Tonight I'm off to spend the weekend with Alpharetta First United Methodist Church's Senior High Youth. We'll be staying at the Cohutta Lodge and Restaurant:
500 Cochise Trail, Chatsworth, Ga 30705
706-695-9601

It's about 1.5 hours from Alpharetta, so it should be an easy trip. I've never been to this retreat before, but the website looks nice. Let's hope the pictures DO the property justice! I've packed a bag to bursting with candy. Nothing like keeping a bunch of teenagers juiced up on sugar to help a weekend pass s-l-o-w-l-y. : )
On Saturday afternoon, we've been scheduled to go paint balling. I've never been paint balling and my husband said he didn't think I'd like being hit. See how he thought I would like the running around shooting people part. Not sure if I'll do that or not. I've already offered up that if they need adults to stay back at the lodge that I would. I'm thinking some quality downtime with a great book and my ipod might be just what I need...probably what I need a lot more than being banged up by my big kids repeatedly shooting me!
We're due back Sunday afternoon around lunch time, so it's destiny that we'll show up right as 11:00 service is emptying out into the parking lot! Let's hope not. Please pray for dry weather as it's supposed to be YUCKY tonight!

Ah, youth retreats...those were the days! The accomodations look FAB, even the bunk buds ;)! I'm sure you guys are going to have a blast, paint ball bruises and all.
Hi Lynne! Vanessa G gave me the link to your blog. V and I have known each other since 1997 in Austin, and I live in Marietta now! We should get together with our kids (my two and your four would make A LOT of kids) -- or without them ;-)
