Small Group Retreat to the mountains

Matt and I are part of a small group at Brown's Bridge Church.  It's so great to "do life together" with 7 other couples that are in the same life stage as us.  We meet every Thursday night in our different homes and  do a bible study together.  This past semester we've just been getting to all know each other.  I'm so glad to be part of a great group of people.  We had a little retreat at Pigeon Forge, TN two weekends ago.  Matt and I drove with Allison and Mike.  It was a great drive and we got to stop and really view the smoky mountains with all the fog.




We got to the huge cabin last and ended up with the worst room.  Matt and I had to stay in a room with queen bunk beds and no windows while everyone else had beautiful views, double shower heads, a jacuzzi in the room, and king size beds.  Needless to say, I was a little bummed to be paying the same price as everyone, but I tried to hold my tongue and go with the flow.  It wasn't that much of a nice vacation for Matt and I.  We definitely slept 10 hours once we got home in our pillow top king mattress!

Saturday afternoon, we headed for a hike in the mountains.  It was beautiful.  We really enjoyed spending time with Denny and Ashley.  After our little hike, we rewarded ourselves with milk shakes.  It was great!

Denny wouldn't get in the water.  It was freezing!

Our drive home on Sunday was uninterrupted with a tire blowout.  Everyone was fine and Matt handled the car so carefully.  He did great!  The tire was completely ruined!


We made it home safely on Sunday afternoon to our babies by 3.  It was a good weekend for bonding with good friends.
