Re: retreatWhat kind of retreat? Usually when I attend a retreat I take my Bible, a pen, and a notebook. Then again, most of the retreats I've attended included a list of what to take along with the registration information. Did you check there?

Re: retreati wish i were staying overnight! i have a month old and i'm not sure if he will take a bottle. which kinda makes me sad, i hear rumor of some awesome margaritas i will have to miss out on.:cry: oh well. yeah, i get to drive the 45 min drive back and forth all 3 days.

as for my mood... hehehe that is more just my sense of humor that is twisted... i found twisted in the mood options and it made me smile... so, naturally i HAD to have it b my mood.

Re: retreatI'll be there tonight and tomorrow!!
It sounds like we just need to bring some paper for notes as they have workshops planned all day tomorrow. Tonight there is a workshop with Amy Neal from HO for future directors and above and then a meet and greet with snacks and drinks, so I would bring a snack and drink tonight. (They said they are making margaritas, but you can bring whatever you want to drink.)
I'm looking forward to meeting some of the consultants in the area and sharing some great ideas!
See you there!

i'm looking forward to meeting more consultants in the area as well. i won't be showing up until 7:30. i think that is the earliest consultants can arrive. hmmm.. i need to call my director, she said something about car pooling, but i don't know exactly what she was talking about.... i guess i now have an excuse to make those taffy apple tartlets... i just hope i don't zone so badly i fall asleep.. my tolddler and infant run me ragged! i'm always so tired lately... par forthe course i guess... paper, pen, snack... ok... i'll try to find the no doze... thanks JKinAK and Kelly! See you there!
