Winter Retreat 2012

Photobucket

this last weekend we headed to the mountains for our annual FCA/AIA regional winter retreat.  we were scheduled to head up to estes park friday, but since jon and finn rolled in around 3 am friday night/ saturday morning we headed up saturday afternoon.  we may not have gone at all except jon and i were supposed to be giving the "relationship" talk that night.

it was worth all the extra work of turning around and leaving the house so quickly.  it was so fun to speak saturday night and to get time away to hang with all of the students.  i love having the boys around our work too.  they have such a privileged opportunity to see college athletes loving Jesus.

the winds were completely crazy.  gusts up to 60 mph! i was holding on to the boys standing on a patch of ice, and literally got blown backward.  we were screaming, but mostly for fun.

i also had a head cold and wasn't sure how speaking was going to work.  i feel like i look like i can't breathe in this picture!

one of the first things we do when we get to a room is unplug the phone so no one can make any "accidental" dials.
