Fully known. Fully loved.
What a sweet week. It began with celebrating Hef's birthday.
The Fellows loved on her well.
The added surprise was several of last year's Fellows sent video messages to her!
Wednesday, we began a Relationship series using material put together from Andy Stanley. It is spot on what these Fellows need to hear.
Bible study followed.
Then, Thursday it was off to the beach for four days of story-telling.
The stars were incredible Thursday night. We watched them shoot. We star tipped. We sang. We danced. And we did our best to stay warm!
Friday, we started sharing our stories. Ned went first. Followed by Meghan, Michelle, and Hef.
Saturday, we had Tori and Hayes in the morning, Emily and Rossi in the afternoon, and Bryn that night.
Sunday, we had AJ and C-Fil in the morning, Owen and Sam in the afternoon. Game night and laughing tears.
Monday, we finished up with Lynn and Bailey.
There was free time and beach time sprinkled in. We did a polar plunge of course. Played spike ball. Went on walks. Found climbing trees. Exercised. Played games. And had deep conversation.
Every morning, we worshipped together and Ned gave a short devotion.
Each evening, a different team cooked dinner.
There was also plenty of cookie dough to be eaten and M&M's.
It was about as great of a time as one can have.
Our cups overflow.
For the sake of time, I'll just let the pictures tell the story. Even if they are not in order, you will get the idea.
Warming up after a polar plunge
Sam and Meghan reminisce about the time they randomly met for a week while they were in high school
Emily and Tori watch the sunrise. At least two people watched it come up every day.
Ned and Emily celebrate a spike ball come from behind victory.
Hef, at times, used her massage gun as a weapon
Star tipping on the beach
Michelle likes her throne
Emily makes these pretzel circle things. I have never seen humans fight over food the way these Fellows fight over these delights.
Hef is competing in a work out competition. We joined in to "help" her.
Sunrise on the beach. Cold but beautiful.
Quiet times on the beach. The best.
Sometimes we carry each other's burdens. Sometimes we carry each other.
Half marathon training.
AJ reminds us that he has all ten fingers
We find this awesome climbing tree near our house
