Special Place: LIB

When I first became a Christian, about 9 years ago I found this place called LIB that had a pond and tons of trails. I began going there, and truly got to know my God there. I would go before school some mornings and hike back into the trees and sit by the pond and worship and learn about my Lord. It was such an amazing place that I have always felt closest to my Lord.

Once Tim and I became friends I introduced him to this place and we spent a lot of time there getting to know each other, and praying for each other. After a few months Tim took me there and told me he felt the Lord was leading him into a relationship with me, and we began dating! Throughout our entire relationship LIB was a very special place to us. We would go there often to talk, praying, and spend time in God's creation. I love the memories LIB holds.

2 years ago when we were going to do my maternity photos with Gracelyn we decided to take them while visiting Rockford at LIB. It was awesome to take photos there, knowing the history this special place held.

It was such a blessing to get to take some photos at LIB 2 years ago and carry on how special this place is to Tim and I!

Last weekend we got the privilege to head back to LIB during a visit to Rockford with Aaron and Julie. We decided to snap a few more photos there, with Gracelyn to continue the memories that this place holds for us! Here are some photos we took :)

Our best friends Aaron and Julie may be moving away very soon. They have been like an Aunt and Uncle to Gracelyn and I can't imagine Gracelyn's life without them. She loves them so very much. It will for sure be an adjustment for her if they leave. 

We love you guys!

 Tim's parents came and met us at LIB as well. Getting a family picture was rather difficult though because Gracelyn wanted to run around and play :) This is the best we got!

 Gracelyn also got to spend some time with Grandma Kim this weekend since we had a wedding to go to :)

It was awesome to be at LIB and such a surreal moment to be there, walking the trails holding hands with Tim like we used to 8 years ago! This time we just had 2 sweet daughters with us :) Can't wait to go back and get another family picture after Avalyn is born!

I'll post the rest of the photos on Facebook :-)
