Charged Up!!

Went to a "Missionettes Mini Retreat" today. Sooo fun, sooo relaxing, and so much accomplished. Diana hosted it at Furmin Park (sp?) from a house there overlooking the ocean ... right next door to the amazing lighthouse.

We had a yummy breakfast .... fruits, muffins, bagels, fruit salad, etc.

and this was the view as we ate our lovely breakfast and lunch. Pretty cool, huh?!

I think this year we will be more organized and cohesive. It's a lovely, fun bunch of ladies with some great ideas. I'm so excited for the year to start!

I wanted to take a bunch more pictures, but time would not allow. Well, let me re-phrase that: I did have time while everyone was eating (that would have been a nice shot as well), but I was too busy enjoying the conversations at my table to get up and miss out on some good conversation by taking pictures. Oh well.

Great pictures. When I saw you taking the picture of that bowl of watermelon, I wondered - hmmm, what's that going to look like - but it's really cool!! Nice and refreshing for sure!! Even though I was only there to serve you all it was great to see everybody come together and make a plan to minister to the girls in our church!

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Another Layout

Credits here . Can you tell how I've been spending my free time :) I had the most fun taking these pictures! I just asked Ashley to tell me a story (she is quite the storyteller and quite the drama queen--she takes after her aunt, lol!) . As she was telling her GREAT story, I just used the "continuous" mode in the fancy, shmancy camera and shot away. Went to Seal Beach today with Teena . So fun and relaxing. Why don't I have pictures to share? Ummm, I kind of forgot the CF card (to store the pictures on) at home. That's only the second time in less than a week that I've done that. Aren't you proud of me?! In case any of you were wondering, yes, I am a total "spaz." :)
