This past week Joe and I took a road trip to visit my sister and her fiance in Gulf Shores. They moved there last August and I hadn't seen her since March when my mom and I were able to spend a week there for my Spring Break.
I was looking forward to this vacation, not only because I was going to get to see Taylor, but also because I feel like I'm living my life in 2 week increments right now and I needed a break from this perpetual cycle of counting days, symptom spotting, and medication.
We left right after Joe got off work on Tuesday and made it there by Wednesday morning. We drove through the night and had a blast talking and laughing. I even had my first Waffle House experience at 3am!
Long story short...we had a blast! It was great to spend time with my entire family and swim in the ocean. There's something about the ocean that makes you really appreciate God's masterpiece.
We were able to do some wedding planning while we were down there and I know Taylor appreciated it. As always, it was hard to leave. We probably won't see her until Christmas, which is way too hard to think about. Family has always been so important to both Joe and I so the thought of only seeing Taylor and Ed 2-3 times a year just tears me a part.
Overall, it was a great vacation and it was amazing to get away from everything causing so much stress!
