Winter Retreat

We'll try an icy color for this one! I spent my three day weekend chaperoning our church's youth group retreat up to the mountain. I had a great time getting to know the kids. I was using the opportunity of volunteering with the youth group to affirm my decision to teach high school...which now I know that I made the right choice. I even walked away from the weekend learning some things myself, also things about myself and walked away with a new close friend. The only downsides were lack of sleep (long hours and a hard hotel bed) and wow- I never knew how gassy teenage boys could be...then again, I had never been around so many for so long ;o) but I love them anyway! Definitely a great group of both kids and chaperones on the trip!
