Vacation is so heavenly. I'm not sure you quite understand the work of a pastor unless you are married to one or closely related to one, but not much is discussed in our home that doesn't have something to do with church. A youth program, the next worship set, a new song he wants to try, a student or leader or meeting or ........you get it right?
When we go on vacation, we don't talk about ANY of our responsibilities and it is so awesome. Now please don't get me wrong. We love what we do, but we love to be just a little less consumed by work at times too. I feel as if I make a list of things I want to talk to John about because by the time he gets home from the office or a meeting or whatever his day has held for him, he is completely out of words. He typically just wants to hang out and be still. So on vacation, I get ready with all I want to talk to him about because he's ALL MINE & I love it!
Savannah was the destination that John chose for us this year. We considered a cruise but then after finding that we were expecting our little bundle of joy we decided to still go away but on a little less expensive outing. This was probably smart considering that I am at the very end of my first trimester and absolutely exhausted at times. It was nice to not deal with waves and motion sickness. Savannah was the perfect choice. It was beautiful, calm, cool and had some awesome food (something else a pregnant lady loves!)!

We enjoyed a couple of days at Tybee Island, walked down on the river and had a fun historic carriage ride one night. I think our favorite place by far was Paula Deen's. We went back and forth with whether or not it was worth it for us to wait in line at 8:00 AM to make a reservation for dinner but after many people had suggested it, we went for it & it was so worth it. Fried chicken, ribs, beef stew, mashed potatoes, collards, black eyed peas....O' the list went on and on! What's not to love about that menu?
Our Carriage Ride- Luke was the one who did all the work!
Paula's Buffet Ya'll!

2nd trimester is a BLAST! The extreme fatigue and morning sickness didn't go away over night, but gradually I began to feel better and I feel GREAT now! I hope it goes even better for you.
