Ok so I am lame and should've updated this as soon as I found out but....
If any of you read my last post, (which was really a waste of time, sorry if it got any of you down), you would know that I was feeling poopy because I wanted to get away with Josh and didn't see how that would ever happen. As I was typing that message out, I was also texting Josh, letting him know how super sad I was, (and honestly I wasn't trying to manipulate!) Just after I posted that blog, he text me back and said, 'lets go somewhere'. I was like, ' what seriously? Just like that we will go somewhere?' So we called up my mom to see if we could use her time share. She said yes, we were all excited, but then we couldn't find anything near us that was available. So we were bummed again, and started to throw the idea out when Josh said, 'well why don't we just pay to go somewhere else and just not use your Mom's time share?' Again I was like, 'what seriously? Just like that we'll pay to go somewhere and get away?!' We thought about camping, but both of us sort'a cringed at the idea of having to be dirty for 2 1/2 days, ( I know kind'a wierd, but honestly we just wanted to go somewhere already layed out, nice and clean, and bugless). So we searched, I was praying all along, just asking the LORD to give us somewhere to get away to. We wanted to go to Leavenworth, but hotels were running like $169 a night, -um yea ridiculous- or at least, too much for us to spend. We looked around Montana and a little in Oregon, (I love this part of being in Wa. You can actually GO somewhere when you 'get away' :), and finally decided on Sweitzer (Sp?). Actually I don't even know where Sweitzer is. I think Josh said Montana. Anyways its a resort on a mountain with an outdoor pool and shopping and bike trails and free lift tickets so that you can go to wherever the lift takes you...*sigh* I feel so blessed! I just love that God would bless us and actually give us a place to get away too! We both figured that other than going to AK in July, (which really isn't a 'vacation', per say, but more of a 'visit'), we aren't going to get to go anywhere, just the two of us, before the baby is born. Josh begins his internship, with the church, in August and than 4'ish months later we pop out a baby, (or I should say I pop out a baby), and between now and than, this weekend is the ONLY one we could take off to do something.
The fun part will be moving this week before leaving Friday morn. :) But like we keep on telling each other, 'if Nehemiah can build the wall of Jerusalem in 52 days...we can move in a week!' Thank You God for the encouraging stories you have put in the Bible!
I'm so stoked about this weekend coming up! Thank You Lord for giving us this precious gift!

See I knew something good would come out of your last blog....I just knew it, hehe:) So glad you guys get to get away and enjoy yourselves. Take it all in my friend and please post pics when you get back.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when in July are you planning on being in AK? I'm having my baby shower that month and it would be SWEET if you were in town, so let me know sista.
Lastly, how are you feeling? Any better? Wish I could help you move, but then again I really need to take it easy as I tend to keep doing too much. You know how it goes.
yay!! --one kid is still pretty easy to "get away" with, fyi!
ReplyDeleteLol yea I know how it goes Julie :) I will be in Ak the last two weeks of July.
ReplyDeleteIts funny you say that Barbi, because Josh and I were thinking that when this LO was still pretty small, we should try to go somewhere. But with him now doing the internship, this babe will be about 6 mo by the time the year is up. I don't know, is it still easy to vacation with a 6 mo old?
