Book Review: The Mediterranean Love Plan by Stephen & Misty Arterburn with Becky Johnson

I think we can all agree that marriage takes work. But some people forget that it can and should be lots of fun, too! Even a happy marriage (like mine) can benefit from getting a refresher course in passion every now and then. I love this unique & inspiring book and eat it up.

A Wonder-Filled Week of Family Vacation

Only one of five members in our family is a planner (our daughter). I can plan but I usually don't unless it's necessary.

We're truly grateful for His provision and protection throughout the whole trip! Thanks to Annette (Eric's sister), we slept 3 nights at her place while we were in Washington and she was our tour guide in Seattle.
