Thanks to the elders from our church who got us this little cottage getaway in the Blue Ridge Mountains! It's been four years since Shaun and I have been overnight without ANY of our children. We had a great time of rest, relaxation and yes lots of exercise!! We hiked up Crabtree falls which we thought would take 2 hours and ended up taking over 3! There was a sign in the beginning of the hike which stated how many people have died while hiking. We couldn't believe how steep it was and extremely narrow at parts. I was very nervous to say the least but we did it!! It was so worth it because the views were amazing!! The mountains are such an amazing part of God's beautiful creation, it makes you wonder how in the world can people still not believe in God?! At night we would soak in the hot tub and be awed by the billions of stars (God's Majesty), it was just breathtaking!! It was truly a blessing and much needed time alone with my man!! Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the kids and blessing us with such a great gift!!
