It was a really romantic weekend! And by that I mean I watched a lot of romantic movies while Ryan “got away” at Snow Mountain Ranch up in Granby with the youth group kids.

Yeah, it’s true. I felt like a lonely old spinster, sitting home alone with my little pets, eating junk food and getting teary-eyed while watching movies like Dying Young, Titanic and The Notebook, wondering if I was even being missed (I was).

Okay, so the real truth is that I didn’t make an effort to take Friday and Saturday off of work so I could go on the retreat, too. But I have valid reasons for why I didn’t, including not wanting to be “that girl” at work (since my dad is coming next weekend to ski and I already asked off) and not wanting to wreck my already swollen, sore ankle running around all weekend. So even though it would have undoubtedly been fun and I could have gotten to know the kids and leaders better, I just made the choice to be a party pooper. Every party needs one, right?

But Ryan had a great time and here are a few of the photos from his time there – the location has some amazing views:

So although this was the first weekend we didn’t spend together since we’ve been here, overall we both got to do things we enjoy…even though we were apart.

Love,
Laura
