I was driving around town this afternoon when it hit me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tomorrow is Mother's Day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean I knew that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been thinking about it in regards to my own momma.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But as I was driving around town the thought that hit me was that tomorrow is Mother's Day and I'm okay. I'm not in a puddle of tears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Three hours, a pregnancy announcement on social media, and someone posting about losing their baby later..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not as okay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I still smile because I am a momma to Jayden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember every second of those twelve weeks so vividly it's unlike any other memories I have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do I question if I will ever be pregnant again?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do I have misplaced anger over my circumstances that do not appear to be changing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do I still constantly daydream about another pregnancy and all the joy that comes with that?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is my God still good?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is my God still faithful?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I still smile and move forward.</div>

What I'm about to write will come as no shock to anyone reading this now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I want to be able to look back years from now and remember what life was like during 2020.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to remember quarantine life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here we go...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't seen my students or taught them anything face to face since March 12.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've learned that I don't like teaching online nearly as much as I thought I would.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andrew hasn't been to work since March 24.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gas is hovering around one dollar per gallon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I'm not taking advantage of that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't gotten gas since March 18 and I still have almost a full tank.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My car doesn't need gas because I haven't left my house since... well I don't really remember.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I drove my car the other day because I couldn't remember the last time I had driven anywhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andrew goes to the store for us about every other week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zoom meetings seem to consume my weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not a fan of them and if I never have another Zoom meeting again, it will be too soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We stay up until two or three in the morning every night and sleep til eleven every morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've finished the third season of The Crown, the eighth season of Call The Midwife, all of All American, and all of Love is Blind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I spend the days watching planner videos on YouTube.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then I do some online planner shopping.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be ready when life returns to normal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Except that I'm not sure I even remember how to wear makeup or put on pants that button.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The LBs....well they are living their best life having both humans home all day every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andrew and I have enjoyed our time in Missouri.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We met some of our very best friends here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will forever be thankful that Andrew and Eric met in our backyard and decided we should all be friends. I love the people in this picture with all my heart. We have all laughed together and cried together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It broke our hearts when they moved almost a year ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Missouri hasn't been the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now it is our turn to leave Missouri.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andrew and I have been talking about and praying about moving home to Arkansas for a while now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We discussed different parts of Arkansas and have landed on Central Arkansas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will moving back this summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thankful to be moving home and all the adventures that is going to include for us.</div>

I'm working from home this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heck. I'm working from home for the foreseeable future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a teacher. I don't work from home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I belong in my classroom with a room full of sassy 7th graders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week is about making phone calls to families of my students and waiting for information about what distance learning will look like next week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to start planning and preparing so that I can give my students the best possible lessons from distance next week. But I don't know if I should plan paper lessons, digital lessons, or both.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I'm just sitting here feeling lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not much motivation to do anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the bright side...working from home has allowed me slow mornings to spend time in the Word.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's Thursday...I think.<br />
<br />
I am on Spring Break this week and have completely lost track of anything related to a calendar. <br />
<br />
Throw in the fact that school is closed through April 3 due to Covid 19 and I'm really confused about dates.<br />
<br />
But I will say I'm thankful for my slow mornings and time off work right now.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1XQtGNpphA4/XnOxsMh-vGI/AAAAAAAAOtU/BKDWa1PtMi8UIQ_Sx4W4AtxkAbwRfJnlACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_6394.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1203" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1XQtGNpphA4/XnOxsMh-vGI/AAAAAAAAOtU/BKDWa1PtMi8UIQ_Sx4W4AtxkAbwRfJnlACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_6394.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I'm also thankful that I will return to work on Monday to start planning distance learning for my students. We may be limited to online interactions but it is better than nothing.<br />
<br />
This week I've tried to find the perfect balance between cuddling the LBs, reading for pleasure (because research paper is basically finished), and being productive.<br />
<br />
Andrew and I have spent the past couple of nights going through all the things in our giant storage unit. It feels so good to be purging and simplifying life. I am thankful that we have been able to make good progress and should have our storage unit emptied by the end of this month.<br />
<br />
We have done our best to keep some normalcy to life while the world feels uncertain and chaotic. Andrew has said multiple times in the past few days that we live in the best country. And he is right. I am thankful to live in the United States where even during a pandemic I can go to the grocery store and purchase food. I may not be able to purchase toilet paper, but I can purchase food and other necessities. <br />
<br />
And even more than that I'm thankful to have a Father that is still on His throne. He is still in control. He has always provided and will continue to do so. <br />
<br />
My brother-in-law posted this on social media yesterday...<br />
<br />
Everything is out of control, right?<br />
<br />
Sun still setting in the west. God still painting across the horizon. Be you a dollar it rises in the east tomorrow, and if not, I AM READY. So stop, take a minute, wash your hands, hug your kids, read your Bible, lookout for your neighbor, and breathe. God knows and cares.<br />
<br />
I'd say my brother-in-law is a pretty wise guy. :)<br />
<br />

