Last weekend, we were up in the mountains for a staff retreat. Because Brandon and I were in Albuquerque with Jude for most of the fall semester, it has been a very unique year for our team. So, we all (except the kids) left the desert to enjoy the alpine beauty of the mountains of Southern New Mexico.With that lovely mountain beauty came snow. Lots of it. And, our Honda Odyssey minivan did not like that snow. At all. We got stuck multiple times as we tried to drive on that mountain road, and our tires were unable to get any kind of traction. Thankfully, our friends Jesse and Nick were with us...and they pushed us up a good portion of the highway. Eventually, we were unable to go any farther. So, Brandon joined the guys in helping out other vehicles while I watched from the comfort of our warm car.
Eventually, a snowplow rescued us...which was a true answer to prayer. So, we were able to join the rest of our team for a fun-filled weekend of good rest, great food, and sweet friendships. It was much needed for all of us. We are so thankful to have such wonderful people in our lives.
