Women's Retreat

We had our church's Women's Retreat this weekend and it was wonderful. My friend Sarah was the committee chair and she asked me to do decorations. I was excited about the opportunity but a little nervous as well.  I had never been to our retreat before so I didn't really know what to expect. While the process of deciding how to decorate and shopping was stressful at times, mainly because of doing MJ stuff as well and just trying to find the time. It ended up working out really well and I had a lot of fun in the process!
Our speaker was Cynthia Heald and the main focus of the retreat was "rest". Something I need to learn about :) I decided to decorate each table with a way that someone would find rest, since we all find it differently I came up with 8 different ways.

Reading

 Painting/crafts

 Gardening

 Sewing/Knitting

 Baking/Cooking

 Beach (my personal resting place)

 Exercise

 Spa

 Then I had to decorate the stage

It was a wonderful weekend with friends and it was so nice to relax!

FUN.

And since I seem to not be able to stay away from Nashville...

We went back on Sunday for the FUN. concert with Nick and Casey!

Just to prove we stayed at a Super8 hotel against my wishes...

I am terrified of outdoor motels

but we survived :)

 The concert was at the Woods Amphitheater at the Fontanel

We toured the Southern Living house and walked around the property before the concert started!

 Really cool place for a concert!

 Awesome Concert!

We got home Monday night and went to see
Foreigner at Live at the Garden

Disney on Ice

We took Ramsey to Disney on Ice tonight!
She got to see Belle, Ariel, Merida and Rapunzel!

Nashville Fun

Mom and I took the girls to Nashville for the weekend to stay at Peppy's. 

I got to visit with my friends Stephanie and Amy for a Matilda Jane show and Ramsey and Reese spent the weekend playing with their cousins.

 Saturday night Paige, Michael and I got free tickets to Blake Shelton from my friend Stephanie. 

We had a lot of fun!

 On our way home we stopped in Jackson to see Meemo and Dada, Susu, Chris and Ashlee!

Jonathan took me to Vegas for my Birthday! 

So. Much. Fun!

 We arrived on my birthday and Jonathan had reservations at Tao. After dinner we met up with our friends, Erica and Micah and had a fun night on the strip!

 Friday we hung out at the pool, went shopping then met up again with the Millers for dinner at burGR and the Cirque de Soleil show, "O". I was amazed! 

Saturday we walked the strip and checked out all the casinos and did a little gambling!

 

Went to Madame Tussauds

Our last night we went to Battistas for dinner!

What a fabulous and exhausting trip!
