One Year!

(I'm so grateful that this post could be my first. What a happy event to share with y'all!)

I can't believe it has been a year! When you are with the one you love time goes by in memories, not days. However, I am glad that time does keep ticking because I like the excuse anniversaries give us to dote on each other and to tell the world to go away because this day is ours.

To celebrate, John and I went to a local state park for a picnic and a spectacular hike in one of the area's gorges. I chose this destination because it has 19 waterfalls!! Yippee!

The day was so refreshing! We just love being swallowed up in natural beauty that spurns our imaginations and gets us excited about life.

After our hike we realized, to our surprise and happiness, that where we parked the car and were going to eat lunch, a small folk music festival was going on. So while we were being serenaded with fiddles, we enjoyed a picnic that reflected some of the menu items we had at the wedding: BBQ sandwiches, Mac n' Cheese, Funfetti cupcakes, and Virgil's Root Beer! (Now I have to pause here and give a thanks to my mom who came up with the menu idea....thanks mom!) We were eventually chased out of the park by summer thunderstorms, but we enjoyed the rest of the evening relaxing at home and enjoying our time together.

Now I know that you all want to know more about where we are and what we are up to at work, so no worries! I will get to all of that in a future post! But until then...

Happy Trails
