Tim came to visit me this weekend. It was great fun. We watched PrisonBreak till my eyes fell out. That translates to about 8 or 9 episodes. And I'm still not done. It's always nice to see familiar faces from home on the East Coast. I get to see Laura and Brian next weekend in NY =].

So here's a much belated picture update of Jubilee's EM retreat at Kenbrook. Which I did not watch PrisonBreak at, but it was still great fun.




Worship team...minus Dan because he was too far away to fit into the picture




Cafeteria where we ate our meals. Food was actually pretty good.




Jubilee kids playing in the dining area




We played the most random games ever. In this game, half an oreo was placed on the forehead of each of these finalists, and they had to get the oreo into their mouth without touching it at all.




Coffeehouse! Definitely one of my favorite parts of the retreat. We all gathered downstairs, and there were blankets, pillows, and candles laid out for us. Everyone had their own pillow, and we signed other peoples', writing messages of encouragement. And at the front of the room anyone could come up and share something with the group through song, instrument, poem, etc. A truly wonderful time of fellowship.




People chilling around




Steve and Justin performing a song




Dan (sitting) and David (with guitar). I like this picture a lot...really just how it captures David's thoughtfulness. Candids are awesome.




Dan (left) and Joe (right) performing a song




Austin (in blue) and Chrysen (in brown). Aw, I like these kids =]. This picture along with the one of Dave and Dan are my two favorite pictures from the retreat.



So that was the retreat in a nutshell. I actually have an enormous amount of work to do tonight since I didn't do any at all yesterday or today, but I figured if I didn't update now I would never do it. Good to know I have my priorities straight. I was supposed to do tons of catching up on my research yesterday, but that never happened for the obvious reason that Tim visited. But this weekend was really good for me...I forgot what it was like to just forget about work for a day and enjoy the company of friends =].

Many things to do this week before fall break. It's gonna be a long, hard week. Just gotta keep on truckin. Have a good one guys.
