Getting good at this winter thing..

This weekend I went on a youth retreat with the teens at RBC. It was my first big event with the youth group and my first time meeting many of the kids. The weekend was definitely encouraging for me. The youth here have been very welcoming to me as the Youth Associate so far, and it hasn't been very hard to connect with girls as of yet. Most of the ones I spent time with have been very open and willing to chat. It's been a lot of fun so far. It's hard to believe that I've been here for a week already!

I am also pleased to say that I made it down Elk mountain multiple times on a snowboard and my body is all intact! No broken bones for me. I'm getting good at this winter thing.

One thing that really summed up my weekend, was the fact that when I got home from the retreat yesterday, Tommy had sent me flowers that were waiting here for me. Since we couldn't spend Valentines day together, it was definitely a special gesture. It was really sweet, mostly because I wasn't expecting it, and because they are absolutely gorgeous AND my favorite flower: TULIPS! He did good, and I hope he knows it. I'm so lucky to have him.
