During the dry up on my blog here (I’m sure you noticed the lack of posting, right?), Chris and I had an anniversary. Number seven. I can’t believe how fast it’s went by. To celebrate, we went to a cabin in Pigeon Forge for a couple of days. My mom watched the kids for us. It was the first time since our first anniversary that we did anything more than go to dinner and a movie. We had so much fun.

We went out to eat a couple of times, went to Wonderworks, and to the Dixie Stampede. 

The cabin itself was beautiful.

This was the living room.

If this was Cribs, I would say, “And this is where all the magic happens”.  

The three best things about the cabin were the pool table, the foosball table, and the jacuzzi. While I didn’t think you guys would appreciate pictures of us in the jacuzzi and the action was too fast and furious for photos of us playing foosball, we did take a couple of us playing pool.

Chris won most of the pool we played.

I only won one game of pool, but I won all but one game of foosball. 

The view from the decks of the cabin was spectacular. It really was awesome. I took several pictures, but here are a few of the best ones.

All in all, it was a great trip. It was so nice to have time with just Chris and I. There was a bit of homework done on our trip, but, for the most part, nothing we had to do except enjoy each other. I talked it up so much, that Amy and Joel are there right now…but that’s another post. For now, here’s one last picture of me and my Valentine.

Thanks for seven happy years, Christopher. I love you.

Every now and then, my husband does something that makes me love him a little more than I already did. This morning, I woke up to this post on his blog. I’d love for you guys to go read it. He’s not been blogging long, but I’m enjoying his blog. It’s nice to see his thoughts on different things. So, go ahead. Go give him a little patronage.

I came home and found this. My heart melted.

Here are some photos from my second trip to visit Chris at Fort Jackson, on the fourth of July.

Owen having some watermelon at the Chaplain Picnic.

Elijah enjoyed the watermelon, too.

This is how you wash your hands in the Army!

Fort Jackson has some majorly cool pine cones, too!

Kyra’s a pretty good photographer. I like this picture.

Chris and Owen hanging out by the playground behind his apartment at Fort Jackson.

Kyra was loving all over her Daddy the whole time we were there.

The kids had a lot of fun playing at the playground.

My super-hot husband at Fort Jackson. Gotta love a man in uniform.

Chris is the guy on the right on the top of the middle wall, helping the othersoldier over the wall.
