We were both greatly fortunate to be able to have this weekend off to spend time with each other. We were debatng what we wanted to do and didnt decided till 5 o'clock friday night that we were going to go up to the cabin. Meaning, after work i had to rush home and pack things and get the car loaded and head over to my parents to get the keys. So with that being said - we didnt leave town till 10pm and it took us 2 hours to get up to Strawberry (15 mi north of Payson). We got up there and it was a bit chilly, not so bad - unloaded the car and snuggled up in bed and got warm. Woke up Saturday morning, ate at the strawberry lodge, we were going to go to Sedona but decided not to - instead we went to Pine/Payson and shopped at some different stores. Then we went and saw Prom, it was cute movie - reminded me of my HS prom. Then went and did some more shopping - most importantly went to the Wal-Mart in there in Payson (you cant go to payson without going to the walmart - its unethical) and we ALMOST came home with a puppy. I was inside doing some shopping and mark calls me and says i have to come outside and meet someone, and first im like what in the world are you talking about - who did you meet up with in Payson, Az at the WALMART?? I ended up going outside and my husband was carrying a PUPPY !! we did the awwing and oooing and got the details (best part he was FREE) but we thought smart and decided not to get him - he was a lab/collie mix and it tore my heart giving him back he cuddled up to me and was soo soft! After Wal-Mart we went to El Rancho for dinner and then headed back up the cabin and watched G-Force before headed to bed (the wind was CRAZY - hearing it through all the trees a lil bit scary). Sunday Morning we had breakfast at the cabin and then started loading the car back up to head home (unfortunately), took a walk around the block - enjoy the scenery and then we stopped in Pine and had some homemade ice cream - it was delicious :) and then before we left town we decide to go have Lunch with Nathan. Ugh - i seriously miss him so much ! i Know he's looking down on us and i felt his spirit the whole time we was there. After that we started heading home. We had a good drive home until we hit just about 20 mi outside of fountain hills - i was sleeping and comfortable and enjoying my time and my HUSBAND decides to yell ..... "QUICK BABE GET UP ITS A DEAR" - firstly im thinking, seriosuly? i was sleeping - look around and realize where were at and unless there is such a thing as a desert dear and then slammed on his break then okay. but - instead he just woke up me (i think he just wanted my company from driving, lol) Over all we enjoyed our time together and to be able to get out of town and enjoy the scenery and how can you not believe this is God's land when you see the all the trees - the smell of Pine, the birds chirping and yet to still be able to have the Freedom we have. It was fun because on friday/saturday we were going over at time line of what we were doing just a year ago and missing it so much ! Can't wait for the eternities ahead and what the Lord has planned for us. We again are so greatly for have you all in our lives and you all make an impact - Thank you for your love and support !!
