Well had an absolutely fantastic trip to Saskatchewan. The kids at the retreat were a bit challenging to get to let loose, but they totally did. The evaluations were amazing too. It's awesome to actually KNOW you did something good, instead of just hoping a lot of the time.
Coming home was tough... it was a long drive. Michelle was great though... we were both super tired and stuff, but it was funny cuz we were both pretty giddy and so EVERYTHING was funny. Helped pass the time well. The only real tough stretch was from Brooks to Calgary. Then its the post retreat low. They're always kinda tough. You go from a beautiful place where you are inspiring and being inspired, singing, having fun, and can almost tangible feel the presence of God, to the burdens of your daily life. I crashed pretty hard on sunday night and kinda took it out on Erin a bit. I felt really bad about that, so now I have make sure I just treat her with all the more love (hey, and then I'm applying something I got out of the weekend too!).
Yesterday hit Sunshine with Aaron. It was good to see him before he left. He is the original adventure buddy. It's great to have someone you can totally just bullshit with, but also enjoy the outdoors, be challenged on the ski hills (alas, the student has long surpassed the teacher in that one) and have good serious conversations too. It did good to lift my spirits. Unfortunately, I was also super tired last night, so I was a little anti social at Lauren's birthday... but she knows I was skiing, so I'm sure she understands.
Anyway, that's life in a nutshell. I gotta get caught up on work now. Stay tuned for a couple of talks published on here in the next day or two.
