I had it all planned out in my head, had actually purchased a few items for the big day. When I asked my hubby for some input, he said, "Honey, there's nothing wrong with our original vows, why do we need to renew them. I don't think they're expired!" So he asked me ifDeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668331171444538233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654083932128429502.post-24121918116192000312012-06-01T10:28:25.500-05:002012-06-01T10:28:25.500-05:00Ron, 2010 was my first Retreat as well.

I was nervous when I first arrived because I didn't know anyone, but I met two great women in the elevator on my way to the first night's gala, and they made me feel right at home--as did everyone else from that moment forward.

Each night a new gift arrived in my room or during the day. I kept asking myself why had it taken me so long to make the trek to Wisconsin! It was the best experience ever and I am heading back this October for MyAuntKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794674699292011033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654083932128429502.post-89289167878405445952012-05-31T15:16:16.347-05:002012-05-31T15:16:16.347-05:00Ah, amen to that, Ron!

I was so disheartened that the very first annual retreat was scheduled during a time that I was on a cruise for work, and so couldn't attend that one. But since that time, I made darn sure that no one in my sphere of influence scheduled anything to interfere with my Club Scrap Retreats! And so I've been able to go each year since 2002.

Both retreats tend to fall at a bad time of the year for me these days. I always take a family vacation in Sept. so being gone in Aug or Oct just doesn't work out, but I sure do miss it. I also love the area up there!Queen of Dishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16976676198650017571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654083932128429502.post-13978911886808965222012-05-31T14:29:58.508-05:002012-05-31T14:29:58.508-05:00Well Ron, you pretty much hit the nail right on t...Well Ron, you pretty much hit the nail right on the head for me!! It was nothing short of a life changing experience for me. I can not begin to tell you how wonderful it was to meet all of my online friends in person. I was blessed to be there with you in 2010 for my very first Retreat and then a second time in 2011! What fun!