1. The days are longer and I'm waking up to the sound of birds singing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. There are only 5 school days left until Spring Break.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. It's March which means it is time for the Weaver Fam Bracket Challenge - one of my favorite things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow! That week went by so fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And to be honest I'm glad it is over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
December 25th through February 13th is always such a roller coaster for me. So many memories, so much happiness, and so much sadness fill those weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am filled with relief and thanksgiving when I make it past February 13. I feel like I can be normal again. I'm sure Andrew is thankful for that too. LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first chapter of my research paper was due Friday. This semester has actually felt like I am in grad school. That stinkin' research paper is kinda stressin' me out. I'm thankful to have that first chapter behind me. I feel like it has helped me start to figure out what I'm doing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm presenting for the first time ever at a conference next week. I'm starting to feel a little better about that. I am so thankful for all the people who have told me I'm going to do awesome. That encouragement has been a huge blessing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So yeah...I feel like everything hit all at once and I'm thankful to be coming out on the other side of this past week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of presenting next week...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to bring my own projector and all the technology things. This has me a bit nervous and I'm terrified that I will blank out and forget how to hook something up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I borrowed a projector from school and Tuesday night Andrew gave me projector lessons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so thankful he knows all about this stuff and is willing to help me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has been a huge encouragement when it comes to this presenting thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can translate that as he hasn't let me cancel my plans to present.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because there has been more than one occasion where I wanted to chicken out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And on a totally different note...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The thing I'm most thankful for this week is a better than expected surgery outcome for my Daddy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He had surgery on his left shoulder Monday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His shoulder was not as bad as they originally thought. Surgery was pretty quick and recovery should be less painful than originally anticipated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is doing well and for that I praise God.<br />
<br />
Be sure to hope over to <a href="http://www.ournestingplace.com/">Miranda's blog</a> and read her post as well. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aPiVN6ijTxY/XjjXGfTUgcI/AAAAAAAAOq4/_z1OasAjfB4k4baLvSQREWY8nO0ks4afgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Thankful%2BThursday%2BLogo%2B1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="341" data-original-width="419" height="520" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aPiVN6ijTxY/XjjXGfTUgcI/AAAAAAAAOq4/_z1OasAjfB4k4baLvSQREWY8nO0ks4afgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Thankful%2BThursday%2BLogo%2B1.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would you just look at that logo picture?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't it beautiful!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can say that because I had nothing to do with it other than saying, "Hey Miranda, will you make us a logo?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago I began sharing a picture each day on my Instagram with something I was thankful for from the day. I have really enjoyed doing that and can see how it has helped shift my mindset more toward one of gratitude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I've recently been thinking about giving my Instagram a makeover, so to speak. I'm not sure what that means yet, but I haven't really been posting much there until I figure it out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't want to give up my thankful post, so I decided to move them over here to the blog with a weekly post. And of course, I wanted to recruit my dear friend, Miranda, to join the fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so thankful for her friendship. It is still crazy to me that she and I met right here in the blog world and have only met twice in real life. She is such a sweet friend and prayer warrior. And insanely talent. My blog has only ever looked cute because of her.<br />
<br />
We had every intention of starting this new series last week.<br />
<br />
But it just didn't happen.<br />
<br />
So we are starting today.<br />
<br />
And that feels perfect.<br />
<br />
Because today is Jayden's birthday.<br />
<br />
Today is a day of celebration.<br />
<br />
A day to be thankful.<br />
<br />
I have cried every day this week as I've remembered the different moments from two years ago that led to this day. I've sat at my computer with tears streaming down my face as I read the prayers and words of encouragement from our friends and family during those darkest days.<br />
<br />
My tears this week have been cleansing. They have been tears of thanksgiving and praise.<br />
<br />
Those prayers two years ago are no doubt what carried Andrew and me through the darkest days of our lives.<br />
<br />
I praise God for our friends and family, for their prayers and tears, for their encouragement.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I don't know that I have ever felt more loved by my husband than I did during the week we lost Jayden. He found the perfect balance of allowing me to grieve and encouraging me to keep moving forward with life.<br />
<br />
I am so thankful God gave him the strength to do that for me when his heart was breaking too.<br />
<br />
And I'm thankful God continues to show him how to love me on those hard days when I just miss my baby.<br />
<br />
Last year we were able to honor Jayden's birthday by donating to a ministry that hopefully gave women experiencing a miscarriage a tiny bit of comfort.<br />
<br />
I am thankful we had that opportunity and that Jayden's life could be a blessing to others.<br />
<br />
I have received messages from women who have lost their little one too early thanking me for sharing my story because it has encouraged them.<br />
<br />
Those messages are always humbling and I am thankful God has used our pain to bring a bit of beauty to someone's story.<br />
<br />
I am thankful for my family and my friends who have reached out this week to let me know they are thinking of us. I am thankful for my sweet coworkers who just want to love on me even when they are unsure of how to do that. I'm thankful for their honesty about being unsure.<br />
<br />
But most of all I am thankful that I know without a doubt that someday Andrew and I will hold Jayden again and we will celebrate today together.<br />

