- dp went on our church's mens retreat up in lake arrowhead. he had a wonderful time and really bonded and met a handful of new guys that he can now have fellowship with. i'm glad for him since he has been wanting to more "wild at heart" doing man-ly things (ie. paintballing, rock climbing, etc.) i don't have a problem doing them with him, but it's just different doing them with men.
- while dp was out, i was able to have some wonderful girl time. had some sleepovers, dinner with the gals, watched a chick flick (that dp would've hated), and simply enjoyed the company of some lovely women.
- this past weekend marked our first weekend together (without having to report to work at 3pm until 9/10pm). it was awesome and boy did i loveeeee it. back to normalcy, yay!
- in the past month i have also begun a new project- quilting!!!! yes- me- quilting, hehe. with a past co-worker, we are making a cool looking Asian-themed quilt that dp and i will use to hang above our bed. i've included a pic... it's almost done. doesn't look too cool in this form though.
other news... dp and i are volunteering in the youth ministry at our church. dp has been attending a few of their functions, whereas i became available yesterday to join since i'm free in the evenings. dp is co-facilitating the junior high boys' life group and i am with the fresh/soph girls. we are both 1-2 meetings in, but boy are we overjoyed with the experience. i'm thankful that i can utilize my gifts in this capacity and be a part of this experience.
