ICB Retreat 2012

Last weekend, my wonderful church, ICB, had its annual retreat (cancelled last year due to flooding). If you remember from two years ago, we had it in Pranburi, and decided to go there again this year. This time we all stayed at the Juniper Tree, and had a relaxing and encouraging weekend filled with games, beach time, singing, and small group discussions.



Hitched a ride with Smitha and Kent, and got to ride with Jude the whole way there :D

Erotica Pizza...yeah it definitely lived up to its "spicy" designation

Riding on the side, yes, the side, of the truck on the way back from pizza. What can I say? I like to live dangerously. 

On the drive back to Bangkok...never a dull moment!

Happy Quarter-Century to Me

Pookie joined me for my birthday weekend this year, and I'll be forever grateful for her company. We took the overnight bus up to Chiang Mai Friday night, arrived at our guesthouse around 7:30am, the ChiangMai Adventure van picked us up at 8:30, and we were off! Rode ATVs all morning, then went white water rafting in the afternoon. Northern style Thai food in the evening at a really cool little restaurant, and then our first holiday Starbucks drinks for the season while we enjoyed the night bazaar. Woke up early Sunday morning to hop on a songthaew to the airport, and landed at Don Muang Airport at 9:30am. We napped most of the day, then headed to church in the evening (where Pastor Stewart was pleased to see that I hadn't skipped church for my birthday). After church a few friends joined me at Wine Connection for some yummy food and delicious wine.