<a href="https://www.momfessionals.com/2020/01/friday-favorites_10.html"><img border="0" data-original-height="669" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0GI77fSYrPI/XholTuQA56I/AAAAAAAAOqk/-vowQBgGKEEAhdZQPlTI2Ija9LH_i1KCQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Friday%2BFavorites%2B01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Paying off all our debt was probably the best thing Andrew and I did in 2019.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which means in 2020 we are trying to make smarter financial decisions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically I'm supposed to stop eating out so often and there shouldn't be near as many amazon boxes at my front door this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's all about wanting to retire one day or something like that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So since I'm not supposed to be shopping on Amazon, I figure the next best thing was helping you shop on amazon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll just live vicariously through you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here are a few of my favorite Amazon purchases.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can click on any of the pictures to shop, but know they are affiliate links.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<b>ONE.</b></h2>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://amzn.to/2uuRySg"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUBvXPwWSr4/Xhe1nIJVYSI/AAAAAAAAOpU/qvtiheDpnQ8GC6lrp9z2omPaHgraUs1gACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_2385.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So I know you probably aren't thinking about shorts in January, but I seriously love these shorts so much. It has been YEARS since I have worn shorts. I was not on board for the whole tiny shorts era.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But let me tell you I am hear for some appropriate length paper bag waisted shorts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wore these all summer and now I'm dreaming about warmer days when I can wear them again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<b>TWO</b>.</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really just a fan of the paper bag waist. I ordered these cropped pants in July and have worn them several times. I don't have a picture of me in them, but I can assure you they are a favorite in my wardrobe. I want them in all the colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h2>
<b>THREE.</b></h2>
<div>
Okay. Let's leave the clothes behind and move on to some travel items. Y'all know The Weavers love to travel.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been using a Thirty-One make up bag forever. I like it. It's huge and pretty much holds all my stuff, but it is one big compartment. I feel like I spend hours digging for that little bitty eye liner pencil at the bottom.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
New makeup bag to the rescue.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://amzn.to/37TZDhE"><img border="0" data-original-height="522" data-original-width="522" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9HbY-xDQEUs/Xhe7nNKvsBI/AAAAAAAAOpk/EJ0ISO1xi6kv57V52u9_NuYznSfYIsj3wCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/71SkiJKME1L._SX522_.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I ordered this right before Thanksgiving so I have only used it a couple of times, but I am a fan!<br />
<br />
The dividers are movable so you can make each compartment the perfect size for you. It comes in black as well if pink isn't your thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>FOUR.</b></h2>
<div>
A few years ago Andrew found a new phone mount for our cars. The brand is Spigen. It just slides onto your vent so it can be used in any vehicle. This is especially handy when we travel and have a rental car. Andrew actually keeps one in his travel bag for this purpose. We use Spigen phone cases as well. You insert a magnet in the phone case and it sticks to the mount.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm sure I explained that wrong, because I always do. But you get the idea.</div>

