Retreat weekend!

So we left thursday and came home saturday. It was amazing!! I met some new wonderful friends and got to reconect with some oldies! The weather was beyond perfect! We went up past Deer Park which is North of Spokane. The first night I didnt' sleep. I was on the top bunk and it was smaller than a twin so I was scared to move lol. The s2nd night I was on the bottom and slept much better. I took my camera but didn't take any pictures lol! The speaker was amazing! We also were in small groups and my group was so wonderful. I love how we all were going through the same things. They really made me think alot about the way I see myself and how I feel about myself and for that I will be grateful forever! I think this is the first time in a long time I started to like myself, and I tell ya, it felt good =) We stopped by quiznos on the way home and ate, then I got home about 5:30pm. The boys were so excited to see me, well Don, Josh and Jared. The older ones are use to me leaving I guess lol. I missed my men alot. Yesterday was a very trying day. The boys were absolutly driving me crazy. So we took off and went to my moms so they could run around the back yard, and they did and did! We went and got some ice cream and headed home. We were going to plant our lawn seed but our outside water isnt running, something about a cap, so Don is going to have to fix that today so I can start watering, its driving me crazy not being able to water! We went and grabbed dinner at Chiefs last night and met the lady whos grandma lived in this house since it was built. She came over to see what we've done with it and you could tell she was getting a little emotional, in a good way. She is so nice, she lives in Switzerland right now but might move back next year. We have her grandmas old record player that we told her we would hang on to for when she moves back. Its beautiful and means alot to her, so I'm glad we we're able to hold onto it for her. Well today is another beautiful day. We have to run back to Ephrata, I keep forgetting dogfood and Mona is mad about that lolol! Plus mothers day cards so I can get them in the mail. I told Don I wanted my hair done for mothers day, cut and color, so we'll see!! Well I better get going so we can leave. Have a great Monday!!
