gateway women's retreat::september 2012

In September, I got to getaway for a weekend. It was wonderful ;)

I went to the women's retreat through our church. It was at a camp. In the mountains.

I didn't get nearly enough pictures :)

I made new friends. Deepened friendships I already had. I am so thankful to have such amazing women placed in my life :)

On another note....Meghan and I drove together. I drove in the mountains. For the first time. I usually make Nick do it because I'm just chicken. I always have visions of us careening off the side. Yup.

...but we didn't go off the edge...it was fun, actually...poor Meghan :)

some of the wonderful ladies :)

this picture shows that I am no longer able to stay up until the wee hours chatting...then get up a few hours later! ;)

I roomed with Meghan and Monique.

Aren't they beautiful??

such a cute idea!

 okay, this picture will forever cheer me up....one of the ladies freaked out Jacynda the first night with this fake tarantuala thing...

What a blast the weekend was! I'm already excited for next year! ;)
