Women's Retreat!!

This past weekend I went on a retreat with the women at our church up to Twin Peaks (which is just below Lake Arrowhead). This was the first one I have gone on--and it was amazing. I left Friday afternoon and came home Sunday afternoon. Mike had the weekend off so I didn't have to worry about the kid's, which was nice.

This is two of my amazing close friends from church and me when we arrived on Friday.

The weekends focus was on having a "New Attitude". Everything we do in life is affected by our attitude and how we choose to react to the different things that happen. We can hold on to the bad things that have come our way and live a miserable and hurtful life, or forgive and let go, like our Savior did for us.

It was so peaceful and quiet. To relax and be able to focus on His will in my life and not have any interruptions.

This was our group:

On the way down the hill we stopped for lunch and one last deep breath before going home. This is what I arrived to:

The kids came running out gave me a HUGE hug and told me they missed me. The house was spotless and even the bathrooms were totally clean. The laundry was done. It was so peaceful and nice to just lay and talk with my hubby and and kids-------then things went back to our CrAzY lifestyle about 45 minutes later.

However, I wouldn't change it for anything. I am so blessed to have a great husband who would do anything for me and my kids who think of me and are very thoughtful. They may have their fights and messes around the house, but I was blessed to have children and they are my world. I thank God for that everyday!!
