Ahhhh...

So...once again we are at the one month mark and I am updating just so that I can say it hasn't been over a month. January proved to be fairly uneventful. The best part of the month was Mike and I getting a weekend away at Forest Home for a Couples Retreat. Going to Forest Home always feels like going home. I have been going there for close to fifteen years and then to be there with my hubby made it all the sweeter. It wasn't our first time going up there for a Couples Retreat, but it never ceases to amaze me that after all my years of praying for the wrong boy up at Forest Home that I am able to go back with the right boy.

One of the most humorous parts of the weekend was on Friday night when the hosts did a little ice-breaker to see who could stay standing up the longest. If the statement they said was true we had to sit down. One of the first statements was, "If you have thrown a snowball at your spouse sit down." AND WE WERE THE ONLY ONES TO SIT DOWN! Unfortunately my sweet hubby didn't play by the rules and he nailed me in the face (see picture at top o' blog) but don't worry....I had plenty of chances to get him back. In all seriousness it was a beautiful weekend to be in the mountains and it was a refreshing time for the both of us and gave us a great opportunity to have a "State of Union".




Other than the glorious weekend we are in throws of an overscheduled 4 year old. We are having fun, but I promise you that once the school year is over we are going to aim for an unscheduled day.
