The BBR in Poland

This past weekend I went with 5 of my good friends to Poland to do some serious pottery shopping. While I bought various things for gifts, I was the only one with a particular pattern and kept my eye out for the green speckled and flowered pattern Rob and I had picked out back in August of 2007.

We left early Friday morning in 2 large vehicles. We stopped at a few stores on our way to Elim Christian Center (yup, same place we went on the mission trip for Thanksgiving). I bought some great chips and salsa bowls with a rare chili pepper pattern on them that first day.

Saturday was Operation Polish Pottery and it was a full day of shopping. I probably bought way more than I needed to- but I am only a few key pieces away from having everything I could possibly want in our pattern. And I have gifts to last me through a few birthdays and such.

For dinner both nights we ate at the same WONDERFUL pizzeria. For all 6 of us to eat 2 giant pizzas (they have their own table that is placed next to our main table) salad and have wine was only about $30 total!

We left Sunday after a devotional (we had to forgo going to church since it started too late in the morning) and arrived back home in the evening with very weighed down cars to unpack.

While I love the pottery I bought, what really made the weekend so great was my BBR sisters. Since the Army is separating us soon we have vowed not to simply become Christmas card friends- and the passing of the Blue BeetRoot key chain every month (and facebook, of course) is going to help keep us as close as the sisters we now are. God really has blessed me with godly, goofy women to befriend along this journey called life.
