Last weekend, Ben & I went on our church youth's Winter Retreat at Lay Lake for the 2nd year in a row as counselors. (Here is last year's post). We had a wonderful time once again. It was a bit different for Ben this year because he was in charge of 10th grade boys so he didn't feel like a parent the whole trip and I had the same girls as last year (now 11th graders). The theme of the weekend was:
"GOD IS GOOD... ALL THE TIME. LIVE FULLY, LOVE FULLY"
The speaker was great... he had a way of putting every verse we read in the bible in the most understandable terms I have ever heard. The analogies & real life application were great. The music was fantastic too.
We had a bonfire this year, complete with S'mores (we couldn't have the bonfire last year because it was raining).
And the always hilarious & crazy competitive Football game (where the boys play on their knees). You can see Ben in the green shirt down the line on the boys side coaching....
After we came home on Monday started the fun part.... I apparently caught the FLU from someone there! The sore throat started when I woke up our last day there (Monday), then all the symptoms worsened throughout the week (stuffy nose, coughing, fever).... Everything got so bad by Friday (incessant migraines) that I went to the Doctor & he confirmed that I did indeed test positive for the FLU.
So now I'm in quarantine at home & Ben is doing his best to take care of me without touching me or getting sick himself. Last night the fever got up to it's highest.. 103... I kinda got worried but apparently that's part of the deal. Tamiflu, PLEASE work QUICKER! The delicious homemade chicken noodle soup that my mommy made me (via my sister's most recent blog posted recipe) is definitely helping though :)

Feel better sista! Love you. Sleep and rest and eat :)
So sorry you are sick! Yikes! But I'm SURE that soup helped! I have copied and pasted the recipie myself and hope to use it soon {although hopefully not b/c of the flu :-/} Feel better soon!
I bet the retreat was so fun! That's so sweet of y'all. Hope you're all well now!

Good to hear about the retreat. Now feel better soon! In the meantime, this will have to do: sending Love, Hugs, and Kisses :)
Hope you are on the mend, Erin! The flu seems to be everywhere! Feel better fast!
