Mexico Anniversary Trip

Hard to believe that we've been married for 15 years!  I love Jeremy more with every year!  It's a joy to do life by his side!  So thankful for our Mexico getaway last week!  We had a great time relaxing, talking, reading, and dining at the resort!  It was a great week!  

Our room was so nice!

Our path to the beach

We spent most of our days at the beach on these great beach beds!  So thankful for time to relax and   read! This was our view most days!!!

We enjoyed lots of dates!  It was so nice to have a break from cooking! And so fun to get dressed up and go out every night! 

One day we went bike riding and it was pretty funny!  We had to wear these reflective vests (in the day mind you) and hair nets! But it was fun and we got to hold these macaws!   

So thankful for this time and our 15 years of marriage!  The Lord continues to teach us and grow us in our oneness!  Thankful for His grace in our marriage!  I love you Jeremy and I look forward to more years of marriage with you! 

And thank you mom and dad for taking great care of our kiddos while we were gone!

Jeremy's birthday getaway to Charleston

 My hubby is 40!!!!  Can I seriously be married to a 40 year old!  He's making me work harder to keep him young;)  I wanted to do something special for him to celebrate!  I landed on taking him to Charleston for a 3 night getaway!  He didn't know where we were going until a few days before so I planned the housing and restaurants and activities.  It was so fun for me!  We had a great time!  It's so good to get away alone and be refreshed in our marriage.  I'm SO thankful for this man!  God knew what He was doing when He blessed me with Jeremy years ago.  He is my best friend!  I respect him in his walk with the Lord, his leadership in our home, his ministry, and his character.  I count it a joy and privilege to partner with him in this life!  I love you bubs!  So glad you're mine!  

We are thankful for Papa & Nana watching the kids for us.  We met for a birthday lunch (above picture) and then left the kids with them and hit the road!  And here are some pictures of our sweet time together!

 I got a great discount at the Andrew Pinckney Inn (above).  It was perfect!  The location was fabulous, walking distance to everything!

 Jeremy striking the Lionel Richie pose in our room;)  Vacation is good!  Didn't take us long to relax and unwind! Seriously, this isn't real life, you have to soak it all up when you have the opportunity!

 We had some great food and dining experiences!  We enjoyed lots of strolling around Charleston. 

 We also enjoyed running together in the morning....

 ...and lingering at breakfast on the outside veranda.  So nice to go slow and at our own pace!

 We enjoyed strolling through the market.

One day we took a walking tour with a women who is a tour guide and a photographer!  Such a genius idea!  So part of the tour around Charleston is her taking your picture and with the price of the tour you get 2 pictures from the tour.  The following 2 pictures are the ones we chose.  Sweet memento!  

 

 

It was a great getaway celebrating my man's 40 years of life!  

For his birthday I also compiled this book for him.  It's filled with special notes from some men in his life.  Thank you to all you men who contributed!  You are all a blessing to us!
