L.I.F.E. Retreat

This weekend, Shane and I were on the L.I.F.E. retreat @ Church of the Highlands. We led a L.I.F.E. group this semester and served at the retreat. It was FABULOUS!!!

This retreat gets better every year - we go through the same things, but God does a greater work in me every time. This semester I served with the Warfare Intercessors - a lot more toll on me than I expected, but there was a lot of prayer time and Satan was not taking a break. I had the privilege of praying with several participants at the end of the retreat as well.

There's nothing like it! Now we need to decide whether or not to lead another group this Spring. Fall is very busy for us, but Spring can get even busier with boys and sports. We'll see - we led 2 groups this semester, so I'm thinking it's time to be fed and just sign up for a group - wanting to do a Prayer Force group.

Christmas

Christmas is my favorite time of year! My house has been full of lights since before Thanksgiving. I'm usually way ahead on shopping, but this year we did it all on Sunday (well, most of it).
Missed my first Christmas party last night :( but there will be more to come. Next week I have 3 parties in one day - whew!

SEC Game

Chris Tomlin was GREAT last night! Not as many Christmas songs as I would have liked to hear, but a really good worship time.

Took a nice 5 mile walk this morning, shopping @ Sam's, lunch @ Newk's, and got the Christmas cards done and mailed out - productive day . . .

Really bummed about the SEC Championship game. Tebow is such a great guy and Alabama fans are so obnoxious!
Oh, well - life goes on. Not like I actually played or anything.

Tomorrow: church and shoes! (one can never have enough shoes . . . )

SQL in Seattle

Went to PASS Summit '09 in Seattle this year - it was GREAT! I not only learned a lot, but had a great time, too. I went by myself :( but met lots of people. Did the pre-conference (DW - it was okay), then went to a networking shop which was very helpful.
I mainly stayed on the DBA track, but ventured into a few other things as well. BI just doesn't seem to excite me like it does everyone else . . .
No post-conference day - travelled back to Bham.

Went to Alabama Adventure on Tuesday - had a blast! The new UPlunge ride in the water park was SO fun! I highly reccommend it - - -
