Mountain Getaway

For Christmas this year Chris’ parents spoiled us with a weekend away.
Two glorious nights away while they watched our three {k-razy} children.
Aren’t my in-loves saints?
We decided to take advantage of their generous gift this past weekend before we had to worry about bringing a newborn along with us 🙂

And it was nothing short of perfection.
Romantic strolls down main street at night.
Taking in the gorgeous lights and winter scene {even though it was FREEZING! brrrrrr!}
Quiet meals, where we could actually finish our conversations.
Window shopping hand in hand.
A movie for two snuggled in our hotel room.
Sleeping in. Ahhhhhhhhh…. the sleeping in.
And the best part:
Not having to share- having Chris all to myself. The un-distracted, fully-there versions of ourselves. The having one anothers undivided attention. Simply having the time to reconnect.

I’ve missed that.
Missed him.
It reminded me of the time before we had kids.
A time when I had Chris all to myself.
I took it for granted. Him. The quiet. The two of us lounging around all day on the weekends.
Now, I savor these moments. I lock them tightly into my heart, treasures that they are.
We don’t get away often, just the two of us, but when we do it is such a gift.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to my sweet mama and papa-in-love. I am so humbled to be a part of such an amazing family.

And now, just weeks away from adding our fourth sweet joy to our family I feel like our marriage has been refreshed, renewed. And we are so ready to open our arms to our newest little blessing and all that comes with this new season in our family.

(well, except for maybe the lack of sleep that we know is looming around the corner….)
