Best way to end the year

Words fall short to express what an amazing little getaway Josh and I got to have to end the year. Travelers Rest, SC is a hidden gem! This past summer, in the thick of a stressful time, I decided we needed a getaway, and I made this reservation almost on a whim. I perused Airbnb and happened to find this new spot—a cool treehouse tucked away in the woods. So private and serene, but minutes away from the cutest little town filled with shops and an amazing trail, the Swamp Rabbit Trail. At the time I clicked on “reserve these dates,” I had no idea how much we would need to get out of town. It has been such a sweet few days. The Lord provided, and we are grateful.

We have rested. We have read. We have talked. We have shopped for our home. We have walked so many miles on the trail. We visited Greenville. We have eaten some great food. (Josh learned I’m not a fan of crepes.) We have dreamed together. We’ve planned. We’ve prayed. We have connected and unplugged from distractions. We journaled. We laughed. We sat on the porch in silence and listened to nature. We star gazed right from the little home. Sweet memories were made.

The mornings are my favorite!

This is me, giddy to be in such a beautiful spot with my coffee! Josh was laughing at me sitting out in the cold. There are benefits to midlife for women🤣🤣🤣 I wasn’t cold one bit.
This is Josh—inside reading his Bible where it was warm.
No matter what time of day, this place made a pretty picture!

Thank You, Lord, for providing just what we needed. You always do. These two travelers feel rested and refreshed for all You have for us.
