My Weekend!!

So, I have to go on this “Staff Retreat” for work. There are 7 of us that are going to a place just outside of Lake Texoma. We are leaving today and coming back on Wednesday. I went last year with them, even though I was only part time staff. It is a lot of fun, but this time I don’t want to go! I don’t know what my deal is, but I don’t want to leave my husband. I don’t like being 2 hours away. What if something happens? I know, I always think the worst! I know this sounds sappy……but I can’t stand to be away from him! He is my everything. I am going to miss him so much. I am sure I will be writing on this blog the whole time I am gone from him. I have brought plenty of things to do to keep me busy when we are not meeting. Oh yeah, and I have been having nightmares EVERY single night, so now when I have them, I will be in a hotel room all alone!! Guess what? There are no TV’s in the rooms so I brought Eli’s laptop & plenty of non-scary movies!!! Oh well, if I get scared, I will go knock on everyone else’s door and wake someone else up! Don’t think I won’t, because I will in a heart beat. I will go wake Connie, the mom of the group up!

Let me tell you about our group…….there is Connie (Office Manager), the mom of the group! She just came in here and told me to clean up my desk before we leave. J She also makes sure everyone goes to the doctor. She is always looking out for everyone. I love her to death! It would be a blessing to call her my mom any day. Then there is Susan (Music Director)! She is like the crazy Aunt! You CANNOT be in a bad mood around Susan, she is hilarious! She always has a solution for every problem.
I think she is the funniest person I know. I love her to death too! Then there is Sean (Youth Director), he is my brother from another mother! He is like the brother I never had! He is great. I can talk to him about anything….even chick stuff. Then there is Barbara (Financial Secretary). She is like an older, smarter sister. She is awesome. Then there is me! The “young one” that knows nothing. These people always talk about things that happened in the 1800’s and I never know what they are talking about. I am the CRAZY KID of the bunch, always joking around! Finally, we have the mom & pop of the group. David & Joy (Pastor & Director of Christian Education & his wife). They are the ones always TRING to keep us in line! It never works. We are a tough bunch of people. We joke all the time and call ourselves “The Great Big Dysfunctional Family”. I am truly blessed to work in such a great place with amazing people. The one thing that I will take from this job, if I ever leave, will be the great FRIENDS I have made here. They will ALWAYS be in my life! ALWAYS! As different as we are…..we are all on the same page…..WE LOVE GOD!!!!

Ta Ta for now!!! (TTFN; that’s for Susan)
