SO this was actually a surprisingly good weekend!! I have been looking forward to the C&C retreat for quite a while (i booked it back in like March), but wasn't really into actually doing any work for it... some call me lazy... they're prob right! But anyhoo...i was also pretty discouraged, because for some reason, we had a pretty small group who signed up for it, in comparisson to our usual 45.
I don't really know why, there are many reasons out there, but i was down about it on Friday that we were meant to go. Turns out tho', that we had a terrific speaker in Rosemary and i really felt like i learned a lot from her. Also, since we were out on a farm (Rosthern Youth Farm), we got to go horseback riding! I haven't riden for AGES (*i know.. *GASP*... sorry beloved relatives!) and i had an AWESOME time! i got the horse that likes to run, which, due to my need for speed, suited me just fine!
This is a pic of Ryan, the ultimate cowboy, who doesn't know how to ride! He did a really good job, and i love this pic. something about the clouds especially. 
We had some others who were big fans of the horseriding, but others who really preferred the little ones... hehe. just kidding - pretty much everybody went out, and had a really good time. 
Finally, a weekend just wouldn't be retreat without some horsing around ('scuse the pun) with dangerous weapons. I think we've decided that Anna is the most responsible, and i am NOT an archer! Christine is also a little scary looking, make sure you don't get in her way!
And this is just a cute pic of anna and i... aww! We've been friends for such a long time, but i don't think we actually have any pics of us together except for when we're travelling. AND the THOUSANDS of wedding pics.EEK. Evan says i didnt' smile in about 700 of them. OOPS. So all in all, it was a good weekend - good talks, yummy food, good trampolining (and backflips :)), horsies, worship, games, walks, movies and playing in the park.
Hope your weekend rocked too!
