Catching Up (pt.1)

There have been much happening yet little time to post. This will be the first of two posts dedicated to catching up!

My hair was cut a few weeks ago and I l.o.v.e it. I love the way it goes curly and I love the way it goes straight. Here are photos of the way it looks as I walk out the door at day's start, and when I walk back through the door at day's end. Oh, and it's EASY to fix. That's one of the best things, right? Cute and easy....the best!

Going out.




Coming home.




I was given a week-end reprieve, not last week-end but the one before.

My dear friend, Ginger, organized some of her friends and the place we were going and the meals and shopped..... THANKS GINGER!!!I knew two of the other four ladies going but the common thread: we all needed a break, we are all wives, we mother 4 kids. So between the 5 ladies......you got it, 20 kids (there were only two nursing babies there though). She explained the local as a cabin and the picture that came to mind was the little beach cabin my family used to use when I was young. Small, nice but not glam. No biggie!!! We can have a awesome time hangin' in a small, nice cabin. But as Anna and I pulled into the drive.....whamo! we were shocked to find a mansion. It wasn't a super big deal but it was a nice perk!

We had a great time of encouragement, problem solving and prayer. Ahhhhh. We also hiked to a water fall. Beautiful fall scenery.

I will also tell, in a later post, how Ginger saved my life the last day. Really, truly.

I was super tired when I got home (I stayed up past midnight both nights.....I usually get to bed by 9) but this was greeting me as I stepped through the door.

It's nice to get away, but it's also nice to come back home.
Thanks, Babe, for this get-a-way treat!

Sometimes going away helps us see more clearly and in a new way, what we left behind. : )

I LOVE your new do! Super cute! Your face is so lovely and fresh I don't think it matters what you do with your hair... you are beautiful girl! Inside and out!

I Laughed out Loud when you mentioned the life-saving bit. I had totally forgotten about it and images of soda pop foaming popped into my head! Oh dear.

Thanks for being brave and coming along - I will always look back on that weekend with GREAT memories!
