marriage questionnaire and guitaring
I miss Twitter SMS updates.
Have had a busy weekend – yesterday was haircut, then engagement party for another James and Deby, and then family dinner with my parents and my sister and Ryan. Then today has been part 1 of pre-marital counselling and now lunch with the Gowers for Howie’s birthday.
Pre-marital counselling part 1 was fun. It was just a huge questionnaire that we had to fill out. There was 165 statements, and we had to decide if we agreed or disagreed with them. We did our own answers and had to do it independently. Then Neil, the senior pastor, will collate all the answers and we’ll have a look at them in future weeks. I guess it just gives us ideas on areas we may need to think about and focus on before and during the early parts of our marriage. And yeah, I am scared about a few of the responses and how they’ll differ… but overall, I don’t think there’ll be many surprises. We’ll see.
Looking forward to heading down to church shortly… I’m leading and guitaring again. I played electric guitar two weeks ago, and it actually sounded pretty cool having two electrics – I just have to remember to try and play different bits to the other electric guitarist. Eventually, I’d like to buy a Boss AC-3 pedal for my electric I think and make it sound like an acoustic when I want it to. But they’re expensive, so it might be a while. And then eventually eventually, I’d like to get a new acoustic – I’m a bit over my acoustic at the moment… the strings just sit too high off the fret board and it gets hard to play. So electric it is at the moment.
