girls' weekend.......

Well, not really. It was actually a MOPS Steering Team retreat, but it sure felt like a girls' weekend. After months of pestering, I mean, politely asking, I finally gave in to Rhonda and agreed to be part of the team. There was a planning weekend scheduled for mid-July and to be perfectly honest, I was kinda dreading it. I didn't know anyone going besides Rhonda and really didn't know what to expect. The day before we left I found out that my cautiously social friend was going with us which made me feel better, but still nervous. As it turns out, I had no need to be. All the girls there were AMAZING. We all just clicked so well. It felt like we had been friends for years instead of just meeting that weekend.



To top off the great time of fellowship and fun, we were able to plan out what I think is going to be a great year of MOPS. I joined mops for the 06-07 year, but was not wildly impressed so I ditched last year. This year however, after praying for God to bring some activites into my world to become involved, the doors to MOPS swung right open. *Apparently I forgot to put the "I'm not crazy about MOPS" stipulation into the prayers. But then again, God is pretty hilarious about that stuff.* So after (reluctantly) joining in, I am super jazzed about the coming year. I'd love for those of you in town to join us! If you're interested, let me know and I would gladly give you the info...........
