| News - Section Section 6 & 7 Convention 2004 Announcement Tom & Caroline Hi everyone...we thought we'd put some information out about the next ME Convention coming up. It will be our Section Convention, different than the National Convention that all of us from Section 6 went to this past June...but, we've heard it's just as great...and they give away really cool pens too!:-) We wanted to give you a little insight as to what we thought of the National convention. We have never been to anything like this convention in our lives. It was incredibly inspiring to see so many couples dedicated to their marriage. The presentations were heartfelt and very moving... it opened our eyes up to a lot of what others go through in their marriages and yet... they still continue to work on their love for each other. To see the number of Priests, Bishops and ArchBishops there was overwhelming. I had goose bumps just seeing them at the Masses. They too were so inspired and proud to be there and to be amongst people who believed in the unity of Marriage. This was one of the most incredible sights of the weekend (the other sight was Tom's M.E. tattoo!!!:-)) Another thing that happened to us that weekend was a rekindling spirit to dialogue with each other. We, like a lot of others, became very complacent in our non-dialoguing and chalked it up to being just too busy to dialogue. But one thing we realized there, that by us not dialoguing we are telling each other that we do not even have 20 minutes in a day to spend with each other...and that made us feel really badly for each other. We thought that even though our children are very young still...what will we be like in our relationship after they are grown and off to school somewhere...is that when we will start dialoguing or will we be too far apart from each other by that time. It's a total crapshoot to know what we will be like as "empty-nesters". I know, but we vowed that we owe it to ourselves and our children to dialogue and become closer... hence, teaching our children what it means to love your spouse as a whole. It's rather kind of humorous to see us sending Samuel & Helena to the other room while dad & mom do their "homework" (which is how we explained it to them since they're both so into this school & homework thing) but...with each day, it gets a bit easier. Now, that's not to say we haven't skipped a day here or there, but we just jump right back on the wagon and pick up as if we hadn't skipped. Okay okay...I know I just rambled on a bit too much about the convention and dialogue...please forgive me, I guess I was just caught up in the moment:-)! Seriously, maybe if you join us at the 2004 Convention in Columbus you too will find a renewed sense of dialogue and deepened love for your spouse. So...enough with my testimonies and nonsense...here's the pertinent information you'll need to join us at the Columbus Convention. There were four couples that went to this past convention and to say we had a rip-roaring blast would be putting it mildly. After this past convention, we really don't want to miss another one...it was just so much fun and so invigorating! Section 6 & 7 ME Convention Early Registration Bonuses:
