This past weekend, Tommie and I had the pleasure of accompanying our youth group to Divide, Colorado, for their winter retreat! Tommie led worship and I just got to go with Liliana. We definitely live in a beautiful part of the country. Part of me still misses my home in the South though....but pictures like this make me more at home here in CO. Here's what Divide looked like on our drive home on Sunday:
2.) I'm MixedObviously, I'm not actually mixed. There was a girl at the camp though who was in my small group who was AWESOME at braiding hair. I got her to do mine and then subsequently had to answer questions as to whether or not I was mixed. She said she thought I was Puerto Rican. So there ya go.
3.) Liliana's A LumberJane
Lili had thee awesome chance to wear this sweet blue vest that Kristin got her for Christmas. If you'll notice, she's wearing coordinating blue snow boots as well. It was rather cold out though, so her face doesn't quite express how much fun she had wearing this vest...in fact, it doesn't really express any amount of fun, rather anger at being awake and cold when she should have been warm and napping.
4.) From Snow to Surf in Under an HourThat's right, Liliana got to swim for the first time this weekend! At first, for about the first 3-4 minutes, she wasn't so sure she liked it. After that though, her smiles were HUGE as I imagine she thought she was in a giant bathtub. The water, despite being "heated", was a little bit chilly, so we got out after about 15 minutes. It was still awesome though.
Those are all the pictures I'm going to share from this weekend, but suffice it to say, we had an amazing time. The kids in the youth group are amazing and definitely are growing in Christ. We also had a great time getting to know the youth leaders, most of whom are our age and in our lifegroup (bi-weekly community group). I even had the chance to lead one of the small groups and remembered how much I truly love working with youth and kids. I think I might start praying about teaching a Sunday school class or working with the youth on Thursday nights. So, all in all, a wonderful time with wonderful pictures to share!
Enjoy!

I like the braids on you and the vest on Lili.
She be'll one of those awesome surfer/snowboarder combinations no doubt. But a cute one.
There always seems to be at least one person in a crowd who thinks you're Puerto Rican. I never thought you were Puerto Rican. Just that you got much better tans than me.
I think you should definitely work with youth, you have always had some kind of magic with them - the freshmen always loved you as a leader. I think it's one of your gifts, and God could definitely use it in your church I'm sure!
I will hopefully call you today. Yay!
that made me laff so hard. i love the mixed look.
