Tonight was our first night to attend marriage classes with Father Tom. I was pretty nervous about going and Todd was really crabby about it when he got home from work! Then while he was showering his pager went off for a house fire in Burwell; I was just sure he would have to go to it so he could get out of classes! He opted not to go, so we headed downtown to Pizza Palace buffet before going to Ord.
We got there a smidge early, so we did about a 5x drive by of the church! :) We went in and the first few minutes were a little awkward, but things slowly improved after they starting talking basketball! Then we were taken to another room where we sat at a table and answered 156 questions related to "our marriage." You either agree, disagree or are uncertain about each questions. We were informed that you can get each question wrong twice (once for not agreeing with your partner and second for not agreeing with the religion). Some of the questions were quite comical, but now we will full understand eachothers TV and gambling habits!
Finally we had to fill out a "Prenuptial Agreement" with the Priest. It included information about us, our parents, our religious background and if we were pressured into this marriage! After settling on our 'courtship' being for approximately the last 65 months were were out of there! (The sad part is, Todd was right on the length of our relationship...not me!)
We set the date for our next meeting and headed home to watch Burn Notice! We are Omaha bound tomorrow morning with Sam & Kendra...can't wait for a weekend of fun!
