Just You And Me

This past weekend, Eric and I had a 30 hour getaway to Baltimore so we could celebrate 10 years of marriage. We stayed in a little town called Fells Point. I can't even begin to explain or tell all the amazing stories of how the LORD kissed us over and over again.

It began when a man walked up to us, we literally left the hotel about 2 minutes beforehand, and asked for money. Eric told him he didn't have any cash, but he could pray for him instead. We stood on the cobblestone street, holding hands and praying and a delivery truck stops right beside us. The driver hops out, walks across the street and grabs our hands and starts praying with us. We ended up crying together and finding out that we all were in the same boat...needing a miracle from the LORD. All of us loved Jesus and were thankful to have shared a moment of encouragement together. And both of their names were Anthony...which we looked up later and found out means, priceless...go figure! 

We also got a free limo ride to our restaurant with the best seats, on the balcony, which overlooked the rose garden and live music. My heart was so overwhelmed with the beauty of it all, I just started crying. It was like walking in the Garden Of Eden. And the food was incredible! Oysters on the shell, calmari, jumbo shrimp, lamb chops, crab cakes....heavenly!

After dinner, we took a walk on the cobblestone roads around the harbor. So romantic! And our room was the best one in the hotel...first floor, corner room, exposed brick, two massive windows...floor to ceiling, water 20 feet from us with a view of the boats and the full moon!

We enjoyed a morning run on the promenade which is a brick pathway that leads for miles around the water. Came back to an amazing continental breakfast outside in the beautiful courtyard where 8 baby ducks had just been born and were waddled around. Seriously...the whole trip was planned by the LORD for us to just relax and enjoy our surroundings and each other.

We ate some pizza in Little Italy and found a beautiful park, Oregon Ridge on the way home where we enjoyed a hike in the woods and a little tour of their nature center. So we got the best of both worlds...the city and the woods.

The kids did great with my mother-in-law and we could not have asked for a more perfect retreat! Thankful for time away with the one my heart loves. Ten years down, 100 more to go!
