here we are outside of Willie G's
Becoming parents changes everything. Period. Yes, it is SO wonderful to have children, but it is also the hardest thing we have ever done. Kids require your constant attention. You give and give and give some more. Our mentor, Paul Helbig, would periodically take his wife on little vacations with just the 2 of them. I never understood the importance of those little trips until we starting having our own little family. Marriages need constant work and sometimes life can get so busy with kids that people forget to work on their marriages. We have learned that we HAVE to take time for just the 2 of us to get away and regroup. Whether we just go on a long date or have a wonderful 2 night vacation- we need this time. Someone at our church graciously gave us a 2 night stay at the San Louis Resort in Galveston. It was wonderful! We slept really late, ate a bunch of really good food, relaxed by the pool, read, watched movies, walked on the beach, toured the city, went shopping- we did it all!! It's amazing how quickly you can get in and out of the car without 2 little ones!! Though we missed the kids, it was so wonderful to take this time to get refreshed. The ONLY bad part about the trip was that it made us want to move to California and live on the beach (I guess that could be a good or bad thing depending on your point of view!!) We are so incredibly thankful for getting to go on this vacation. I am so thankful for my wonderful Mom and Dad who were willing to watch the kids for us so we could do this. I know they were exhausted and I seriously cannot thank them enough. I had such an amazing time laughing and enjoying time with my best friend. Almost 8 years of marriage and I continue to fall more in love with him. The Lord is so kind.