Out with the old and in with the new.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always loved the beginning of a new year whether it be a new school year or a new calendar year like today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love a fresh start.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2019 brought a few big accomplishments such as starting grad school and paying off all debts. It brought a new job and new friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It brought our first RV trip and my first solo trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet with all of that it somehow feels like it was an uneventful year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm ready to say goodbye to 2019 and jump on into 2020.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good thing since 2020 is here now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I've always loved turning the page to a new year, I've never been big on resolutions. Some years I make them some years I don't.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I have some overarching goals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a word for 2020.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have never had a word for the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But this year I kept gravitating to a certain word.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know you will not be a bit surprised by the fact that my word stems from my journey with infertility.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I believe God can heal me. I believe He can give me another baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where I struggle is believing He will.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God's love for me is not contingent on whether or not I have a baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But man is it easy to believe the lie that God hasn't given me another baby because I haven't earned His love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my word for 2020 is LOVE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to be more aware of all the ways God shows His love towards me every single day. I want to praise Him for loving me for no other reason than He is God.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to share His love with those around me. I want to see others the way He sees them. I want to love more and judge less.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to be so filled with His love that it pours out of me in everything I do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This past weekend was a long weekend in every way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weekend felt more like a couple of weeks off from work. I didn't realize how much my battery needed to be recharged until mid-recharge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The long weekend left me feeling rested and ready to return to the real world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Though it would have been nice if the alarm had gone off a little later than it did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weekend was long in that we dealt with a dog surgery for Lincoln. I picked him up from camp on Friday and he was only home a couple of hours before he went to the vet. He ended up staying in the emergency clinic and didn't come home until today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've missed him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tampons for Thanksgiving might not have been his best little doggy idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stick to turkey! It goes through a little easier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the long weekend Andrew and I were able to have several different conversations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We talked about our accomplishments this year , our goals for the upcoming year, what we were thankful for this year, and a host of other things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A huge accomplishment for us this past year was paying off all debt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the first time in our married lives we are debt free.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are so very thankful for God's provision.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being debt free is huge, but it is not what I'm most thankful for this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I thought about the past year and the different things God has done for Andrew and me, I couldn't help but think back to this time last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't pregnant AGAIN despite my desire for a Thanksgiving announcement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't loving my job.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was completely indulging in some serious self pity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't muster an ounce of gratitude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it was my turn to share what I was thankful for at Weaver Thanksgiving, I passed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I felt like anything I said was going to be fake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My heart was hard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't thankful for anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still not pregnant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But my heart is able to find much gratitude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God has opened my eyes to all He has done for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can see Him working in the waiting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can see him using my wait and the loss of Jayden to encourage other women.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year my heart is filled with thanksgiving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm thankful for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this year...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm thankful to be thankful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I really wanted to go to Yale.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why Yale?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because that's where Rory Gilmore went to school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I couldn't convince Andrew who had been there before and said Harvard was prettier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So on our last day of vacation we headed to Harvard.<br />
<br />

It was such a fun vacation.<br />
<br />
It gave us the RV travel bug for sure.<br />
<br />
We both came home ready to buy an RV.<br />
<br />
You better believe we will be doing more RV trips in the future and we will be recommending them to every one we know.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Vacationing can be exhausting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So on this day we rested and stayed close to camp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did do a little exploring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andrew heard there was going to be a replica of the Santa Maria nearby and he wanted to check it out. I wasn't all that excited but was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.</div>

