1st Annual Gathering Women's Retreat

This weekend was so much fun! I was able to relax, hang out with some great friends, and I took a shower without someone turning the light out on me. HAHA The ride up there was a lot of fun, with 5 additional people in my van...we only got slightly lost on our way to Eagle Rock...

Here's our cabin. It was super nice!!!

Here's our group during the morning praise and worship study time.

Here is the creek...the water was crystal clear!

This is the creek where a lot of women went exploring, but they said there were spiders, so I just enjoyed it from afar.

Here I am, playing with the self timer on the camera...

Here we are, playing a hilarious game of Catch Phrase!

And here is the Van Crew, heading out after all the fun!

My clone. The first thing most people notice is his red hair and beautiful blue eyes. He often stands out in a crowd, and he loves to be the center of attention. He is analytical, as well as very literal; but even still he has a strong faith in the Lord that I find extremely heartwarming and I couldn't ask for a better experience than going through all of his firsts with him.

My over-achiever. Everything comes easy to him, whether it be school, relationships, or anything else he tries. He wants to be a scientist when he grows up. He is so incredibly caring and loving, and he is always concerned for other people's feelings. I look forward to every day with him.

My miracle. He entered the world 4 months too soon, weighing 1 pound, 6 ounces, and he surpassed all the odds and expectations by leaving the hospital and growing and becoming a healthy little boy. He has struggled with a speech delay, which is quickly becoming a non-issue, and he does have vision problems that will most likely turn into a permanent disability, but he has a great attitude, and he loves everyone he meets, and they love him. His smile can light up a room. He loves to make people laugh. When I hear him speak, or watch him play, or hold him close, I can't help but thank God over and over for the privilege of him being in my life.
