Farmhouse Fun: A Weekend @ The Grand

One thing that has been a huge blessing in my life has been our church. When we first got married we lived in TN and had a really hard time finding a church that we really loved and felt comfortable in. When we moved to MS I had the fear that we would never find anything UNTIL we came across Highlands. We knew someone that worked there and they invited us to come and the rest is history.

This weekend I had the opportunity to go on the women's retreat to The Grand in Fairhope, AL. The theme of the weekend was Shape of our Lives. It was wonderful! She reminded us that every phase of our life has shaped who we are and who we will be(SO TRUE). Every women in the room had a different "story" and it was so wonderful to hear some of the stories.

I had a blast hanging out with some of my best friends, without kids (which makes a huge difference). Thanks to our husbands, we got to stay for an extra night and enjoy Fairhope for an extra day.

Car buddies!

Diane was AMAZED at the grass and flowers. Seriously though, Fairhope is a beautiful town and most seems perfect.

Diane and her flowers!

This was the view from our room. OMG. Beautiful! Somehow the rest of the group got put in a different building and we were in the spa building. NOT complaining. At. All.

ME, Diane and the view!

The theme verse was "I am the potter, you are clay..." On Friday night we had a local potter come and show us some of her skills and we even got to practice. It was fun!
