Babymoon

     This weekend, Joe and I went on a spontaneous "Babymoon"!! We booked a hotel for Friday night and drove down to Ocean City for some much-needed time away.  On Saturday morning, I woke just in time to watch the sun rise over the ocean, right from our bed. I have always wanted to watch the sun rise over the beach with my special someone, so this was one of my "little girl dreams" come true. I was so excited!! Joe didn't quite "get it" because he's not a morning person, but watching the sunrise with him just made my day! 

  

     After a brief and VERY COLD walk on the beach (like 20 degrees cold!), we checked out and started our day by heading to Old Pro Golf and playing a round of mini golf, one of our favorite things to do together. At the end of the game, there was a chance to win a free game by hitting the ball into a small hole at the bottom of this tiki-torch thingy (see pic). And who won the free game?! ME!! Joe was in shock! Especially since when we went on a mini-vacation in August and played, I also won the free game at the end. :) Guess I'm just lucky!

  

     February has been a rough month for us. Joe started working the overnight shift and time together has been strained, as we've been operating on different sleep and work schedules. We've had trouble trying to find time where we are both at our best so that we can have quality time together. But this weekend was wonderful! I had so much fun with my husband and I'm so glad we took time out to be spontaneous together! I feel like our marriage was recharged and we were able to get away from the ordinary to reconnect. 
     Even in this difficult season when it's easy to get frustrated with each other, God is faithful. We are continuing to trust God and pray for His will in our lives. And should this season continue longer than we'd like, I know that God will see us through. One thing I have learned is to truly appreciate my husband: to appreciate that he is willing to do whatever it takes to work hard and support our family; to appreciate how he does help me out around the house and do the little things that I sometimes take for granted; and to appreciate the time we do have together and to make the most of every moment.
