Viva la Mexico!

At the end of February I got to go on a little trip to Mexico with my work because we met our goals for the year before.  There are definitely some perks to this job.  It was great.  We spent a four day weekend in Playa del Carmen and it was great.  We sat in some meetings, laid by the pool, played on the beach, did some team building, danced late into the night, and really enjoyed getting to know new people.  It was such a great trip.  I feel so blessed to work where I work and with the people I do.  We had a photographer with us on the trip, so none of the pictures are mine, hence their awesomeness.

See - we really did work. :)

Team building time.  We had to do different challenges to get the pieces of a bike.  Then we had to assemble them and got to give the bike to a kid from a local school.  It was a fun event.

And the whole company

D Town...kind of

This year was my small group girl's last D-Town (Watermark's version of disciple now).  They all had a ton of stuff going on with being important seniors and stuff. :)  So none of them signed up for the weekend, but we ended up crashing Saturday night.  I was glad that I got to spend at least a little of the weekend with my girls.  And we took a few pictures of course...

Bode came back from Chicago to do program.  It was awesome.

Getaway

Every year we go on a retreat with all the girls who lead in student ministries.  It's always one of my favorite weekends.  It is always really chill and relaxing.  Without fail I get to spend time with people who I already know and love and also spend time getting to know new people.  There's something about the bond of people who serve in this ministry - it makes for great friends for sure.

This year we were out at Possum Kingdom lake staying in an amazing house of a Watermark family.  They are always so gracious.  Mel had us do a project with playdo describing where we were spiritually.  Really funny, but it does make you think.  I don't have many pictures, but it was a great weekend.

Photo taken by Jen.  It's pretty.

Ringing in 2012

For New Year's Eve Jen and I had friends over to our house. I drove straight in from my Christmas celebration in Granbury.  We all made food, brought wine, and played fun games.  I love it when our worlds mix.  We introduced Michelle and Charlie to Jen's friends Tiffany and David and it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.  I'm a dork.

Anyway, not much to say about the night, other than it was so much fun to start a new year off with good friends and laughter.  Even looking back, I am so thankful for all my friends.  I didn't take a single picture, so I stole all of these from Charlie.

 Let the games begin!

 Tiffany is fun to watch play games!

Accountability

That's what this post is for.  To hold me accountable for all the things I need to blog about.  So here's a list.  You know how I love lists.  Posts coming soon - I promise.

• New Year's Eve party at the casa (yes, I'm that far behind.  2012 hasn't been blogged at all).
• The Getaway girl's leader retreat
• DTown - that my girls only made a slight appearance at
• Company Trip - Mexico!
• Julie & Marcus' couples shower
• Turning 30
• Spain!!!!
• GAFIA - college girls weekend
• Senior Celebration with my girls at church
• Julie's Bachelorette

So there it is.  I'm seriously behind and ready to start taking back control of my blog.  It looks pretty sad these days!
