Weekend at The Glen

This weekend Jay and I went to Colorado Springs for the Physicians Discipleship Conference at the Glen Eyrie Conference Center (pictured above is the Castle).  We had a most wonderful time together and I have so many pictures to share!  I was able to take off Thursday through Monday and we left with Tim and Anna Dietrich Thursday morning for the Glen.  It was a long and scary drive considering the weather (and cattle on the interstate) but we made it by about 4 o'clock.  We immediately met so many people and got the conference kicked off!  

First session!

The Great Hall.

Friday was the first full day and it started great with some delicious food in the King James Dining Hall. We had a full morning with worship, teaching and small group then a men's and women's lunch.  After lunch was our free time and Tim, Anna, Jay and I went on a hike to the frozen falls.

You can't really tell, but for awhile we walked on solid ice!

We finally made it to the Frozen Falls!

The boys found a cave on our way back and climbed up to it.

Saturday was about the same as Friday except for during our free time Jay and I went up on a hillside and spent some time praying, journaling and listening.  It was so nice be alone and quiet for a few hours.

Last picture with the sunglasses... he lost them on the way down.  :(

My view from my "burning bush"- it was a beautiful day.  Praise Jesus.

Saturday night during the session, Wes and Catherine shared their testimony with the group and it was so fun to here them share their story.  They also introduced us to this awesome couple below-  Kyle and Moriah Stewart from OKC!  We played games til about midnight with them and a few other couples we met through Wes and Catherine- it was so fun!

Great pic of Wes and Catherine sharing! :)

Sunday morning was our last session with Skip and Buzzie Gray and we couldn't leave without getting a pic with the cutest couple ever.  

After saying our good-byes we packed up and headed out.  The drive was just as long as Thursday but we finally made it home in the pouring down rain!  It wouldn't have been a complete trip without a picture of a giant stuffed bear in the middle of a gas station...
