A Weekend Away - UPDATED

Last weekend, Lamar and I went to our 2nd Coaches Outreach Retreat. CO is a Bible Study just for coaches and they offer marriage retreats throughout the summer. They have them in several locations including Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Alabama. Last year, we went to New Braunfels and this year we went to Lone Wolf, OK. Our plan is to go to a new one each year...that is, as long as we have someone to keep the girls! The girls went to Camp Gigi while we were gone and had a blast!!!

The happy couple!

During our free time we went paddle boating. It seemed like fun at the time, but it was SOOO hot and there wasn't any breeze at all! This picture is from the dock and we had 30 minutes to make it to a small rock about 200 yards away and come back. It took nearly the whole time to do it!

We also drove to a few of the random small towns (Hobart, Altus, Blair and Roosevelt). We rented a boat Monday afternoon and went to see a movie in the smallest theatre I've ever been inside! There were only about 100 seats in each movie.

We loved our 5 days away, but I've never been so happy to see the sign below! I missed my girls!!!

I had to have my "Walk to Remember" photo. This is the Red River, so I was in 2 places at once - Texas and Oklahoma. I'm a dork, I know!!!

Summer is quickly winding down for me. I go back to work on August 2nd so we'll be cramming in as much fun as possible over the next 2 weeks.

**Updated to add - I met a blog reader IRL (in real life) while at the retreat. Kristy from The Owens Crew and her husband Joe were our small group leaders. It was such a funny moment when she asked "Are you the Kirk Krew?" We laughed and laughed!
