On Thursday, Andrew and I placed our children and this document in the hands of trusted caregivers
and we hit the road for some time off. We were, perhaps, a little gleeful.
(And, Abbi, I’m really sorry about Andrew picking you up and swinging you around the room when you walked in the door to babysit. I can’t imagine what came over him…)
When we arrived at our destination and I walked out on our back porch and saw this, I sat down and had myself a good cry. Four years was a long time to wait for this vacation, but it was totally worth it.
And now you’ve never seen two more relaxed people… Nothing quite like a beach trip to remind you of your own insignificance and how Powerful and Mighty is The One who creates all things.
Psalm 93:2-4
2 Your throne was established long ago;
you are from all eternity.
3 The seas have lifted up, O LORD,
the seas have lifted up their voice;
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea—
the LORD on high is mighty.
I’m still laughing that you typed up a manual. See my friend, we are more alike that you would like to admit ;o) Love you and hope your vacation is AMAZING!
I’m kind of jealous. But I’m so glad you had a wonderful, relaxing time.
Amen! I am so thrilled for the two of you to have been off respite-ing. May its influence linger long and may the sweet memories swoop down upon you when life offers you a side of crazy!
how funny would it have been if *I* had gone on my beach trip and we wound up at the same beach? That would have totally sucked for ya’ll. ROFL!
I’m so glad ya’ll got some time together! WTG, Andrew!! =)
You two crazy love birds are too cute. Hope you had a a super great time, getting refreshed.
Beautiful pictures! I am glad you had a chance to get away.
Love the ‘manual’!! We were at the beach last week too – but without a hammock, and with 3 kids. But a vacation is still a vacation! And I’m so glad that the two of you had the time away to relax and refresh.
What a beautiful place – glad you had such a special time.
Beautiful! So thrilled you two were able to have some special time together to refresh and relax!!!! Blessings, jen in al
So glad y’all were able to get away for some couple time.
Glad you all are well rested. We do a manual, too.
We will be taking our adult vacation next June and it will be 4 years since we have gone away without kids. Dan and I can’t wait.
I love that picture of you. It breathes “I’m relaxed and beautiful.” I love it. (That and all the gratuitous pictures of your lovely feet.)
I’m so glad for you two. Ahhhh.
I’m so happy for you guys! And my favorite was that first feet picture with the sand and the water.
Oh how fun!!! Where did y’all go? It looks like where I live.
So glad you had a much needed break. Its so nice, isn’t it?
I’m dealing with a house full of sick ones…even the baby…but you know what? Just having FIVE sick kids to take care of makes my heart smile. Our newest addition has been home with us for a MONTH. I cannot believe it!
