As I mentioned in my last post, Tad and I had the privilege of attending a marriage conference in Virginia last weekend. My parents sent us AND kept the girls for us so we could go. Other family members gave us money for gas and to go out to eat. It was such a blessing to spend time together (first night away since before we had Vera!) and to benefit from the conference (Paul Tripp’s What Did You Expect? Conference).
The weekend was GORGEOUS so we spent lots of time walking outside in between the sessions so we could talk about the material we just heard.
The Hotel Roanoke is beautiful and we loved staying there.
It was so fun just to spend time together without worrying about spit up, diapers, strollers, and meltdowns. Don’t get me wrong… we love our girls! But having some “getaway time” was very needed for our marriage.
We went to a great restaurant for dinner before the conference. We both got HUGE burgers (no, I’m not a “order salad at a restaurant” kind of girl… red meat for me!).
I love my handsome husband. He’s so good to me!
We enjoyed cookies when we checked in, as well as an awesome basket of goodies that my mom sent.
The view from our room was spectacular!
I am SO thankful that God provided (through loving family members) this beautiful weekend away!
The Hotel Roanoke is old and historic… but it’s special to us because we spent the first night we were married there!
Thankful for what God has done and is continuing to do in our marriage!
Good for you both! My sister was at that conference as well!
