This weekend, I am going away. All. By. Myself. Oh, and two of my dear friends (Jess and Marina) and a bunch of other ladies. We are heading up to McCall, ID for Women's Retreat! I have never left my two youngest overnight. Ever. I am SO excited, but a little uneasy. Our littlest is weaned, so she is no longer dependent on me. She is pretty much sleeping through the night. Our middle-man has a fever and cold today, and am hoping that the worst is over. Our oldest is such a helper, so dad shouldn't have any issues with her around helping!
What am I going to do with myself? I will be able to eat hot, delicious meals, converse with adults, drink hot espresso concoctions for the pure enjoyment and not for the necessity, sleep through the night without interruptions, shop, zip-line again, read, and the list goes on! I am very excited to listen to our guest speaker, dig into the Word, and get refreshed and revived. Moms/wives need time away from their kids and family so they can come back better, happier people. I can't wait for this weekend, and I hope my kids and husband can reap the benefits of letting me get away for the weekend!

Oh, I hope you come back feeling so refreshed! I've done that a couple of times and I always feel so happy when I get back; rested, but glad to see everyone!
