A weekend to celebrate

Wow - As Matt and I were talking about the last two years during his school, we both agree that it has been two of the most crazy years of changes, challenges and growth - and then add school on top of that. We are blown away by the strength that the Lord has provided through it all, because many times I think we both could really have struggled, but God pulled us through it all and showed us so much of what He can do through us. So - before I write way too much, I will move on to our night away. We decided it would be so great to have a family getaway, mostly for Emma, for us all to just play together and have fun. So thats just what we did!

We did some swimming at the hotel.

Headed to the Rodeo for a GREAT day! Yes - that baby goat is chewing on my bag.

Emma and dad did some rides, it was her first time and she loved them all!

And just enjoyed being together.

So - this picture says it all to me - Dad is back, in full force and we could not be more thrilled!

I think we each got exactly what we were needing from the weekend. Matt got to just be with us. He and I sat up in the hotel on Saturday night and looked at lights for our house and felt like such a normal couple again. Emma got some great play time, new experiences at the rodeo and family time. And this pregnant mama got to relax a little, sit back and take pictures of my husband and daughter having quality time together - nothing more precious. Life definitely is not going to slow down for these Wallers, but we are excited for a new chapter, new challenges and new growth - at least we will be doing it together!
