It was fab. Truly a fun time spent with about sixty women ranging in age from college to late life.
We went to a state park, not far from home, but far enough to feel like we were away.
Our cabins were great - more like nice condos than a cabin at the lake - much nicer than I had anticipated for sure.
We were blessed by a group of speakers from a sister church in our area as the leaders for our event. These ladies have a heart for the Lord and it is evident in their presentations. I am doubly blessed to be a even a small part of the church they hail from - it is where Hannah goes to preschool and I teach part-time.
I tried to soak in as much knowledge and wisdom as I could from the events of the weekend. Good stuff was taught at all the meetings and breakout seminars, learning how to be a good mom, wife and Christian woman in today's world. I think I clearly need more than two days worth of training however, there are days I fail miserably at all of the above.
Along with the serious spiritual stuff, we did manage to have a great bit of fun. The first night in our cabin we had an 80's Trivia night -- music, movie lines, pop culture questions were flung at us right and left and yep, you guessed it -I WON!! If there were a television game show where all the questions were like that -- I would be a millionaire. It was really fun. It is amazing how much random knowledge a brain can hold from twenty years back and yet I can forget there are rolls in the oven and burn them - every time.
It was a great time for me - fun to get away, fun to spend some time with women at my church that I rarely get to do more than say hello to on a Sunday morning and fun to spend some time focusing on the things that really matter in life.
I am looking forward to next year already.
