Sitting on the balcony drinking Welches Sparking Grape Juice (my drink of choice, don’t judge), watching the waves roll onto the beach, resting after a long bike ride through trails lined with tall pines…sounds like paradise! Our recent trip to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for our first anniversary exceeded expectations.

One of the biggest reasons I started this blog was to share budget travel tips and options. Both Eric and I work full-time jobs in ministry. Between our monthly expenses, saving for a home, and other miscellaneous (sometimes unexpected) costs, there is not always a lot of money leftover for travel.

“There has been a murder in Savannah…I do declare!” Sorry, The Office quote…couldn’t resist.

Savannah, Georgia! A place that has been on our list of places to visit for a while and we finally made it for our 1 year anniversary. We were just passing through, on our way to Hilton Head Island, but it was wonderful to walk around and explore the city.

Today is the day! Eric has released his first worship album, Whoever Is Wise. It’s a beautiful compilation of covers and original arraignments of hymns and praise songs that have significantly impacted his faith. Inspired by Psalm 107: 43, “Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things and consider the steadfast love of the Lord.”

I think Spring has sprung here in Orlando. The flowers are starting to bloom and the weather is getting warmer. I can hardly wait for the first beach day of 2018, its coming soon I can feel it in my bones. Eric and I just returned from a weekend trip to Savannah and Hilton Head Island, and it was wonderful. There are some big changes on the horizon of our little family, so I am striving to enjoy each moment we have right now. And no, I’m not pregnant.