I had been saying all along that I wanted to try lobster. This was my opportunity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what did I do?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ate chicken of course.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe next time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After lunch we drove and round and did a little window shopping before heading back for a nap.</div>

Touring mansions can make a girl hungry.<br />
<br />
For lunch we tried a place called Winner Winner.<br />
<br />
It was no Gus's but it was pretty good.<br />

After lunch and mansion touring it was time for another state.<br />
<br />
Mystic, Connecticut was the cutest little town.<br />
<br />
I loved our time here.<br />

Have you ever been whale watching?<br />
<br />
Let me just tell you it was one of the most majestic things I've ever done.<br />
<br />

It brought me to tears to watch these beautiful creatures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was reminded of how amazing our God is and the vast variety of living creatures that he spoke into existence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew it would be cool to see a whale in its natural habitat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had no idea I would love it so much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I'm glad I did because let me tell you the ride out wasn't exactly warm and pleasant.</div>

And this is us after departing. LOL!<br />
<br />
Can you tell I was cold?<br />
<br />
We eventually gave up and went inside.<br />
<br />
If you ever go whale watching, just know you won't miss the whales by staying warm inside.<br />
<br />
The boat will stop when whales are in the area. That's when you go outside.<br />

I don't feel like we were very successful in getting good pictures, but Andrew did get some good video. Honestly I was too in awe to take pictures. Every time a whale would come to surface I would tear up and look at Andrew to make sure he was seeing it.<br />

It was awesome. If you ever get the chance to go whale watching, do it. I can't recommend it enough.<br />
<br />
By the time we got back to the harbor we were starving. I thought I found a pizza place for us, but it wasn't exactly what we had in mind for pizza.<br />
<br />
But they had delicious chicken parm sandwiches that we devoured.<br />

<br />
After stuffing ourselves I was ready for a nap, but there was no time for that.<br />
<br />
I was just starting to enjoy a car nap when it was time for our next adventure.<br />
<br />
Sometimes we visit places and I think "I would love to live here."<br />
<br />
Sometimes we visit places and I think "I could live here."<br />
<br />
And then sometimes we visit Boston.<br />
<br />
I was disappointed with our visit to Boston. Maybe it was because I was so tired and in need of a real nap. Maybe it was because we didn't do any official tours. Maybe it was because historic landmarks have been turned into modern day places of service like Chipotle. <br />
<br />
I'm not sure. I just know Boston was not my favorite.<br />

As we walked around town Andrew kept talking about some cannoli he had years ago when visiting Boston with Stuart. Oh this cannoli. You'd think it was manna from Heaven.<br />
<br />
We went back through his facebook posts trying to figure out where they had eaten them.<br />
<br />
And then...<br />
<br />
Then we found the cannolis.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have I said that about all the days?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We hit the road early and headed toward Massachusetts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I especially enjoyed the views as we drove on this day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Along our way to our next campsite we stopped to pick up our rental car.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We wanted a car to easily navigate the streets of New England.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This means I got to drive the car while Andrew drove the RV.</div>

Another day on the road.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise my husband is more excited than he looks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all he was taking us to an antique boat museum.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It didn't sound interesting to me at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it turned out to be better than I expected.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We started with a tour of La Duchesse, a houseboat the belonged to George Boldt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had never heard of Mr. Boldt before other than knowing we were going to his castle later in the day. Turns out, he was the manager of New York's famous Waldorf-Astoria hotel. Basically he had some money.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We walked onto the houseboat without any problems. But during the hour or so we were on the boat, the water rose and getting off the boat was a little more interesting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got off with no problems but had to exit in a different spot than we landed. We were in awe how quickly the water rose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the house boat tour we walked around the museum and saw some of the most beautiful boats I've ever seen.<br />

There were definitely some impressive boats. <br />
<br />
But it was time to go check out Mr. Boldt's castle.<br />
<br />
Again I knew nothing about the guy before this trip but going to a castle seemed cool.<br />
<br />

So here's what I learned. He had this little island that he and his family enjoyed spending time on and he decided to build a playhouse for his kids on the island.<br />
<br />

