A HUME weekend with the Girls



Oh how I have missed Hume Lake....6 girls headed up this past Friday for our first ever women's retreat. It was different to be there and not be with highschoolers, but it was a glorious time. God's beauty never ceases to amaze me up there and it is so refreshing to truly "get away." Our group consisted of...my sister Toni, Christina, Melanie, Hannah, and Jessica. We all came together in a random way, but we had a blast together and shared many times of laughter. We were filled with worship, messages, and talks about God's grace in our lives. Friday night the snow started and it was perfect. Everything was beautiful and we had a great time playing in the freshly fallen snow. Saturday we enjoyed some meetings, a hike through freshly fallen snow, the screamer, quiet times, delicious food, and a picture perfect landscape. Sunday we woke to more snow and discovered we were only getting down the mountain with chains (which we didn't have). After much help from the Hume staff, they found us a pair of chains which we only had to pay $25 for, they put them on for us, and we started our trek down the mountain. Toni drove like a champ and the camp had men along the way to make sure we were safe and to help with chains. We were more than taken care of. It was so fun to be back at Hume and it made me very excited for our 2 week vacation there this summer as a family. I treasure this time I got to spend with some amazing girls and escape life down the mountain. Andy had a great weekend with the kids and he did so many fun things with them. He is a great daddy and husband and he helped make this weekend possible for me. I can't wait to head up the mountain next year with some girls to be refreshed and enjoy God's beautiful creation!
