Celebrating 10 years!!

I can't believe Luke and I have been married for 10 years! The time has flown by!!! To celebrate our anniversary, Luke and I went to Mountain View for the weekend. We stayed in his grandparents camper- to say it was an adventure- was an understatement! I had forgotten how small a camper bathroom really is!! OMG!!! We ate our breakfast and supper in the camper- and explored around for lunch. We arrived Saturday morning and set up the campsite. Memories of the movie RV kept rolling in my head, things like: "bring me that there hose spreader." " you got any tortilla chips?" "miles and smiles"- too funny. After getting our nest made, we set out to see what all there was to do in Mountain View. We ate lunch on the White River at Jo Jo's. The catfish was really good, and the scenery was beautiful. We then cruised around the square and stopped in all the shops. For dinner, we had spaghetti. For some reason, I could not get the water to boil for the noodles! How can you have spaghetti without any noodles- so I did what anyone would do- I called the local Pizza Inn to see if I could buy un-sauced noodles. Yep, for 4 bucks! We settled in for dinner and a movie. We watched "Here Comes the Boom" what a cute movie!

On Sunday, we had pancakes for breakfast. We decided to check out Blanchard Springs and Caverns. I hadn't been in a cave since I was a little girl. It terrified me at Silver Dollar City- I rode on Dad's shoulders and squeezed his hair. Chris, on the other hand, ran through the whole thing! So, when we arrived at the Caverns in Blanchard Springs- I was a little nervous to say the least. Especially, knowing I couldn't ride on Luke's shoulders- and well, the whole hair thing. So, looking around, I decided all these little kids can do it- so can a 31 year old woman! I will say, waiting to get on the elevator was the hardest part. I'm surprised Luke has any feeling left in his hands. As we rode down- some 245 feet- thanks to the tour guide for filling us in....I was so scared! Once we actually got in the cave, I relaxed and enjoyed the scenery. It was amazing what God made- even underground!

After the cave, we walked the short hike to see the actual Blanchard Spring Waterfall. It was really pretty. That afternoon, Luke and I ate lunch at the burger place in Mt. View. It looked on the outside like a Shorty Smalls- but it was not what we expected on the inside. However, the burger was delicious.

For supper on Sunday, we ate Frito Chili Pies. We ended up watching another movie while eating smores. Well, I had smores, while Luke ate Chocolate and Graham Crackers.

On Monday, we headed home. I started feeling sick- with a sinus infection and ear infection- so we didn't do much on the way home. However, we stopped at the Romance Post Office. I couldn't resist getting a picture of us 10 years later. That was where we mailed our wedding invitations!

It was a fun adventure to celebrate our 10 years. I can't wait to see what the next 10 years hold!
