candy crazy

Happy February!
John woke up after only 5 hours of sleep today so he's napping on the couch before he has to leave for work again. He's rarely complains but I know it has to be so hard to try to sleep during the day. He's my hero :)

For Valentines day John and I went to a marriage conference with my parents in Frankenmuth Michigan. It was a Love and Respect Video conference. If you have never read the book I would highly reccomend it. The book is basically everything in the conference... I have it if you would like to borrow it :)




We got to eat lunch at the Bavarian Inn. Apparently Frankenmuth is known as "The Little Bavaria of Michigan" and they do everything they can to be Bavarian in every way. Across the street from our hotel was a Coffee Haus.



We got back from the conference on Tuesday (we stayed a little longer at my parents house) and we leave for Florida this Sunday! SOOO excited. Poor John is trying to fit homework in between our trips and working full time which is probably why he couldn't sleep today. It stresses him out pretty badly.

Oh. My wonderful neighbor and friend Laura convinced me to try to give up extra sweets with her until she goes on HER family vacation to Florida. I've gone one and a half days, and that's only because I'm calling Junior Mints MINTS instead of candy. It's pretty much just giving up candy, cookies, brownies, etc... which I eat WAY too much of. Not sure I can make it until April :)

I like the way your blog looks and I like the way your face looks ;]

Hope you and John have a relaxing trip!

Things that taste like candy, but aren't:
vernors
taco bell
those honey roasted peanuts...
frozen grapes
doritos

(These things will help you give up candy, but they probably won't help any other area of your health, so I guess that leaves us with frozen grapes...and vernors--you know that little green gnome on the bottle is the picture of health...)

Tell my dear Johnny boy that I am so proud of him for going to a marriage conference (I know that it is not most guys favorite thing to do)!!! Also, I am very proud of him for being such a good provider and for going back to school to finish what he started. What a great guy. You are to be honored and commended as well, because without your love and support (and respect!), he wouldn't be able to do it. God bless you both. Love and hugs.

Hi Amy! We were just thinking about you the other guys the other day! I hope all is well. I love the book "Love and Respect" and we would love to go to a conference sometime!

Hope all is well!

Amy (from the other Jon and Amy) ;)
