I just went on a 4 day scrapbook retreat and had the time of my life!!
Thanks to Brittianey for coming with me! And Tyler for handing over the moolah, and watching the kids. Oh and Wendy and Wyatt for watching the kids too. Oh and Tim for helping Tyler get the potaotes and driving back with Lincoln ALL BY HIMSELF. At the gas station, uncle Timmy even got the girls m&m's. Isn't that so cute?! Such a good uncle. Tyler never even gets the kids a treat, he usually just scarfs down a Mtn. Dew (which he has convinced the girls will give them a mustach if they drink ... they will NOT touch pop now, great thinking Tyler!) and some corn nuts. But anyway, back to the retreat.
4 days of heaven on earth. 1 million freebies and I got SO much done. Brittan took such good care of me. I only cried twice while I was gone. I missed my kids so much. Even though my life is a crazy circus every single day, those kids are my whole life.
Brittan gave me all her leftovers, and even let me peek at her albums to steal ideas. EVERYONE was raving about how cute her albums were, and how amazing she was and how she'd made so many. Literally, every person there stopped to tell her how good she was doing. She just might be the most creative person I know...really.
The scrapbook store that provided the getaway is my favorite store, and I'm now a forever customer. They even put ear plugs (which Brittianey used EVERY night ... uh, sorry) and little soap on our pillows, and mints every night. The flew in a lady from Oregon who cooked amazingly the whole time. We seriously ate like kings. It was such great fun. I hope I can go again sometime. Any takers? Brittianey, we should go again ... but maybe not for another year. They're already planning another on this April.
