NFP #1


Monday afternoon, we arrived at the Diocesan Pastoral Center for our first out of four Natural Family Planning classes.  There were 6 other couples, some were already married, while most were engaged.  Our instructors are two elderly individuals who has been married for over 40 years, one a retired scientist and the other a retired math teacher.  With 4 adult children, they spent their time teaching NFP and Marriage prep classes as well as traveling.  They just came back from two weeks vacation in Hawaii... man... that's the life! 
 
The whole process was pretty interesting, it started with a review of anatomy and then we went into learning about the sympto-thermal method.  Overall, it's quite a commitment on the woman's part, she has to take body temperature every morning as well as chart observations daily.  The men are only there for moral and emotional support... Our next class is in two weeks!

For being so good, Dave and I rewarded ourselves with macha green tea and popcorn chicken after wards... nom-nom-nom!
