H: Pre-Cana

Hehe. Real original title, I know.
I know I said I was going to post about our separate bouquet and garter toss for the kids next, but I've opted not to. It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind! ...about blogs. And paint colors. And...anyway. There's not much to say about it right now, we're thinking that we'll do something different with it, so not much point in blogging at present. I know what you're thinking; "but Helen, you blogged about DIYing the DJ!" Hush, you. That was a work in progress! This is different!

Josh and I had our Pre-Cana conference today in Sacramento. It was...nice. The people were nice, the building was nice, etc. It was facilitated by a couple around 15 years older than my parents and they've been married for 46 years (the couple, not my parents). They have 8 children and a very stable marriage, so it was wonderful to hear from them. Most of what they've talked about Josh and I have already touched on/settled on, so we felt pretty prepared. And we got a nice, shiny certificate proving that we went through the training! It's quite nice. Yeah. Nice.
As a non-Catholic, it was interesting to get a bit deeper into the Catholic perspective. It may have been just a *touch* on the dull and at times frustrating side due to the tangents, but I think it was useful. They covered Natural Family Planning which - as it turns out - is very effective. One of these days when Josh and I are considering having children, we'll give it a go.
It was a pretty long day. We were up around 7 to be there by 8:30 and we got out about 5:00.
*sigh*
I'm tired. :-)
