Great weekend!


Well it has been a few days since I have posted anything, that is because I have been out of town. Andy and I went on a marriage reteat with our church. It was in small logging town about two hours south of where we live in Idaho. The hotel is a new hotel and it's pretty nice. Our room was on the first floor, and when you went out on the patio you could throw rocks into the river. The weather was crisp and cool, but sunny. We got to meet new couples, and catch up with old friends. We went out and had a glass of wine with friends who have kids the age of our kids, it was nice to have quiet while we talked. We had lunch with dear friends, people we look up to, very good. We then set up a slackline (which is kind of like a tightrope)and had fun laughing at each other. That night we went out to dinner just the two of us, and then did some swing dancing. It was a lot of fun. The speaker and his wife were great, but most of all it was a nice weekend with my husband. It was needed, refreshing and fun. Now we are home and life is back to normal. Well as normal as our life gets, hopefully we can hold on to a bit of what we had there.

I'm glad you had a good time. You deserve it.

Wow - That sounds great! I'm really happy for both of you.

Not to mention a little jealous.

And just to be a little more jealous, I came across this event this morning, which I would totally go to if I live near you.

You and Andy and a few friends should consider it...

That does look like fun. Andy is going to be gone this weekend, and I would have o find a babysitter again. It isn't very far from us too bad Rick isn't sending you to it. Andy and I think that is how you should get out here. Find a conf or retreat and come to that.
