Couples Retreat

This November Josh and I got to head out to Gatlinburg for our first couples retreat. We had such a great weekend. We got to stay at a beautiful resort and had a lot of fun getting to fellowship with others couples! Some that we knew already and some new found friends!

Gregg and Jess organized the entire weekend and they are truly blessed with this gift. So much attention to detail. We had baskets on our beds when we got there that were filled with couples devotions, milano cookies, and of course The Jones' drink of choice: sparkling grape juice. We had 6 little sessions on Higher Love that really blew my mind. Had you thinking and praying for your spouse and relationship in a whole new way. We definitely didn't leave thinking the same way. As much as we missed our little man we had such a wonderful time having "Mommy and Daddy time" and getting away for the weekend! Thanks Gregg and Jess for planning such a special weekend!

Here's some pics for our weekend away!

Our whole group:

What's that we're holding?? Oh it's our official "amazing race" packets. Gregg and Jess had each couple running around downtown Gatlinburg for hours going from one clue to the other. It was SO much fun. We had about 9 clues that sent us every direction. People there actually thought we were with the real show, it was so funny. I know there was one point where I was so tired from Josh making me run everywhere (this is his competitive spirit in full force, shocking I know) I finally told him to go on and I'd catch up. He didn't leave me but more less dragged me along. Who knew you had to be in shape to go on a couples retreat? haha Don't worry hunnie, next time I'll be in shape and we won't get 2nd place like this year :) This soccer wife will not let you down!
