The Varelas

I'm leaving after work today for our church's weekend Women's Retreat. It's up at Forest Home this year like it was last year. Last year, we had a neat set of 3 nice-ish cabins, but I don't think we got those this year...so bunk beds, here we come! I’m not expecting too much out of this weekend, really. The one last year was OK, but the most fun part about it was that my good friend C went, and she and I got to know each other really well. She was supposed to go this year but dropped out a few weeks ago, but Amy and Lissa (the only other 2 marrieds without kids besides C and me at church) are going. The 3 of us are driving up together this evening after work. But the retreat itself was just OK last year--the girl who led the music was all about making sure we heard how pretty her voice is (she brought a microphone even though there were only about 20 of us there) and the teaching was very shallow (more just a lot of stories and no meat). We’ll see if it’s better this time.
