Weekend Away

This past weekend I made my annual trek up to New Hampshire (alone) to Camp Berea's Women's Retreat. It is as always a time to be with God and wonderful Godly women who have blessed and enriched my life throughout the years. This past weekend was no exception. This years theme was based on the 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 'We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. The team did a fabulous job creating Soul Survivor Weekend. The stage was set up like something you would see on the TV show Survivor. The speaker, Jane Rubietta, gave us some really good tools and ideas on helping our souls. (oops forgot to take a picture of Jane)

The costumes this year were fabulous.......... You remember the Tom Hanks movie 'Cast Away'....Wilson!!!!!!!!!!

And this year I tried something new....I shot guns! Here I am with the shot gun...and yes...I hit the target...I took my target home and showed my hubby. He told me maybe I should be the one to go deer hunting this year...HAHAHAHAHA!

Here are a few videos of the crazy good fun we have up there.....

A 'Survivor Challenge'

Our hosts Mary and Anolie, busting a move!


My bunk mates and Massachusetts friends...Jan,Tanya, Kelly, Mama Daigle, Jen and Chris.

It was a FABULOUS time and I cannot tell you how much my spirit, mind and heart benefit from this weekend. A HUGE thank you to my hubby for taking such good care of our children and making this weekend possible...I love you babe!
