Celebrate!

This weekend I had the luxury of celebrating my four year wedding anniversary with my hubby. We went up to beautiful McCall, ID. When we got married (Jan 12, 2007) we started the tradition of going skiing to celebrate our wedding day. On our 1 year wedding anniversary we went to Bogus Basin to ski but have not been skiing since. But for great reason. On our second anniversary I was pregnant with McKenna and we signed the papers for our first house! So it was still really special! On our three year anniversary we were not able to go because I was nursing McKenna who refused to take a bottle and be left with anyone besides her dad or I. So I felt we were DUE for a little weekend getaway.

Once we got checked into our hotel at Shore Lodge, we went to lunch at Subway and then headed to Brundage to hit the slopes.

This is the man who makes my life complete

He gives me that cheesy dimply smile :)

On the lift, ready for some action!

God's beauty being captured

Love this! See our little shadow in the upper left corner?

Amazing view (PLUS the trail sign looks like a cross)

After a great time skiing, we went back to our hotel room and got ready for dinner. We went to My Father's Place and had amazing burgers, fries, and hot chocolate. It's another tradition of ours to go there to eat when we're up in McCall. 

Just happy!

 

 After we ate we drove down to Donnelly and went to Gold Fork Hot Springs. It was a bit crowded for us love birds, but it was incredibly relaxing and warm! The water that it. It was so cold outside my hair froze walking back to the car!

We had an amazing time getting away for the weekend. It's not always easy to find sitters and leave our kids. But I know the importance of setting aside time for our relationship. I benefited a lot from the alone time I got with Andy. And I think that we both felt refreshed heading back home to see our kids. I'm still crazy in love with the man I married 4 years ago and look forward to MANY MANY MORE years together, happily married.
