This is our picture from our family vacation in St. George Island, Florida! A very, very, family friendly place! Derek has been coming here with his family for years, but this year was different. First I was there, which he hasn't come since we've been married due to many other irons in the fire!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But I was truly myself! As always I spoke and must have told every mom how adorable her child was. I'm sure people thought I was crazy!!! Or thought,,now kids stay away from that lady!! As we watched the adventures of the kids feeding the birds, we often would say I can't wait till we can bring our child to the beach and play in the sand.... My niece and nephew always comment on Aunt Mindy's talking to every mom about their adorable child. I guess it is the hole that we want to fill with the love of a child one day.. I even made a friend at the Piggley Wiggley of all places in the world! This vacation was a blessing to bond with our family before a child and enjoy our time knowing one day, just one day it will be less about us and more about the child that God has intended for us. Derek even stated, "You know I think some how we will value family time more now as we have waited so long for it." I agreed laughing and thinking....HMMMMMM you just wait!! We are going to have a blast with children..Except I will teach my kids to drop the bread before the seagulls attack us!! Those kids were getting flocked by every bird... We enjoyed this blessing of time and can't wait for next year or the year after that to take a child with us on the "family vacation." It might just have to change from the beach to a really kid friendly place,,,guess that all depends on the age and our lives at the time. No matter what we do we know our families are ready for this blessing to spoil and love unconditionally any child that comes our way!
Until Next Time.....Love, Laugter, Coos and Poos...enjoy every minute dreaming of your children, but remember to enjoy the time with your spouse to grow on this amazing journey of faith.
PS: And no, Derek didn't photo bomb the picture! I asked him to stand with me in the picture!!!
