It's been a wonderful week.   

We traveled to Florida last Sunday and have been enjoying the wonderful weather and a  visit with my parents.  

The end of the week marks the beginning of The BEECH Retreat - which I'm sure I'll share about next week.  

This has been a busy week.   Many odds and ends have been taken care of, and LOTS of schoolwork has been completed.  

We will be driving to Florida next week and staying a few days with my mom and dad.  Then, my dear husband will drive the kids all the way home (11 hours!) while I stay in sunny SW Florida for The BEECH Retreat.  

As I'm preparing for all of this, I am so thankful for ENERGY --- energy that I did not have even a month ago.
