The last of Texas

Once we got there it was all about chatting, scrapping and having fun. Friday night everyone seemed to settle in quickly and relax, some of us went to bed at a decent time. Rick was surprised when he got the call at midnight saying that I was off to bed, it was only 10 pm his time. I had a great roomie, Charla! On Saturday we stayed up much later!


That is her on the left and Terry in the middle and me on the right.

I had great table mates, but so some reason I did not take a picture of the table. I did get Lissa being a back up dancer to Tiffany rapping away.


I finally got to meet Ginger


Just after midnight on Sunday morning, I was embellished and treated to a weight watchers snack cake :)

Stacy, Amanda, Kristi, Cara and Lissa :) They know how to make a girl feel special! I made new friends in Alli, Sheri, Joan and Amanda. There are so many to name but I really did have a ball, I learned the following things:

* I learned that no matter how much you pack you will still never get it all done because it is too important to have fun.
* I learned that Joanie an awesome retreat planner!
* I learned that if you rent a U-Haul then it will not rain
* I learned that if someone is green when riding in the car, it is not a good idea to ask questions.
* I learned my butt is smaller and an airplane seat was more comfortable then in February
* I learned that making new friends is FUN
* I learned that I need more girl time
* I learned that Texas is GREEN.
* I learned that 2 am is a great time to talk about beloved family pets.
* I learned that I can be embellished too!

Sarah and I were checking out different shops in town


All in all it was a GREAT retreat, I know I say that about them all, well except that one retreat, but everyone is different and great for different reasons!
