Romantic Nearcation

Dean & I finished out our anniversary celebration!  We bought our house the very end of June and with all the projects we had to make it liveable we couldn't break away for a mini vacation.  We went to the Melting Pot at the Country Club Plaza to celebrate our first year of marriage on July 2nd, but we still wanted to do a little more!  We told ourselves that in the fall, we'd do a little more!  So this past weekend we headed out to Parkville, Mo and stayed in a B&B and enjoyed the historic town!  We had a blast walking the town, doing some antiquing and just enjoying each other.  Even though we were only 45 min to an hour away from our house it felt like we were hours away!  I highly recommend this location to anyway wanting a small get-a-way!

This scripture was a reading from our Wedding. Ephesians 5:22-33 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church- for we are members of his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound mystery-but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
