Women's Retreat 2009

I'm a little behind but was waiting to get some pics from a CD so I could post here about the Women's Retreat I went to almost 3 weeks ago. There weren't that many scenic pics so most of these are mine. The retreat was wonderful! The theme was Motions 2009 and referred to how we often just go through the motions of life. The theme song was The Motions by Matthew West.

We went to a beautiful ranch up north that was so gorgeous!

Here are few pics from the weekend:

Sunset one night after dinner. I was excited this came out!

There were quite a few ladies...I think there were 112!

B&B Getaway

The weekend of the 14th, I went to our church's annual women's retreat. (blog coming soon) It was up north in the mountains and I came home glowing with how beautiful it was and how great the weather was. The next weekend, Walt woke up on Saturday and wanted to go up north and rent a cabin or stay at a B&B. We looked around and the paper happened to mention the area we were thinking about.

We found a nice place and called...they had availability. It was actually rainy here and up north so not super desirable! We get up there and the weather is so cool and spitting. The B&B was spectacular and we went hiking for 2 hours on Saturday...the cloudy rainy weather was actually refreshing! The next day, we went for a 5.5 hour hike down this rim and then back up! Phew! That was rough but it was such a great accomplishment!

Here are pics from that weekend:

The Oldest Standing School House in Arizona! (located in Strawberry, AZ)

Double rainbow!

So cool to see the entire rainbow!

The beautiful B&B we stayed at! (Up the Creek B&B in Strawberry, AZ)
The B&B was described as a modern farmhouse...very comfy!


Our room was called the Sunset Glow room as it had a balcony where you could watch the sunset. It was beautiful.



The Sunset...it was cloudy but still beautiful! Now if I could've removed that poll...ha ha!

The rain was fresh and cool! (Look at the beautiful scenery!)

We watched the sunset and sunrise...this is after sunrise and the neighbor's cows got onto the B&B property! The gate was left open and we saw them in the front yard...cows will be cows!

Breakfast Banana Split!

Breakfast was delicious!
