Friends and Lakehouse

Our homegroup decided it would be fun to have a weekend retreat. Drew and I thought my parent's lake house would be perfect for a getaway. Drew and I headed down Friday night to have one night to ourselves, well not completely, we brought our puppy Jovie. I couldn't wait to get her down there to run free on 13 acres. Well it turned out to be more stressful than I thought. She wanted to take off to chase all the critters down there and the property isn't fenced. But she had the time of her life and slept for 2 days straight after we got back in town. Only about half of our group was able to make it but we still had 5 couples down there. We cooked for each other all weekend and our friend Caleb brought his brand new boat for all of us to enjoy.

The boat had an amazing sound system and we listened to music and enjoyed good food and good company!

Bethany and I sat at the front of the boat and got soaked from all the waves we hit

The Williamsons!

After grilling out we played games and then the boys fished while the girls chatted all night

The next morning we ate some yummy breakfast made by the Rydbecks and enjoyed the view from the porch.

It was a great way to relax and get to know our friends in homegroup a little better. They have all been such a blessing since we've met them and Drew and I are so thankful for such a great support system to have.
