Happy Valentine's Day

Matt & I were able to attend the marriage retreat at our church this weekend. It was a wonderful time to get away together. There were several "breakout sessions" where we were able to ask each other questions to see how well we know each other and spend time discussing life issues. This afternoon, I found the following questionnaire on a friend's facebook page, so we decided to post our answers to it keeping to the theme of our retreat weekend! Hopefully, you will enjoy getting to know us better as you read.
