Celebrating our Marriage...

We had the opportunity to attend a "Celebrate Your Marriage" Conference at The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island this month. This summer we celebrated our 12th Wedding Anniversary. We are truly thankful to God for blessing us with such a wonderful marriage! This was intended to be a surprise get-away for my husband, but due to a few circumstances, he found out early. Anyway, we enjoyed getting away even if only for 24 hours. The bad thing was that I had come down with the stomach flu the day before we left and Bart got the stomach flu the day we came home. So we ended up leaving the conference a little early, since he got sick. It wasn't the greatest of getaways, but we were thankful to be able to do it.


Getting ready to go home, on the front porch of the Grand Hotel. (Bart's smiling, even though he doesn't feel well.)

The beautiful sunrise, from our balcony, lake-front room.

The Grand Hotel, is always a beautiful sight!

Friends that God seated us next to for dinner Friday evening, Joey & Holly Kline. She recently became pregnant, via "Snow Babies" Embryo Adoption. We were able to share our journey of infertility with them as well. It was definitely a God-appointment. We were thankful to be able to enjoy our 5 course meal as well (with 12 pieces of silverware!)

Enjoying our yummy dinner in the Grand.
Riding the Ferry boat over to Mackinac Island. Mom & Dad G. so graciously came and stayed with Ethan & Evan for the day. The bad thing was that Mom Glupker also came down with the stomach flu that morning. Apparently I shared. :-(
