better late than never

this is a picture of our new house. 


just kidding, this is where we went for our one year anniversary (still not exactly sure where we were, somewhere in the Ozarks between Arkansas and Oklahoma).    

dang, we are approaching fall and i am just now posting our 1 year anniversary pictures from spring.  i guess this post can be in celebration of our 1.5 year anniversary which is this month??

we did some hiking...

some kayaking (jerry did anyways- the water was waaaay to cold for me to risk falling in)...

and lots of talking and enjoying the scenery.

here's the view of the river that was a lot murkier than normal since there was a storm the night we arrived.  

way out there the stars are really bright and the lightening is even brighter!  i was excited because one of my favorite things is a lightening storm and that was the second time God planned a lightening storm at the beginning of a little getaway.


there was no tv, dvd or dishwasher so i bought paper plates and read a lot :)  i think this book was A Reason for God.  

every night Jerry gathered firewood

and with much precision, 

and careful alignment,

built us a fire


viola!

What a fabulous place to go to! I wonder where it was. I love those type of places - where you can sit outside, crisp and cool, and watch the fire.
