Here's what we did....

Oh my goodness!!! This has taken me months to finish!!! 

So here is what we did on our break!

At the end of March, Elliott and I went on a 10 day honeymoon to Orlando. While we were there, we went to Disney World and Universal studios. We had so much FUN, and it was great to get away for a while. Thank you to everyone who helped with our honeymoon fund! We are so blessed!

This was the first time we saw the sun in five months...not even exaggerating.

We stayed right at a Disney Resort, so we could be shuttled right to the parks. 

We had hopper passes at Disney which were really nice. We could go to the parks early, come back and take a nap in the afternoon, and go to a different park for dinner.

(I tried to get Elliott to buy the matching bride and groom ears, but it didn't happen. So I just got bride ears) 


Then I made him do a wedding photo shoot with me. 
  
Epcot was probably my favorite spot. There was plenty of things to do and the flowers there were so pretty.

Elliott's favorite part was the food, and riding expedition Everest 6 times!!



After we stayed at Disney for a week, we went to Universal Studios for 3 days. We stayed at a brand new resort there and the rooms were super awesome! 


It basically had two rooms. A living room and then a bedroom. 

...and Harry Potter World!


The weekend after we got back, Elliott went to Louisville for a Together for the Gospel conference. He had a lot of fun hanging out with college buddies, and he learned a lot from the speakers there. It was weird not having him home, but I did massive spring cleaning while he was gone. 

And to finish out the traveling section of our vacation, we went Minnesota to see friends from project that we got to know two summers ago. I missed them so very much. They are just so encouraging and God glorifying, and I wished they/we lived closer. 

 After we got back from all the traveling, we started coaching JV soccer. Because of all the cancellations due to weather, a lot of weeks we had three games. It took a lot more time then I thought it would, but it was really fun. And we are thankful for the opportunity to coach. 

That probably brings you up too this treatment. 

We are thankful for the "normal" phases and we are also thankful for the "not normal" phases. In all seasons we are learning about God's faithfulness and mercy. I am so glad we got to have this time off! It was such a joy!
