What a great experience. The resort we stayed at was BEAUTIFUL. We stayed at the Osthoff Resort. It was very relaxing. Every night Becky and I retreated to the hot tub after our day of bible study and group sessions. It was very nice. We also took a walk around the resort and took pictures of course as well as just hung out in our room with peace and quiet! Took some time to reflect as well as to read, which is something unheard of at home. :-)
We walked away with the relization that we need to take more time for the little things. Cleaning the house, and worrying about what needs to get done next, all day everyday is silly. Our kids are only going to be little once and our life is only so long. Make it the best that it can be! Don't sweat the small stuff. We should be reflecting daily and taking time for the little things in life that are important. To many times a day I am telling Kamryn to just wait so I can get this or that done, when all she wants is some mommy time. In reality I need to stop what I'm doing and listen to her. And give her that time, because one day hopefully not anytime soon, she won't want me. I won't be "cool" to hang out with. lol
We arrived at the retreat Friday night and were back home Sunday afternoon, which doesn't seem like a long time, but Saturday night Becky and I both really missed our kids. On Friday when we left for the retreat we were excited to get a break, but at the same time we missed them the very next night!
We plan on going back again next year and hopefully my sister will join us.
