14 Years Together!

Steven and I started dating 14 years ago! We dated for six years and we have been married for eight years. It has been a wonderful journey, and I'm so thankful for the time we have had together. We celebrated our dating anniversary by taking a trip to Asheville, North Carolina. We headed up on Friday night and came back Sunday morning. While there we toured the Biltmore estate, ate at Biltmore's Stable Cafe and leisurely walked through downtown Asheville. Mochas, chocolates, pizza and ice cream were some of our yummy sustenance during the trip. It was a wonderful time to rest, reconnect, have deep and long conversations, and enjoy each other's company. We truly have grown up together over the past 14 years and are still best friends. It's been a great adventure, and we're thankful that we have been able to share it with each other.

Fun times together!

Elise and Isaac have had some great adventures over the past week! They've played trains together, taken a ride on the Santa Train in Spencer, and played in the fountain at the mall. Here are some pictures I got on my phone of these special times...

Warm December Days...

We have been having unseasonably warm
weather around here for the past few days and the kids and I have really taken advantage of it! We have gone to a local church where the kids can ride their bikes in the parking lot and play on the playground. Here are some pictures from our grand adventures over the past couple of days:
