Weekend in brief

We had a marriage retreat on Friday and Saturday at our church, and I though it went really well. The couple that led the retreat was very insightful, and very frank. I appreciated that. It's nice to know that we're normal. :) Well, as normal as normal is... Seriously, though, I think we walked out of it even more sure that we are where we're supposed to be, and ecstatic that God has led us in the right direction all this time. (As a side note, I think there were only two couples there who had been married longer than us: one couple are in their early 40s and have three children, and the other are in their late 20s and have been married only one year longer... We were the third-longest married couple, and the youngest participants! Strange...)

I had a bad back day on Friday, so I got about 2, 2 1/2 hours of sleep Friday night. Ew. But I took a long (3 1/2 hour) nap on Saturday and a shorter (1 1/2 hour) nap today. Problem is, all this napping is seriously cutting in on my brief-writing time. (Well, so is blogging... but that's another story...) Truth is, I really dislike this stuff. I wish we could write briefs and memos in our substantive classes so it seems more relevant and more worthwhile. It just feels like this class is a joke, and it's hard to get motivated for a joke. You know.

My sister is getting married in less than 2 weeks. Weird. In less than 2 weeks Bryan will no longer be the only son-in-law. My little sister will have a different last name. She'll be someone's wife. This is surreal.

OK. I guess I have to get writing. But I won't like it. :)
