hilton head island

This past weekend, I whisked Taylor away for a surprise birthday weekend on Hilton Head Island! His birthday is Jan 23 and mine is Jan 28. He was completely shocked and didn't have any ideas what we were doing until about an hour into the drive. He thought we were going out to a nice dinner. Little did he know, I had our bags packed and in the trunk (where he couldn't see) and we were off on a 4 hour drive to the beach! Friends of ours, Neil & Susan, have a condo that they let us use for free! It was such a blessing. Taylor and I were able to relax and just enjoy one another and the beautiful scenery on the island. It was definitely too chilly to go swimming, but we had a great view of the pool and it was a short walk to the beach, which was awesome! Saturday was a little cold & rainy, but Sunday was beautiful! We had a nice dinner at the Red Fish restaurant, checked out the shops at Sea Pines and Harbourtown, and walked on the beach. It was such a great time.

I really felt like this time was important for Taylor and I to be away together and dream. I felt like the Lord was really speaking to me about dreaming about our future - our home, our children, our future... It was a refreshing time and we are excited about dreaming...

Enjoy some pictures of our trip...
