Pastors & Mates Weekend

1.27.2008 — 4 Comments

Jess and I are settled into our room here at the Three Bears Lodge in Warrens, WI for two nights/three days of Pastors & Mates Retreating!

This place is incredible! We haven’t yet enjoyed the indoor waterpark, but will get to that tomorrow. We’re enjoying getting to know other district pastors and spouses as well as spending some time just as husband and wife! Thanks to Mom & Dad Garrett who are currently house-and-baby sitting back in Mukwonago! What a gift they’ve given us to be just us for these couple of days!

We already miss Ella. Jess said something tonight that was an “Ella-ism” and we both gave each other “Ella-eyes” at the reminder that we didn’t have her joyfulness with us here! This is our first time away from her overnight together and Jess’ first night away from her – ever – in her 21-months of life!

David Holdren is sharing in the ‘general sessions’ tomorrow. Looking forward to the challenges he brings to us.

    Enjoy this time for just the two of you with the fellowship of other ministry couples! You can truely relax knowing that the Garretts have Ella’s best interest and care front and center and they are so experienced with caring for a girl!

    So miss being able to help out too (being so far away)!

    Love, Momma

  3. One word for you: Cannonball!!!!
