Beach Vacation for our 5 year Anniversary

We celebrated our 5 year anniversary on the 26th of June. It landed on the Free Methodist Annual Conference so we celebrated a couple of days later by going to the beach. We had three beautiful days of sunshine in Lincoln City. This is the great view of the beach from our room. (ignore the dates on the pics.... we didn't change it yet)

We found a great local coffee shop and enjoyed yummy coffee in "for here" mugs. Coffee always taste better in "for here" mugs! (Decaf for me of course :O)) Kyle loves his black coffee!

I had visions of us spending tons of time reading and playing on the beach but when we got there the wind was SO strong even I didn't want to stay out long! The beach is always windy but this was crazy! We ventured out once or twice and our feet were pelted with sand and we had to keep our heads down or we would get a mouthful of sand! It was an adventure!

Each day we relaxed, read books, ate good food, took naps and just enjoyed being in one another's company! It was so wonderful for us to get away and concentrate on each other. It was slightly bittersweet celebrating five wonderful years together but also realizing it was our last vacation as a couple. We are thrilled to become parents and can't wait to meet Addison yet there is a piece of us that will miss our years without children. I am so excited for the ways that God is preparing us and getting us ready to have her in our lives.
Kyle, Thank you for being such an amazing husband to me! I am so thankful for you, the memories we have made and life journey we are on together! Here is to a lifetime of more memories! I love you!