<br />
Yep. That's a playhouse built just for his kids complete with a bowling alley and plans for a billard room, library, and cafe.<br />
<br />
<br />
After building the playhouse he decided he should probably build a little something for his wife on the island. He wanted to show her how much he loved her.<br />
<br />
Hence...<br />
<br />
Boltd Castle<br />

He designed a special crest that included a heart and a B to show his love for his wife.<br />
<br />
(I thought we had a picture of it but can't find it)<br />

The parts of the house that were finished were astounding.<br />
<br />
The majority of the house was either unfinished or destroyed because it sat unoccupied for so long.<br />
<br />
In the middle of construction, his wife died suddenly. His heart was broken and not only did he never finished the castle but he never returned to the island.<br />
<br />
What we see now are his intentions that never came to be.<br />

It was a beautiful afternoon on the island.<br />
<br />
Then we were back on the road in the RV. <br />
<br />
Since our trip Andrew and I have talked about how much time we spend driving on these trips. We see and do a lot of things when we vacation, but we also spend A LOT of time in the car, or in this case the RV.<br />

We made it to Burlington, Vermont where we would be calling it a day.<br />
<br />
We got in late but wanted to check out the cute little town so we summoned an uber to take us to dinner.<br />
<br />
Weirdest uber ride of my life.<br />

We ended the night laughing after what had not been our best day.<br />
<br />
Even on amazing vacations like this one, we are still human and we still argue a bit.<br />
<br />
But at the end of the day we're together.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Niagara Falls has been on my bucket list for a while now. Andrew was able to go several years ago and I didn't like the fact that he had been and I hadn't.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He kept telling me it was better from the Canadian side. And while that may be true, I enjoyed our side of the falls quite a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was completely fascinated by the fact that what I saw looking across the water was another country. This is as close as I have ever been to visiting another country.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe one day we'll get our passports and flee the country.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until then we will keep exploring our great country.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Exploring Niagara Falls required quite the little walk from the parking lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the views along the way were pretty amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We were ahead of schedule so we decided to keep on keeping on and see how far we could make it. I looked for campgrounds while Andrew drove.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found a spot on Lake Ontario and it ended up being my favorite campsite of the trip.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
But first we must make yet another trip to Wal-Mart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We bought a grill when we stocked up on groceries that first day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Half way through assembly we realized we bought a charcoal grill when we wanted a gas grill.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Charcoal grill was returned but the gas grill wasn't in stock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So on this day it was yet another trip to Wal-Mart (we had been every day of vacation) to procure the desired gas grill.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that that was out of the way the fun could begin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For most of our trip the temperatures were nice and cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andrew loved it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried not to freeze while demanding that our next trip be some place warm and maybe tropical.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But on the day we visited the Henry Ford Museum I dare say it was HOT.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We got to the museum right around lunch time so once we were parked we made lunch in the RV. I loved this about RV life. You can eat anywhere. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We started with the museum since it was indoors and air conditioned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The place is huge!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was one of those places where the teacher in me starts geeking out. I kept thinking what a cool place it would be for a field trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The presidential cars immediately caught our attention. So much history in the progression of these cars.</div>

A little happier now that I had enjoyed a delicious malt, it was time to start heading to camp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you know we had to stop along the way and dip our toes in a great lake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today it was Lake Eerie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lake was super HIGH.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was cold and not as pretty as the others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Onward to camp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One good thing about RV camping verses tent camping is the amount of time it takes to set up camp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Park the RV, hook up, and you are good to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can get that fire started.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first fire of the trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And not long after I settled in my chair to enjoy it while Andrew grilled dinner the rain came.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rain may have driven me inside but you better believe after all the grill drama a little rain wasn't going to stop the grill master.</div>

