Come Walk With Me . . .

I wanted to post these photos for "Wordless Wednesday" yesterday but instead I spent the afternoon in Hobby Lobby.  Oh my goodness!!  I think I found a new favorite store!!

Here are the photos of our hike from last weekend's getaway that Jim and I took.  It truly was perfect weather for a walk in the woods.

 Being the corny couple that we are, we did indeed kiss in front of the Kissing Tree.  : )

Being the OBSESSED "The Walking Dead" fans that we are, we both of course commented that these were perfect "walker woods!!!"  Wouldn't you agree Mrs. Sage and Spirit ???  : )

We interrupted these two love birds that were hanging out at the heart-shaped pond.  It really was heart-shaped.  These Cove Haven people really thought of everything!!!

Perfect ending to a perfect walk in the woods!!  <3 br="">

I needed to revisit that serenity.  I have a crazy couple of days ahead.  I'm cooking dinner for a houseful on Easter Sunday which means cleaning and food shopping.  I haven't even done any Easter basket stuff shopping yet.  Megan has a birthday party smack dab in the middle of the afternoon today.  Did I mention the kids have been off from school this week.  UGGHH!!! AND my poor son Trevor has to be in a cast for another six weeks.  Before he broke his leg Christmas week, he broke a small bone in his foot while stepping out of a truck at work.  The stress of favoring that leg while the other leg healed caused the little break to not heal properly and the other day he was walking and felt a pop.  It was him re-breaking that little foot bone.  The doctor told him it's going to need surgery if he doesn't get it completely healed this time around so it's back in a cast for six weeks starting tomorrow.  This poor kid has broken bones in both his feet three times now and broken his leg all in the last six months.  Thank goodness he has a positive attitude.  : )

Trevor 19 years ago.  Can you stand it??  : )  I couldn't resist!!!

Happy Thursday all!!  ~ Wendy

A Weekend Getaway . . .

My honey and I spent this past weekend away in the Poconos in Pennsylvania.  When I tell you it was much needed, it was MUCH NEEDED.  No kids.  No pets.  No interrupted conversations.  No one crawling in bed between us at 2 am.  We stayed at the Cove Haven which is a "couples only" resort on a beautiful lake.  It is barely two hours away from our house which is perfect in my book.  We had the best time!!! 

I think you get the picture.  : )

Jim had two vases of flowers waiting for me in the room.  One was full of wildflowers and the other had daisies which are my two favorite kinds of flowers.  We had chocolate covered strawberries, a heart-shaped jacuzzi, a sauna for two and a pool in our room.  Other then the pool, I think my favorite part of the room was the ceiling above the bed.  When the lights were out, it was filled with tons of little twinkling lights that looked like stars.  I told Jim I felt like we were trapped in I Dream of Jeannie's bottle when we were laying in bed.  : )

Above is a photo of the van you called if you didn't feel like taking your car or walking to the different events that were going on throughout the weekend.  I laughed my ass off when I saw this.  Sooo cheesy which made it sooo wonderful!!!!!

A little more cheesiness for your enjoyment!!  . . .

On Friday night, we had a delicious dinner and then went across the street to "Spooners" where they had a bar and a DJ.  We also discovered something new about each other.  We both love to play pool!!! We had a blast and had a table all to our ourselves until after midnight. 

The next day, Jim surprised me with side by side massages at their spa.  It was wonderful and much needed.  When we went to Turks and Caicos for our honeymoon, we had side by side massages on the beach scheduled but had to cancel because we both got really bad sunburn the day before.  It wasn't the same as being on a beach but it was so relaxing.  Don't tell Jim I told you this but I even heard him snore a couple of times.  : )

We had gorgeous weather and took a hike on a nature trail that was on the property.  I took a bunch of photos that I'll share next time.

I just have to say that I am so very blessed to have such an amazing man in my life.  He's not perfect.  I'm not perfect.  We're not perfect.  We have our arguments, God knows.  Moving has been a big adjustment for everybody and there are days when stress levels are high.  There are so many different personalities living under one roof.  So many dogs and cats living under one roof.  So many different age groups living under one roof.   I think it's so important for couples to not lose sight of why they fell in love in the first place.  Jim is kind and caring and funny and smart.  He's an amazing dad and a wonderful husband.  I tell him he's my "friend with benefits."  Haha!!  Not too shabby for almost ten years of being together!!  : )


Happy Wednesday to you ~ Wendy
