Winter Wonderland...

I thought it was about time I shared with you some of our winter retreat season. Ryan has been living on the ski hill as most of you know. He LOVES it...who knew!?!?! He finds it a blessing to encourage the groups that are coming in as they attempt to learn something that can be very intimidating to most. It is always such a great feeling of accomplishment for them when they finally come down the hill on their own!! :) He also has been giving cross country ski lessons and working as a retreat host. Next weekend is his big debut in the camp kitchen...his menu will be served on saturday and sunday! I have been blessed recently to speak with over 150 teenage girls about their "identity in Christ" and where they need to be looking for real acceptance. I was overwhelmed with the girls that came to me with their struggles afterwards. I have also been helping out at the front office and in the stores. We are really enjoying the winter season here at Camp Forest Springs!!

On the road again!!

Here we are...on the road again. This week Ry and I are touring colleges in southern Michigan and in Indiana. It has been amazing discovering all these new campuses and their unique characteristics. We are traveling with three other LTD and one missionary staff...it is always so very interesting spending a week in a 12 passenger van and sleeping in guest homes with a group of people. Let's just say we all got a little squirrly around Wednesday night!!! Here is a few pics to share with you all...

Day Date!!

Today Ryan and I officially took a time out!! We are currently in Wausau on a "day-date"!! This weekend was crazy busy. We haven't had more than ten minutes each day to talk to each other since last Thursday. Winter season can be a bit crazy around here! So, we are currently cozied in at Barnes and Nobles, drinking coffee, and reading books!! I can't think of anywhere else I would want to be...or with anyone else in the whole world!!
