First Family Vacation

Last week, we went on our first family vacation. Just the three of us. Boy did we need it! We found an amazing deal on a hotel in Myrtle Beach and stayed from Tuesday through Friday. We purposely chose the beach because it was the off season and knew the prices would be better. We got a two-bedroom suite with a full kitchen. This was great because Isaac had his own room, and with a kitchen, I cooked a lot of our meals, which also saved us a lot of money. What a sweet, sweet time with my family. The Lord has been so good to us and we so enjoyed being together, just the three of us. Also, being in myrtle beach has a lot of memories for us. We both were on a summer project there and shared a lot of memories. Everywhere we went, we each had a story to tell that started with, "do you remember when...?" It's just another way that we look back and wonder in amazement that God had picked us for one another, even way back when. We love that we share so many memories together. Here's a slide show of our fun times.



On our way home, we stopped in Wilmington for more traditions. We always eat at Front Street Brewery on our way home from the beach and always get ice cream at Kilwan's. Though, I was super cold so I opted for a chai at Port City Java this time, but Luke still got ice cream.

I'm so thankful for the family God has given me. We truly truly enjoy being together. It still feels like we're crazy college kids, and we have so much fun together! But now, it's back to normal life, but I'm thankful for that too.