Ever heard of Mackinac Island?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hadn't.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least not until we started planning our road trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andrew kept talking about it and asking me all these questions about what I wanted to do there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was like DUDE! I've never even heard of this place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turns out it was one of if not my <b>favorite </b>day of vacation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We packed a sack lunch and planned to picnic once we were on the island.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The growls of my stomach told a different story so we ate while we waited on the next ferry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sandwiches and chips were our <b>favorite </b>on the go lunch while on vacation. And we ended up eating these on the go because our ferry arrived before we could finish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The beauty of the island began on the ferry ride over.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Also a little chilly!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The island is this cute little touristy island where cars are not aloud.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want to get around the island during the summer you have three options.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Foot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Horse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bicycle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While this sounds quaint and fun, keep in mind horses are one-third of the transportation on the island.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Horses may be beautiful animals but the smell they can leave behind is not my <b>favorite </b>if you know what I mean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We chose the bicycle for our method of transportation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved this idea. What is sweeter and more romantic than a bike ride with your sweetheart around an island.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was also a little concerned because being sweaty and pumping those pedals can be the total opposite of sweet and romantic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bike lines are no joke on the island but it was well worth it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my <b>favorite </b>activity of the whole trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The loop around the island was about eight miles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eight flat miles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flat miles are my <b>favorite </b>kind of miles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are sweet and romantic instead of sweaty and gross.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The views of Lake Huron were gorgeous!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Unfortunately we lost the remote very only on in the trip. We ended up using the timer mode on our phones and that worked just fine. We have since ordered some replacement remotes for it. We loved this tripod because it is flexible. We wrapped it around a bicycle handle for this picture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm glad Andrew had the foresight to buy this before our trip. It was easily one of my <b>favorite</b> things we bought for this trip. If you want one you can order your own <a href="https://amzn.to/2RtdrZI">here</a>. </div>

One thing about the island that was not my favorite were the bugs!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mosquitoes were everywhere as you rode along the water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wear sunglasses, keep your head down, and your mouth closed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We veered off the main road to check out the local school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
MISTAKE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My clothes were black from all the bugs that were on me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the school was cute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it was fun to think about living on the island and driving a snomobile to work every day during the winter.</div>

We love some vacation ice cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And while Andrew is still talking about that apple pie ice cream in a waffle cone he ate at Biltmore a few years ago, this salted caramel ice cream in a cone was my <b>favorite</b> vacation ice cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Lake Michigan, you were by far the warmest lake therefore you were my <b>favorite</b>.</div>

Okay... I'm gonna need you to just go with me here because I'm going to back up in the day for a bit. Before we went to Mackinac Island we stopped to see some of the Pictured Rocks. I think I can safely say this road leading out there was Andrew's <b>favorite</b> road of the trip. </div>

We had discussed doing a cruise to see the Pictured Rocks but decided against it in the end so we would have more time on the island. While I don't regret that decision I think if ever given the chance I'd like to take the cruise. </div>

Before I dive into tales of lost luggage and cheese curds, let's answer a few of your questions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that y'all are interested in our little RV adventure. We absolutely loved it and cannot wait to do it again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We booked our RV on May 10 and picked it up on May 25. We pretty much made the decision and then started packing.<br />
<br />
The deal that we did is called the Factory Delivery Deal. It's a way for companies like Cruise American to get their RVs into place at different dealers before peak season. There are three locations you can pick up your RV from with this deal - Toronto, Chicago, or Hastings,MN which is where we chose to start our adventure. <br />
<br />
There are several options to choose from for your final destination. However, depending on the time of year there may be fewer options because again they want the majority of their RVs in place before peak season.<br />
<br />
When I wrote my last post about our trip there were still lots of destinations to choose from. Today as I write this there are only four options.<br />
<br />
You can click <a href="https://www.cruiseamerica.com/rv-rentals/rental-deals/new-vehicle-relocation-deal">here </a>to see the current options.<br />
<br />
If you look at those options you will see that there is a window of time for you to have the RV. You must pick it up by a certain date and then drop it off by a certain date.<br />
<br />
We obviously chose to have the RV for the maximum time possible.<br />
<br />
Now on to the first leg of our trip.<br />
<br />
I had a workshop the day we were to depart so as soon as I could get home, we loaded up the dogs and headed out. The LBs stay at a local doggie day care that they love.<br />

I love this particular doggie resort because they post pictures daily of the dogs. I am totally that dogmom who checks up on her furbabies while I'm away.<br />
<br />
Knowing they are in good hands helps me to relax and enjoy our trip.<br />
<br />
On to the airport we went.<br />

