Big Cedar

This past weekend we got to relax at Big Cedar! It was really great to rest in a cabin in front of a roaring fire. Lilly loved going for a long walk and seeing new things. The food was awesome, too. There were only a few times where it got rough. Lilly freaked out just as I was falling asleep so I jumped out of bed tangled in the sheet and hit the hardwood floor with a thud. Matt said it was similar to a cartoon that was too fast for her feet. Lilly vomited all over me, her, and the bed at one point. And I almost murdered Matt's phone because the alarm went off when we could have slept in peace for another hour. Other than that we had a really great time!! The best part was waking up and going outside to feel the cool morning air that smelled like campfire and then ordering room service for breakfast and eating in our PJs. That is the perfect vacation.

Our little girl has changed so much in the past two weeks. She has discovered her hands and how tasty they are in her mouth. She also loves to lift her legs in the air and play with her knees. So cute. She gets more fun each day.

I love to go on trips with Matt because we can turn the radio off and just talk for hours. It's so good to drive and reminisce about all the great things God has done for us. We love to look back at our lives and see how God changed us and our plans for the better. Sometimes what we think is our failure or mistake is actually Him redirecting us where He wants us to go.

Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping. For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.

Psalm 66
