Spring!

Spring was super busy and fun but I could never seem to get caught up with blogging everything!

Our womens retreat was over a weekend in May. Amy summed it up so nice in her blog that I must simply quote her. I really couldn't say it any better!
A couple of weeks ago, I was able to get some great girl time and inspiration in at our church women's retreat. It was a beautiful weekend in Gig Harbor, and although I have been having quite a few get-aways lately, this was special! I always come away from these spiritually strengthened and renewed, and I love spending time with my sisters in Christ. We had lots of free time on Saturday, and the highlight was the adventure of pedal boating in the sunshine, as we carefully maneuvered the four of us so the boat did not sink. And I mean that - the boat was super low in the water and every movement was scary! We managed to rotate around and sit in different spots and Amy Jo managed to take this picture of the four of us - it still makes me laugh to look at her up close like that.Who thought pedal boating could be so much fun? I loved hanging out with these girls, and all the others I was able to meet and catch up with over the weekend.

Memorial day weekend was a blast! It was packed full of parties and exploring with friends!

Saturday, Chrissy and I hung out at Coulon park to catch some rays...then we went to the cheesecake factory for lunch. It was a beautiful day and we were camped right next to a greek picnic complete with a pig roasting!

That night we went to a party at our friend Ben's, who is moving away. We saw a ton of people we hadn't' seen in a long time and had a blast!

Sunday was a boring but much needed study day.....until the evening when I met Holly and Deb for a movie. I stayed up at Holly's and Monday was our scheduled "exploration day". We were going to take a road trip somewhere but wanted to avoid the traffic so stayed in town. We took the longest "urban hike" ever which took us to and through several parks along Lake Washington Blvd. I literally had blisters when we were done but it was so much fun!

The next weekend was full of birthdays! We went with Kristen for her first pedicure and went to The Pink Door for Hollys. It's great to celebrate good friends!

Spring was very full of great friend and great weather!
