A Get-Away

Terry and I have just celebrated our 8th anniversary. It was so great, we went to Prayer Lake. We've always talked about going away on a short trip for each anniversary, but with it being December it just always seemed to slip by. But now with 4 little ones and a hectic life there is just not much alone time. Our conversations usually occur over a rumbling of voices and almost every one of the conversations get interrupted at least 3 times! This is the truth.

I absolutely love this bench! I also really, really like this roof.

At first it was weird that there were no little bodies pulling on us, or expressing a need repeatedly, or spilling something, or wetting their pants, or emptying a cabinet, or arguing over a toy, or bleeding. We looked at each other and pondered what did we used to do before we had kids?!

The trip was just so great. Terry and I haven't talked so much since we were first married. It's not that we didn't desire to or try to, it's just life with little ones. The trip was so needed and I really sensed the Lord revitalizing our realationship while we were there. Thank you to all who helped watch our kids, we know the Lord will bless your lives.
