While Clint and I were dating, we took a day trip to Bainbridge Island. We wandered into an inn with guests finishing dinner under strings of lights in the courtyard. It was too romantic not to dance, so we did. After our wedding, we returned to this same small inn. We didn’t have dancing at our wedding, so I danced with Clint in my wedding dress in the courtyard. The Eagle Harbor Inn has secured a place in our traditions and our hearts. The weekend was filled with swinging on park swing sets, munching at farmers’ markets, and just slowing down. Here are some things we’re (starting) to learn about marriage:10. Goals must be flexible
9. Building a house is hard
8. Clint is a verbal processor; Jen is an internal processor
7. Forgiveness keeps us unified
6. Meals together— on the floor; at a restaurant; surrounded by paint cans—are equally delicious
5. Luxury is relative
4. Laughing keeps us from taking ourselves too seriously
3. We love each other
2. We need to be headed in the same direction
1. That direction needs to be toward God
