Trip to the Mountains

Franklin, NC
We took a mini-vacation with Rach and Matt to my Great Aunt's cabin in NC. We had a wonderful time doing nothing but sleeping, eating, and playing games/puzzles, etc. It was so refreshing! Dan and Matt enjoyed a bit of tubing down the very slow creek. Ask Matt about the sun he got! One of the best parts was driving over the mountain, along the Nantahala River. We would love to go back and actually go down the river! Next time? Anyone wanna come? We didn't have time to play any golf (Grammie, that's for you), except for one round of mini-golf :). Pictures are coming when Matt and Rach are able to download them from their camera!

A Day of Adventure

Today was an exciting day of hiking and junk food! We rounded up a troop of trailblazers (consisting of Forrest and Elizabeth Bundrick, Kenneth Shirey, and George Lowe) and, under the supervision of responsible adults, trekked on into the dark reaches of Stumphouse Tunnel. Having prevailed through the darkness, we challenged the hike to the bottom of Issaqueena Falls where we got some great pictures. That was the hiking part.

The junk food part involved Pop Tarts for breakfast, Taco Bell for lunch, Sweet Treats ice cream for dessert, and Pizza Hut for dinner. That is okay, though. Our pizza was a supreme, so we had our vegetables for the day! All in all, it was a great day. Now, we are ready for bed!

Anniversary Gifts

Last night, we were finally able to exchange our anniversary gifts. It was a lot of fun :). Dan gave me an apron from Williams-Sonoma. I had only mentioned that I would like an apron, since that is one thing that I didn't have, and somehow he remembered it! He also got an ice cream scoop -- we kind of bent the other one we had and it was coming apart. The new one is pretty sturdy! Come and enjoy ice cream with us soon, ok? I gave Dan a book with pictures from our first year. I have been the worst about getting pictures printed off, so that is definitely one of my projects for the summer.

Cody

Cody has been a lot of fun. One of his favorite things to do is fetch sticks. He loves it when we take 2 sticks and he fetches one, comes back, and goes to fetch the next. He could spend hours repeating the cycle. Pretty cheap entertainment to say the least!

Mother's Day

We have the most wonderful mothers in the world, no doubt. Unfornutately, the Chocolate truffles we mailed to Ohio turned into a giant chocolate block. We can take that off the "gifts to mail" list! For my mom, dinner and a card found its way to the table on Sunday. We enjoyed talking with both of our mothers and to Grammie Campbell and Grandma Kline on Sunday....how blessed we are!!!

Proverbs 31:28-31

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:"Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all."Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.
