Couple's Retreat, 2011

This year we were so blessed, once again, to be able to attend our church's 2nd annual couple retreat! This year we got away for 2 night's instead of just 1 and it was Heavenly!

Our cool Asian like hotel we stayed at the first night before heading out to the resort. It had a huge shower/tub room with 2 huge shower heads--it was like a sauna! 
No date night would be complete without Starbucks. ;) Lately I've been getting into coffee more and love Americano's! I get them with 3 splenda's and a little bit of skim milk--perfect!

The following morning we woke up to a winter wonderland! In TX this is very, very, very rare. The snow actually lasted well into the afternoon which was also a miracle. :)


When we arrived at the resort where the retreat was held, we were given a packet with different relationship activities to do if we wanted. We did a few and it was awesome! So nice to spend time learning more about our likes, dislikes, needs and wants.

Of course no getaway would be complete without a few pictures of us.... ;)




Friday evening after the service, (which was awesome by the way--fun games, lots of laughs, amazing speaker!) we went to the bakery where Nate bought me this salted caramel chocolate tart. Anyone who knows me well knows I have a weakness for all things salted and caramel, not to mention chocolate. It was amazing.

 The resort is amazing. On Saturday, we walked around for quite a bit, talking and laughing and having a great time.
                                        
Of course, we were very happy to get back to our kiddos on Saturday evening. :) We bought them chocolate rock candy that they loved!
   

It looked like real rocks, so cool!


It was an awesome weekend. I'm so happy we got to go and I'm already looking forward to next year :)
