On The Mountain Top

This past Sunday through Thursday my family and I (including my soon-to-be brother-in-law Tim) went on a retreat to the Castle in Pennsylvania. I've been there twice before, but both times were with the youth group. It was a very nice change to go as a family with the church; we actually had time to relax and enjoy. So, here is the week in pictures:

Monday = Apples to Apples, grilled chicken, beautiful sunset, ping pong, softball, and a nap on the porch swing.

Tuesday = foggy morning, huge antique shop and downtown Franklin, pool and foosball, drawing, Sibley the dog, volleyball, an intense game of Cut Throat, and an adorable little boy worhiping.

Wednesday = A trip to the Chapel, a hike to find the lost Belltower, yet another nap on the porch swing, beautiful views from the Prayer Tower, yummy smores, a warm campfire, and incredible sunset clouds.

That's Why It's Called A Puzzle!

After one long month of hard work, I have finally finished a 2000 piece puzzle. Yeah...I started it on July 11th, and I just finished it today. A couple of times I wondered why it had to be so difficult, but then I remember that that's why it's called a puzzle. I'm supposed to be "puzzled" by it! But, I'll tell you, putting that last piece in today was awesome!

And just to show you how big it is:

But, IT IS FINISHED!!!!!!!!!
