Women's Retreat

Chad got home from spearfishing on Sunday and I headed out on Friday for a women's retreat with church. It was a nice break and perfect timing after having Tyler for 5 days while Chad was gone. The retreat was held at the Calvary Chapel Conference Center in Murrieta Hot Springs and it was GORGEOUS! The grounds were beautiful!! Even though there were a few hundred women from other churches on different retreats it NEVER felt like it. There were wide open grassy areas, benches, tables, real hot springs, big shady trees all throughout were you could get away for some quiet or just go and chit chat with friends. I room'd with my good friends, Kameron and Amber and we had such a blast and made tons of lasting memories!!! Our room had a bunk bed and then 4 twin beds but we kind of re-arranged the room right when we got there to make a somewhat triangle out of 3 of the beds!! It's so fun to have slumber parties and sleepovers with girlfriends when they're so few and far between now. The theme of the weekend was The Great Adventure of Knowing God. The messages were great, worship was awesome and I took away so much from a great weekend of getting away from the distractions of life at home. I can't wait for next year!