<br />
We had a short layover in Dallas. It was during this time that we realized our second bag, which contained Andrew's clothes, was more than likely not going to make it to Minneapolis when we did. <br />
<br />
I was taking it in stride. It could be worse. At least we were staying at the hotel attached to the airport. We would just pick it up the next morning before we left. <br />
<br />
And then our one bag came shooting down the luggage thing-a-ma-jig. <br />
<br />
It wasn't my bag.<br />
<br />
It was Andrew's bag.<br />
<br />
Suddenly it was harder to take it in stride. HA!<br />
<br />
The next morning Andrew went over and picked it up. I had my clothes for the day with me in my carry-on so I got as ready as I could until he returned with my bag. <br />

<br />
I brushed my teeth, fixed my hair, and did my makeup in about ten minutes.<br />
<br />
We took an uber from the hotel to the place we would pick up our RV.<br />
<br />
We were already excited but seeing all those RVs in the parking lot definitely ramped up the excitement.<br />

Once the guy showed us around the RV and Andrew got all of our equipment set up we were ready to hit the open road.<br />

<br />
We didn't go far before we stopped at Wal-Mart to stock up on groceries and all the things we would need for the RV.<br />
<br />
Our goal for the day was to make it to our first campground in Marquette, Michigan.<br />
<br />
I didn't ask for much on this trip but the very first thing I requested when we had a general idea of where we were going was to eat cheese in Wisconsin.<br />
<br />
So that's what we did.<br />
<br />

We also stopped to dip our toes in Lake Superior.<br />
<br />
Let me just tell you that was the coldest water my toes have ever been in.<br />

I was screaming at Andrew to hurry up and take the dang picture!!<br />

It was pretty late when we finally made it to our campground, but we made it.<br />

We got set up and got our bags unpacked.<br />

Andrew made us a delicious dinner.<br />

Grilled cheese sandwiches made with that Wisconsin cheese and tomato soup.<br />
<br />
We ate it up and then it was time for sleep.<br />
<br />
We had another big day ahead of us.</div>

I have a new <b>favorite </b>pair of shoes. I ordered these <a href="https://amzn.to/2WK4EUp">plastic shoes</a> from amazon while on vacation and they arrived the day after we got home. Much to Andrew's dismay I think I've worn them every day since. They are perfect for summer and going to the pool. I got them on <a href="https://amzn.to/2WK4EUp">Amazon </a>for $20 and I'm thinking I might need to order more colors and start a collection.</div>

Speaking of the pool. I am loving having our neighborhood pool. I have found the sweet little window of time after the mom's take children home to nap and before the teenagers start waking up when I have the pool all to myself. This little window is my <b>favorite </b>time of day.</div>

No one and I mean no one is a bigger dreamer than this guy. For awhile now I've been dreaming about some new adventures in my career. I've been slowly letting Andrew in on these dreams since January. I was scared to say them out loud. I was afraid he would laugh and tell me I'm crazy. I was afraid he would grab hold of my dream and push me to pursue it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He did the second of the two. On our last day of vacation as we were traveling home, we discussed my dreams and they very quickly became OUR dreams. He caught my vision and was more than ready to encourage me to go even bigger.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is my <b>favorite</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves me well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of you have noticed that I'm working on expanding my teacher "brand". This is a small piece of those drams I was just talking about. Thank you for sharing my FB page and ideas. Your love and support is my <b>favorite</b>.</div>

And I say, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yes, I would wander far away; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would lodge in the wilderness; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Psalm 55:6-8</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Much like David wanted to run away from his enemy, there are many days I want to run away from infertility. I want it to just be over. Some days that's a desire to finally hold my baby in my arms and some days it's a desire for the longing for a baby to disappear, to be content and no longer have that desire to hold a baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Later in that very same Psalm David says "But I will trust in you." (verse 23)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Father, I trust you. I trust you today when I'm feeling hopeful and I trust on on those days when the pain feels more than I can bear and I want to run away from it all. I trust you because no one loves me more. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No one loves you more than your Heavenly Father.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trust him.</div>
