Weekend Highlights

Mass in the Oratory at Ave Maria

My favorite place at Ave Maria (okay, one of them, for there are many!) is the Oratory. It is very special to have Mass here every day along with daily prayer time. This past weekend Tyler and I helped lead an Engaged and Married Staff Conference. There were four couples that each gave talks and in between the talks the couples had time to discuss the information and apply it to their lives.

Tim and Abigail gave a talk on communication

Our talk was on Teamwork and Scheduling. Tyler had a fun idea to start the talk off with a physical activity. We showed a quick video of two people doing a handshake (think "secret" handshake style with lots of moves) and then we asked each couple to come up with their own handshake. The activity was to build teamwork and to show how other people, especially students on campus, look to us and we are models of family life. 

Couples creating their own handshakes

We captured another sunset outside of the cafeteria the other evening. We are really enjoying our time in Florida and can't believe it's already the middle of June!
