We went to Myrtle Beach this past week. We stayed in a 3BR, 2Bath full kitchen condo with Ellen and Brett (aka GiGI and Popa). We had not been to Mrytle in over 10 years and it was a nice trip. There was hardly any one there. It was nice to go to restaurants and there be no lines. The only time there was a small line was when we went to the aquarium and even then it was not that bad.
When we pulled up in parking garage we said we are here at the beach and I really think that Rylie thinks that the parking garage is the "beach" because she called the ocean "awa" (water) . Thankfully she LOVED the water, especially the heated lazy river. She got on her small float and just floated around the pool. She did so great this week. You know you worry about being away from her bed and trying to potty train, but she was a trooper she had one poopy in her little swimmers, because she didn't want to go in to the restroom. ( Rest assured she pooped out of the pool in her lil swimmers...thank God). We were so proud of her. She feed some fishes and some ducks at the aquarium.
Also the ocean aka "awa" was a tad bit cold so you should have seen all of us digging her out her own personal pool out in the sand and then filling it with water. She thought she was something else in there. Popa and Daddy was at her beck and call at the beach if she wanted more "awa" then they fetched it for her. It was funny. I have a lot more pictures to share but haven't had time to down load them as of yet. It is crazy I took SOOOO many pictures this time...she was just too funny this time around. She is getting such a personality and man it shows.
We had a great vacation, but as with all vacation they are just too short:( and of course we ate entirely too much....
Also this is a praise report for us as well. Robbie and I did the Dave Ramsey classes through our church and have been trying to budget and save as much as we can. It is a LONG process we didnt get into debt overnight and it will not go away overnight. Dave Ramsey would be proud in a way and then again not be proud of us. But we are proud of ourselves. We budgeted and paid cash for the entire vacation this year everything paid for. This is the first time we EVER paid cash for EVERYTHING....Dave would be proud of that, however he would probably had said stay at home, and not go and take that money and put on your debt...but we REALLY wanted to go somewhere for awhile. It was nice to get away for awhile and spend some QUALITY time together as a family. Kelly I know you are feeling me:)
We just pray that God continues to watch over our finances so that we can get out of debt and be able to do God's will with our money when he calls us to. We want to be able to be a blessing to others.
I take Rylie back for a follow up appt tomorrow...please pray for health and healing for Rylie she has had a rough time with that little bug she had.
