Our ward had a retreat this past Friday night up at Mutual Dell. A group of us went up together for dinner and a program. We had the option to spend the night but I didn't want to sleep on the floor and we had the ballroom competition the next day. I am glad that I went and got to spend some time with my friends. Parts of me wishes I had stayed.
Here is Angela handing out rewards for the get to know you game we played when we arrived.

Michelle getting ready to show us a movie that they had made of some of the sisters. It turned out really well! I really enjoyed watching everyone.

This is Kate. She is my visiting teacher/friend/backyard neighbor/person I borrow stuff from. Jill my amazing friend. After I took this I said "Uh oh, Kate your eyes were closed"

So we tried again and I wasn't sure eyes were open.

I would love to have a shot of everyone that night. I don't think the women of my ward know how much they mean to me. I feel so blessed to have them in my life and to call them friends. We have the best group of ladies ever!

I couldn't agree more! I have felt so blessed since I moved in this ward and have met all you wonderful ladies! It was a great night! Hopefully we can do the sleepover thing sometime...I really think it could be dangerously fun :D
The sleeping on a concrete floor wasn't so great but Rees' morningside program was GREAT!
