Even though it's not official, the summer season has started. Lindsey and I have sun burns to prove it! This weekend we got to go the Community Bible Church marriage retreat at the beautiful MO Ranch outside of Kerrville, TX (www.moranch.com).We arrived early on Friday to help set up the rooms and practice because I was in the worship band. Originally there was supposed to be a bonfire for smores but there was a burn ban in effect. Ironically the forcast for Saturday was a bright sunshiny day but of course it turned out to be overcast with slight drizzle. In betweeen the drizzle Lindsey and I made new friends with other young couples from our church. We hiked, played tennis, canoed, and hunted for snacks.
It wasn't until Sunday where Lindsey and I got to swim in the river. The weather was much better for swimming and there was an awesome metal slide that I had been dying to ride. It was at least two stories high and probably built almost forty years ago. It was worth the wait because it skimmed me cross the surface of the icy cold water at least fifteen to twenty feet!
Overall the weekend retreat was exactly what we had needed. The guest speaker was great, the socializing was great, and of course the ranch was very beautiful.
