Josh and I celebrated our Anniversary on Saturday. Though I would have rather been somewhere warm with my sand in the toes we had a great day anyway. We had originally planned on having a stay-cation at home and having a night alone without the kiddos but of course plans usually don't go as planned. Both Eli and Olivia weren't feeling great and we ended up offering our house for the Junior high boys to stay for our church's Youth Fall retreat. That was 15 Junior high boys, 2 Youth leaders, 4 members of Josh's brother's family and then of course us! So 25 people in my house from Friday to Sunday doesn't make for a quiet anniversary weekend. We were able to head up to the mountains for several hours on Saturday ALONE.. which was nice. We hiked down in Linville Gorge to a camping spot and waterfall that we've not visited in years, took a drive on the Parkway, had dinner in Blowing Rock at the Best Cellar and then shopped a bit on the Shoppes on the Parkway. During our entire 1 1/2 hour hike we saw no one, enjoyed the leaves, the beautiful weather, and each other's company. Most days it seems like every time we start a conversation someone needs our attention and it was especially nice going out to dinner without having to entertain, feed, and keep the littles still. Happy Anniversary Josh, thanks for being a great husband and father! The kiddies and I love you!
