Girl time rules!!!

Bek and I have returned from our scrap retreat. We had a GREAT time. We went with a group of 12 ladies, most of whom we didn't know, and stayed in a resort home in Sunriver. What a BEAUTIFUL place. The homes were gorgeous, the weather was nice, Sunriver was absolutely charming and it was just a great weekend.

We arrived Friday afternoon and did a little last-minute grocery (aka: chocolate and other munchies) shopping before heading to the house we were staying it. Bek and I were first to arrive and spent the first 1/2 hour in awe walking around this beautiful home. It was a 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home, beautifully decorated and just absolutely perfect. We set up our tables and spread out our piles and piles of supplies and got to work. About an hour in we remembered that we hadn't picked up any alcohol. What's a girls weekend without a bit of girly drinks? So we headed to the store again for some alcohol. While buying our Mike's hard cranberry lemonade (yum) Bek and I got hit on by some toothless fellow, which made our day... or not. Apparently they aren't used to seeing too many girls or something because all the hunters there were gawking at us. And it isn't because we are such striking beauties either. It was just W I E R D. But we scored our alcohol and headed back to scrap the night away. We took a break to soak in the hot tub for a while. It was so relaxing and beautiful. 20 degrees outside but warm in the hot tub, absolutely clear skies and just filled with stars.

We headed to bed about 3:30 and sat up talking until 4am. Bek and I shared a room and I got to sleep in a bunk bed for the first time since I was 10 years old. Good thing it was sturdy! LOLSaturday morning we got up at 8:30 then decided to try to find the Sunriver Mall. Apparently the GPS was playing tricks on us because it kept making us go down a road, turn around, go down another road, turn around, go down another road, turn around, etc, etc, etc. But we finally made it to the mall to look around. We had coffee (or a vanilla steamer in my case, since I don't like coffee) at quite possibly the worst place ever. It was in a bakery with great pastaries but the man making coffee had NO idea what he was doing! Afterwards we went shopping at the used book sale, the little booths put up in the commons area and some of the nearby stores. I got a leather jacket for me and little red leather purse for Carissa. After shopping for a while we headed back to the house to scrap. We scrapped on and off through the day, enjoyed a few blenders full of frozen raspberry margaritas (so yummy!) and took another late night dip in the hot tub. We cleaned all of our stuff up before going to bed at 2:30 am.

We were up at 7am this morning and took off by 8:30am. We were both ready to get going but could have happily stayed one more day to scrap. We stopped by Trillium Lake (so beautiful!) near Mt. Hood and got a few great pictures there. Then we came home to our hubbies and kids. It was a great time and so relaxing and wonderful. I'm glad I went and had Becky there with me. Girl time rules!!!
