What a great weekend. We took our group of ten up to Lake Burton in the North Georgia mountains to a beautiful home that was so graciously offered to us for our retreat. The board family was so sweet to open up the home and it was just wonderful to have time away. Got to bond with the other leaders and staff. Of course we ate really well and we all know that is all important in the guy world so that was great. We played with lots of the water toys, Matt and I took our ladies in a canoe ride which was fun. Also got to do some water skiing, some rope swinging, some water balloon launching, some high diving, frisbee catching, and some general lounging before having to pack up and head home.
One of the best things about the weekend was that we played a great get to know you game Friday night. We all had to write down a fact about ourselves that no one else knew. I really struggled because I wanted my fact to be fun and amusing and I kept thinking that Lu would know all of the facts I kept coming up with so I had to think of something good. Then we all had to write down who we thought the fact was about as they were read aloud. Surprisingly both Lu and I wrote down facts about teeth, but I didn't get hers right and she missed mine too. The fun twist was the number of facts you got wrong, meant you had to answer that many questions from the group. It was lots of fun and we got some really good questions and learned fun things about both the people asking the questions and the people answering them. Best fact of the night, one of the leaders judges people by their bumper stickers and then decides to let them over or not. Awesome!
It was a great time with good friends, so thankful for the time.
Random fact, saw Nick Saban's lake house from the water. It was huge and looked awesome, I know were a good portion of his Alabama money went to...
