I'm very excited to have you guys with us again, guys and girls. It is May 9, 2017 for Mormon Transitions Podcast. This is episode 24 for Mormon Stories. I'm losing count.

But today's episode is Healthy Marriage, part two.

And we're really excited to have you with us. We always have some announcements. We just had an amazing one and a half day workshop in Fort Collins, Colorado. Shout out to my Denver area, Fort Collins, Peeps.

Even some people came from Nebraska and Wyoming, I think, but it was just an amazing time.

So much healing and growth, focus on Mormon transitions, on faith transitions, on healthy relationships, on communicating with believing family and friends, raising healthy kids, spirituality, all that stuff. It was an amazing time.

We're just so thrilled to be able to do these events and we've got several coming up. And so I'm just going to quickly let you know of the upcoming calendar.

July 7th to 8th, we're going to be in Dallas, Texas for a full two day retreat. We're hoping San Antonio Austin, Houston, Oklahoma City for worth all those wonderful places.

And anyone who wants to fly in from out of state, please join us in Dallas for a two day retreat. We will be doing karaoke. I can give you that promise. We'll have Texas barbecue. We're going to try and do some bun stuff, like a pool party or hikes or something.

It's going to be more fun. So please join us August 11th and 12th. I am so super excited to announce mixed faith couples retreat. So Dr. Julie Diaz of Ado Hanks.

August 11th to 12th, we will be co leading a retreat, a two day retreat for couples where one believes in one doesn't. That's a really difficult thing to experience.

And in the past, we've had a post or transitioning Mormons out and numbering believers. So in this event, Julie's a believer. She attends church. I maybe not so much a believer, not so much attending church.

But together, we will be leading this retreat where it's 50 50 all the way. So please bring your partner and join us if you're in that difficult situation.

Seattle 14th and 15th will be in Seattle, Washington. Really excited about that to return to the place where we live for seven years.

October 20th to 22nd will be in Sydney, Australia. Gina Colvin gets really angry when I just say Australia. She wants it to be Sydney, Australia.

And so we're really excited to be doing a retreat, kind of at a resort. We're really excited about that.

And we have a November 9th and 10th, we're coming to the San Francisco Bay, Oakland area for a workshop there. And again, we're really excited for that. So those are our upcoming events. Please join us.

As always, we really invite you to email ideas for topics, questions, concerns, anything. Please email us at morma stories at gmo.com. We'll incorporate your emails, questions, comments, ideas into the podcast.

And our topic for next Tuesday is going to be creating a new family culture. That's a topic that my sweet wife wanted to cover. So she's going to be semi leading or leading that discussion. But we also will be providing backup. But we're really excited for that. Are you excited for that? Yeah.
