An amazing weekend .. and a Giveaway!

So my husband and I had the opportunity to attend a Marriage Retreat that was sponsored by The Colorado National Guard. If you or your spouse is in the National Guard I would suggest you check to see if they have Marriage Retreats in your area! This is the organization that put this one on Strong Bonds So check your state and see if they have one going on!

And remember - your marriage does NOT have to be in trouble to go to a Marriage Retreat! It is for enrichment of your marriage! And the tools you take away can be used in MANY aspects of your life!

So during this Marriage Retreat we were treated to a stay at the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort & Spa .. we were also lucky enough to have been put on orders so we were reimbursed travel and per Diem!

The program was amazing and was put on by this amazing Chaplin that was actually a Navy Chaplin and he is moving to the Colorado Army National Guard! The Retreat was based on the Book 12 hours to a great Marriage!

I was even able to get an extra copy of the book .. And I am going to give one away!

The timing was perfect for us as we were going on vacation the night we got home and we were going to be talking to my Husbands family about possibly moving from CO to ID and the techniques we learned helped reduce the stress immensely! You will LOVE this book .. If you do not win the giveaway you really should order the book! They have it available at Amazon!

OK So this is what you need to do to enter to win the book - Leave a comment with a positive memory from a relationship in your past or present! It can be a husband/wife; mom/child; Dad/Child; best friends; any type of relationship! I REALLY look forward to reading your comments! Please pass my link on to anyone you think may like to win the book .. and I will probably throw in some other freebies :)

I think we have so many negative things going on in the world today that some great positive stories will be inspirational!
