Good Monday, ya'll.
We had a great weekend.
Asia and I spent Friday night and all day Saturday at a "New Beginnings" marriage workshop, observing what most of the couples we will be mentoring go through as part of our church's 'preparing for marriage' program. It was a great weekend... so fun to see all these young (and some not-so-young) couples do the hard work of learning to communicate and work through some of the tough issues of bringing two people together. I was so proud of all of them.
It was good for me to watch and listen to the advice and information doled out over the course of the weekend. And good for me to look at my husband and appreciate the good thing we've got going. I am blessed with a great husband. And I'm so thankful for the healthy relationship we have. I love being married to this man.
There was a whole section on personality types in the workshop, which I've studied off and on over the years. Or rather, I should say, I've had lots of friends who have studied it and who have labeled me... this was the first time I really paid much attention to it myself though. For anyone who's interested, I am Melancholy Choleric. Reading through the descriptions and then looking at Asia's tendencies was pretty eye-opening for me - and made me appreciate my husband even more. He loves me. Even when I'm not particularly easy to love. I am blessed.
Today is a major work day for me. The house has sort of gotten away from me with my trip last week... so I've vacuumed and dusted and mopped and I still need to change sheets and wash some windows... it's pretty messy and I just need to tackle it head on.
Found a yummy Thai restaurant over the weekend... can't stop thinking about the spicy peanut chicken I had there... I'm thinking I'm going to get lunch there on Thursday for my birthday. Yum.
Okay. Time to get back to cleaning.
Monday smooches to you all.

What an interesting weekend! I am doing housework too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend. I love thai food too.
ReplyDeleteHow about dinner on Friday instead? :-)
ReplyDeletemel/chol: Duh! I think I have mentioned this to you before, in the most loving of possible ways. It's really helpful to get the personalities figured out. Isn't it interesting? I am Sanguine/Choleric, which means that I am super happy, and very controlling... But knowing the problem is the first step, right?!
ReplyDeletekelly is so sanguine. she made it sound like you had listed a whole descripion of personalities from what I read on her blog this morning, so I came in search of answers only to find one quick reference to yourself. ha ha. She's labeled me as phelgmatic, and I'm too lazy to disagree.

I can't believe that you slipped in that your B-day is on the 8th. What are you expecting lots of gifts or something! Ha Ha
