An Update and Sanibel

2014 hasn't gone as we expected.  Winter was horrendous, something like 45 days below zero.  On top of that, Jim was laid off in January after a fun weekend to visit friends. God has provided for us, but it certainly has been overwhelming at times.  We still aren't sure what God has in store for us.

We had planned a Spring Break trip to Sanibel and weren't sure we would be able to still do that but we desperately needed the break. Jim had given plasma over the past year to cover the gas and we could stay in Jim's parents condo.  So we packed food to eat on the way and while at the condo, drove 24 hours and made it work! 

The weather was beautiful, the kids well behaved, and we were just so thankful to get a break from the stress.  It was for all of us to introduce Callie to Sanibel and so many other things! Their joy at playing outside and experiencing some new adventures was so wonderful. Honestly, even the drive was fun.. it was just so nice to be warm and away from the stress of day to day. 

Here is a link to pictures from the trip on my shutterfly account:
