I am back!

I had a blast! I am going to post pics later. I went to Camp's Friedenswald in Cassapolis, Michigan to an ALL women's retreat. I went my mom, sister, and two aunts. We got there about 6pm on Friday, we left about 2pm on Sunday. The weather was wonderful. The food was delicious. However, the reason that I go every year is the MONUMENTAL amount of peace I feel whenever I go. I can go and just relax, free my mind all of worries, and just relax. One of the things I do, when I am there is walk down to the lake and just reflect on life. I just feel closer to God, whenever I am there. I can really feel his presence when I am there. Also, I love the fellowship. I am there with a wonderful and compassionate group of ladies young and old. It gets me totally out of my comfort zone.

I also, love being around my sister and my mom. We have so much fun together. There is no television or radio, so you are your own entertainment. My sister, My mom, and I usually laugh and talk all night. There are a group of ladies who scrapbook, and we get together and crop. I did not do any layouts, but I did however alter a lunch box and clipboard, will take pics and post that too!

On Saturday, we go into Shipshewana, IN (Amish Country) for shopping. We usually by cheese, Unkers(remedy for everything), scrapbook shopping, to the pie house, and other shops. One of the treats, is the Homemade Ice Cream, from the Amish! It is sooooo good. Just like how my grandma used to make!

Saturday night, we make a campfire, pop popcorn in those huge pots, and sing songs. Saturday night, we have a party, everyone brings a dish and this year the food was so great!

Sunday, we fellowship, and then we go home. I come home stress free with a new pep in my step. It's just a really refreshing time.... I came home and now we are house hunting. My landlord wants to sell his place, we were moving anyway, but not thinking about it so soon, so I will be moving. Iam hoping to stay in the area so that the children can all attend the same schools, but will update about that later.

Just wanted everyone to know I am home and I had a blast!
