Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and so many others have not been doing this week!
The weekend was not filled with fellowship, worship, affirmation or good times...not at all, not with these girls...
...or these girls either...
We did not have three wonderful days listening to great music...
...with Matt Redman, worship leader
...Natalie Grant
...and hanging out with singers Christy Nockles
...and Plumb
{Do not laugh at my expression...I should let you know that these were not taken well into midnight! We were not like school girls, staying up late every night, shopping and hanging out with such inspirational moms!}
The Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, TN is not the biggest, most beautiful hotel I've ever been in...and I certainly did not get my excercise {and a few blisters} walking around it's glorious grounds, steps and pathways for three days!
I am not extremely thankful for the wonderful MOPS International organization who prepares for thousands of moms to come together for this experience...
...and for Dan to prepare his own schedule to allow me to experience this blessing to help me become a better mom...and wife! No thanks to them...none! {Thanks so, so, so much!
LOVE you!}
Although...when upon my arrival home about 1am Sunday morning, I was not looking forward to sleeping in my own bed...only to find two little people sleeping in my spot...and I did not end up on the couch! But I was not so glad to be home!
And remember the tooth Alex lost the other day here...well, the Tooth Fairy absolutely did not have to borrow some money from Emily's piggy bank in order to reward Alex for that special tooth! Not at all! None of it happened!
It looks like you had a great time...I am SUPER jealous! I would love to hear Natalie Grant in concert! Too funny about borrowing money from Emily's piggy bank!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks like the best time ever and that hotel is amazing. I'm glad you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny about the piggy bank...and I'm glad you had such a great time!!

I ditto everything you said. I had a great time with you all this weekend. An experience I will never forget, except for maybe not sleeping. :) I have felt the effects of being there and so have my children. I feel God's presence within me & my children even more.
ReplyDeleteWowzers! That was one beautiful hotel!!! Sounds like you had a wonderful time. So glad you enjoyed yourself. Too funny you had to sleep on the couch when you got home. You're such a wonderful Mom.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome experience. Love the hotel pics. I've never been there but being farely close to Nash, TN. I'm thinking I should plan a trip. :-)
