On Wednesday of this past week, Nate and I were suddenly presented with the opportunity to attend Marriage Encounter, a couples’ weekend through our church. Our initial response was that there was no way whatsoever that we could make it; after all, I’ve never been away from Sadie for more than three hours, and this retreat had every minute of it scheduled, and things like family members, cell phones, and watches were not allowed. But, the more we heard about it, the more we knew it was important for us to be there. So we made it happen with the help of our families and some awesome people at the church. We got my mom a room at the hotel so that I could still find a minute every few hours to sneak in a feeding. And at night, my mom graciously sacrificed her sleep, so that we could be down the hall from Sadie for feedings. Nate and I had an amazing experience at this retreat, and I think Sadie had a good time with her Sitty!
