I am home once again waiting on the cable (Dish Network) guy. "What?" you say, "I thought you were getting cable last week." No my friend, they found no signal. So someone new is coming today and I am spending yet another morning in the house waiting. But don't feel sorry for me because I love it! I've got my coffee, my camera, my laptop, and my puppies and I'm good to go.
Have you ever been to ThePioneerWoman.com? If not, you are missing out. Ashley, myrecipes.com extraordinaire and best friend, shared this site with me many months ago. I had not visited in a while and one day I thought, "I'll see what Pioneer Woman is up to." I hit the jack pot. She started a whole section on photography. We're talking easy to read tutorials that I can understand! I am pumped! (This may have been there all along, but I didn't notice it until now.) Anyway, I basically am terrible at manipulating this camera to do more than take pictures on full auto. I'm trying, but I get frustrated when I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Pioneer Woman is full of great advice so if you are interested in photography, cooking, gardening, and life in the wild west, check her out.
And, on to the second subject of the blog,.... The Love Dare. (Couldn't think of a smooth way to transition from the Pioneer Woman to the Love Dare. Sorry.)
If you have ever seen the movie Fire Proof, you know what The Love Dare is. If you haven't seen the movie Fire Proof, you need to watch it. Now. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Landmark (our church) just started a new Wednesday night class on the book, The Love Dare. For those of you that may be unfamiliar, the Love Dare is a 40 day challenge for husbands and wives to understand and practice unconditional love. Sounds interesting, huh? Let me give you a little taste by sharing with you what is on the very first page:
"Receive this as a warning. This forty day challenge cannot be taken lightly. It is a challenging and often difficult process, but an incredibly fulfilling one. To take this dare requires a resolute mind and a steadfast determination. It is not meant to be sampled or briefly tested, and those who quit early will forfeit the greatest benefits. If you will commit to a day at a time for forty days, the results could change your life and your marriage. Consider it a dare from others who have done it before you."
Tonight, we begin. I am very excited about this class and this journey and I pray that it will change my life and my marriage. I'm not saying that Ben and I don't have a great marriage, we do! I just think that you can never do enough to make your marriage even better. Marriage doesn't just happen because you coexist in the same house. It takes work. I'm sure I have a lot to learn and I can't wait to begin!
You can pick up a copy of The Love Dare at your local book store and definitely at your local christian book store. If you are interested and need someone to keep you accountable, let me know and you can go through it with me! No class necessary.

What a great idea to make that a class! That will help with accountability.
Love the Pioneer Woman...she knows so much about everything!
