the Hanging Log


We went to our first couples retreat last weekend with a couple of communities (Sunday school classes) from our church. The location was beautiful, and it was so nice to get away from everyday life and talk about marriage. Our pastor spoke and we got to visit with several couples which was really nice...we got beyond the small talk. The meals were not superb, the matresses were hard (on the twin beds we slept on), and the shower was tiny. But we had a great time and had a lot of laughs. Saturday night, the staff at the place we were staying hung a log from the ceiling and put matresses underneath it. You could sit on the log with another person and have a pillow fight. M and I both did this although not with each other. It was hysterical! There was also a hill for tubing. M did this a couple of times while I took pictures. I should have gone down it myself.


Max stayed with our neighbors while we were gone. They spoiled him so I'm sure he had a good weekend. We were told he spent a total of 3 hours from Thursday night until we picked him up on Sunday afternoon in his crate.

It looks like y'all had a really fun weekend. I've been wanting to go to a marriage conference for years. Ours is wonderful now, but I'm sure it can always improve. :) Anyway, it sounds (and looks) like it was great. And how blessed you are to have such sweet neighbors to take care of Max. :)
