The ward we are in does a Relief Society Retreat ever year. Last year Amanda and I weren't able to go because of her work schedule and with the kids here. This year she insisted that I go as soon as she gets home (she works closer to home this year so is home before 4). So I arranged a ride with some ladies and went. It was at someone's family cabin out in Schofield. WHAT A CABIN! It was so huge. Luckily I got a bed and didn't have to sleep on the floor! We had a nice dinner and played a game or two, then the presidency gave a little devotional and that was followed by a "talk if you want to" evening. Not really a testimony meeting, but just anything you wanted to say. Many, many sisters had something to say, mostly about the ward and how wonderful everyone is. Some shared a few fun stories and remembrances of retreats in the past. It was fun to listen to them all. Then I was ready for bed! I went to bed, but all the young sisters out in the family room were talking and laughing until the wee hours it seems. Hard to go to sleep! I needed to get home early the next morning and the sister I rode up with was leaving early, so we got up quietly and left before breakfast. There were a couple of sisters that left the night before, and if I ever go again, I will do that and not stay the night. I need my sleep! But it was a fun experience to go and the two younger sisters I rode with are so cute. I enjoyed getting to know them a little better.
My bed...with the quietest roommate ever. I kept listening to make sure she was breathing!
