This weekend was so wonderful!

Krista and I spent the weekend at the La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad for women's retreat. We were upgraded to a studio suite with a kitchen, fireplace, giant tub and a washer and dryer. The room was so comfortable and Krista didn't even snore. I didn't sleep well, especially the second night because of a crazy ragin' party that was going on below us but I did have a very relaxing day on Saturday with lunch out, manicures, a bubble bath and a nap.

The meeting times were really nice, too. The speaker ended up losing her notes (her computer deleted them) so instead of talking about the seasons in our life she opened the mic to anyone who wanted to share what season they were experiencing. I was touched by some stories and saddened by others. Saturday we had some more time of sharing, too. All in all, it was a time of connecting with other ladies (in a church of 1200 that's kinda hard) and sharing and encouraging others who are going through the same thing. I know I was encouraged!

On our way home I got to see Joanna. I'm so glad we were able to get together for lunch since I miss her so. We went to the Olive Garden and instead of eating one breadstick like I planned I ate four and dipped them in alfredo sauce. Whatev, that's what my flexi points are for. I honestly don't know if I'll have lost weight this week since it's real hard to eat well outside of my normal routine. I'd say Krista and I make a pretty good weight watchin' pair though. We also went to Border's (since they're closing everything was real cheap) that day. We all know I don't read much so instead of books I got a movie for the kids, a water bottle for Kayley and an address book. I love it when I can get a blue ray for 12 bucks!

I came home to a clean house, no dirty laundry and a detailed car inside and out! I'm blessed in so many ways!

Here's a funny, sideways video just for kicks. For the record my kids were not forced to do this and they are not crying. Just thought I'd clear that up.

Ps. I wrote this post yesterday, weighed in last night and lost weight this week! Woot, woot!
