Little Jerkins Getaway

These last few months we have been on an emotional roller coaster. It has been a bittersweet time for goodbyes, hellos and everything else in between. God has been moving in our lives like never before. Our minds have literally been spinning the last few months as God has revealed many different truths to us. We decided we needed to get away from our normal routine just the two of us and relax.

Enter one of our favorite places on earth: Heber Springs, AR.

D has been going there since he was a kid for family vacations. The last 12 years I've been graciously allowed to join them. The scenery is beautiful. There is nothing fancy about this small, lake town, but its a refreshing escape like no other. We actually spent our 1st anniversary here as well. So when we tried to decide where we'd like to go on our getaway there answer was a no brainer. We literally only had about 30 hours to getaway but even that was well worth it.

We left Friday at lunch time and headed north. We stopped in Bald Knob at one of our favorite places: Bulldog Restaurant for a quick snack.

 

Then before we knew it we were looking at this....

Even though we were gone a short period of time, its amazing how getting away from the hustle and bustle of life can give you new perspective and a refreshed spirit.... and a sunburn.


Though these last few months have been the most difficult of our lives, we are so thankful for them. They have brought us closer as a couple and most importantly closer to Christ.

So the little Jerkins getaway proved to be a refreshing success and one that will be repeated year after year.... maybe with some more sunscreen next time.
