But I know that my daughters have felt so special and cared for that we want to protect their mind, hearts and bodies that it makes it worth the challenge. :-) I'm sure your girls feel the same. I pray that we can continue be an encouragement to each other.

We love you dearly. You are an awesome daughter in law and I am so thankful you are in our family. <br /><br />Yes, so many do not understand this path of courtship. I remember Mandi trying to explain and people would just sort of stare. Or sometimes challenge her. <br /><br />again, thank you all for sharing. It means more than you will ever know. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />TeenaTeenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582391374202077005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202196.post-18364763367808568782010-11-06T11:43:25.555-04:002010-11-06T11:43:25.555-04:00We have made the same decision for our family, alt...We have made the same decision for our family, although our oldest is only 11 so we haven't had to really 'walk that path' just yet. <br /><br />I have both of the books (princess and the squire ones) and the study guides to go with them. We are planning on using them with the kids as they approach their 13th Birthdays. <br /><br />My brother is a jeweler and he designed a ring years ago for himself and my younger brothers. It is a dove whose tail makes the band of the ring and there is a cross inside the dove. <br /><br />I have already asked him about making them for my kids when the time comes - they are equally beautiful and they are doubly special as they are made by their Uncle and are the same as the ones all their Uncles wore (and some still wear!)<br /><br />Alyssa is a special, beautiful young lady! I'm so glad you had this special time with her and that she had such a lovely night.Deedeehttp://www.homeschoolblogger.com/deedeeuknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202196.post-81140989731946612732010-11-06T00:52:27.249-04:002010-11-06T00:52:27.249-04:00So wonderful.

This year our twins turned 12 and we took them to dinner and daddy gave them each a heart necklace while at the same time they promised their heart to their daddy. Such a fun and important age. Happy birthday to your dear girl.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444896414475893411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202196.post-84057447628079031842010-11-05T22:55:00.800-04:002010-11-05T22:55:00.800-04:00Meant to say, she is beautiful, and what a special...Meant to say, she is beautiful, and what a special time for you all!<br /><br />StephanieOurLilFullFamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651635309150678309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202196.post-82120428284640586862010-11-05T22:54:05.852-04:002010-11-05T22:54:05.852-04:00Teena, I love your words!!
We have made that sam...Teena, I love your words!! <br /><br />We have made that same rule in our house too, and it is getting to be strange walking through the first one. Boys ask her to date, and then we she explains, they think they can have her promise to wait for them while they date aroound. <br /><br />When you haven't heard of this before, I guess it does seem strange. I am so excited about seeing Michael Farris talk tommorrow about courtship...<br /><br />StephanieOurLilFullFamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651635309150678309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202196.post-34438958289858516062010-11-05T21:18:30.641-04:002010-11-05T21:18:30.641-04:00I am choked with emotion as I write this comment T...I am choked with emotion as I write this comment Teena. What a wonderful, wonderful thing to do with your children! You are such an amazing mom! You always encourage me and I'm so thankful that you are my friend and mentor!<br /><br />It is great always being able to "sound things off" on one another and help each other make the right choices. You know that we have chosen the "no dating" route as well, but have done nothing to make it official like you did with Lys. I may try to do something similar with Kate!<br /><br />So proud of you and the commitment you have made to raise Godly children for His glory... don't worry about the "strange" part. We are called to be different!<br /><br />Love you,<br />MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333510935780123962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202196.post-84007880454406065752010-11-05T20:41:26.205-04:002010-11-05T20:41:26.205-04:00I think you are a "strangely" wonderful ...I think you are a "strangely" wonderful family Teena. She is just beautiful and glows with a very special inner beauty. I think the love and security she has in you and your husband will make courtship something very good for her.<br />I commend you!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937532276250199445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202196.post-38219642507055085382010-11-05T13:50:19.092-04:002010-11-05T13:50:19.092-04:00Aww how special!
