Reset
This past weekend I attended the C4 Women's getaway which was called Reset.
It was held at Fair Havens in Beaverton which made the location perfectly (almost) halfway between Shaye and I. So, we attended together.
We met at the McDonalds Friday night and had some dinner before heading to register / find our rooms, partake in the first main session of the weekend, connect in small groups and then Chocolate Fondu!
Let's just say we were up until about 1:30 pm. (Every night). So, my sleep didn't get reset. I will mention however that the room we got was one of the best rooms. Similar to a hotel room. Two double bed and a washroom with shower. From what I hear, most got a single bunk bed with two shared bathroom/showers for about 20 people. So we definitely scored there!
Saturday morning I got up for the boot camp. We ran, we did squats, and more until we felt it. (It is Monday... I still feel it). I was glad for the shower in our room after this.
Then we had an amazing breakfast, another main session which included singing, a lesson which was followed by a breakdown into small groups, and then lunch.
My plan was to reset that sleep thing but the reality was that I went to learn about mosaic tiles (and make my own which is a little more fun than tiling a bathroom, I can assure you). Then I went to learn how to pull, twist and taste "Tire Ste-Catherine". Or taffy that was similar to Halloween kisses.
There was about half an hour before dinner so we did have some time to just sit and chat but sleep didn't happen.
The food was so great! Perhaps it was because I didn't have to cook or clean, but it was seriously good.
After dinner there was another main session where some brave women shared their life stories. We took these inspiring stories and then broke into our small groups where we talked until the wee hours of the morning. During this time we also enjoyed a taco dip snack that was quite enjoyable!
Shaye brought Fun Dip which was a sugar snack that we enjoyed many times when we were campers at Hermosa together. It was fun to have her there with me!
Sunday morning I had to leave right after breakfast so that I could watch the kids and Brian could get to the airport for work but I felt satisfied with my weekend away.
I am not sure I have done that in about 9 years. I mean I have left the kids with Brian or other family members for a night for a wedding or other things but not an entire girls weekend get away. It was nice. Despite the rain/snow.
Yup... snow. On May 15th.
Crazy!
