course

Yes-we are still getting married! Why the "crash" course then? Well, we basically covered several weeks material in a week. Richard and I have been discussing and dealing with so much over the past several months that a lot of what is dealt with in premarriage counselling we've already covered...plus we're older so some issues that younger couples would deal with aren't applicable anymore.

The week away in Englehart with the Kerr family was just wonderful. Peter Kerr had graciously agreed to perform the ceremony and invited us up for the week to prepare for both the wedding and the marriage afterwards. He and his wife Dorothy spent time with us discussing marriage from a Biblical standard and gave us excercises to do both seperately and together. It was a very challenging time but also such an encouragement to both of us.

But it wasn't all work! We had a very enjoyable time outside exploring their property and an outdoor lunch/hike in Kap-Kig-Awan Provincial Park which is in Englehart.

Now, some of you may be asking, 'Where is Englehart?'. Well, Englehart is about 45 minutes north of New Liskard. For those of you asking, 'Well, where is New Liskard?' it is a few hours north of North Bay. If you don't know where North Bay is, well, it's north of Toronto by about 4 hours. Bottom line is, we were up north among moose, bears, & very kind people.
