We are beach lovers! That is probably no secret to those who know us in real life... We grew up near the coast of Florida so it certainly makes sense, but we really really love a beach vacation. This week we are really living it up with our family on Sanibel Island. We have quite a nice routine out here...eat, bike ride, eat, beach, eat, card games, eat, movie, eat, sleep & REPEAT.
Time together is such a treasure. We try to never take for granted the opportunity to gather around the table or float in the ocean together. For so many years we lived in different states and only saw each other a handful of times a year. Now that we live two hours away from each other we make it a priority to get face-to-face weekly during the summer and bi-weekly during the school year. There is nothing like the support and encouragement of family. Being surrounded by these people is about as good as it gets!
That is one of the reasons we are so happy to have all of you here reading along - you feel like family to us too! We hope you feel supported and encouraged by these weekly "check-ins" & that you know we are in your corner cheering you on (whatever you endeavor to do or whoever you are working to be!). Since we are feeling especially grateful and full-hearted this week we are sending extra big love and hugs to all of you && prayers for a wonderful week.
XOXO,
Marc & Barb
