Our 6th Anniversary

On August 10th we celebrated our 6th anniversary. I can't believe we've been married for 6 years already! Of course I say that and on the other hand, I can't remember my life before David was in it. Here's a few images from our wedding and our first 5 years together...

To celebrate our 6th, we headed up to North Georgia to Tallulah Falls on August 9th. We hiked to the bottom of the falls (and back up of course) for a total of 1062 steps! It was a beautiful day and unseasonably cool, which we were grateful for. The fall at the bottom of the gorge was beautiful, but we were disappointed to find out we had to have a permit to get down into the water. Thank goodness we had our camel backs!

The sign at the first overlook before you get to the stairs.

Believe it or not, this was the sign that made me WANT to do this hike - what was I thinking?!?

At the top of the steps...it's gonna be a long way down!

We made it to the bottom, the view was gorgeous.

What goes down must come up...man that's alot of stairs!

That night we stayed in the Sugar Shack at the Happy Valley Cabins in Clarkesville. It was really quaint and cute and comfy enough for us to enjoy a quiet evening with our books and a hot tub. Sunday we took off to Helen and tubed the Chattahoochee. It should have been restful and enjoyable, but note to self for future reference...don't tube a river when the state is in a drought! The water couldn't have been more than a few inches in most places. We got pictures, but they are on a waterproof film camera which of course hasn't been developed yet. Here we are at the Sugar Shack on our actual anniversary.

On the way home we stopped at the farmers market and loaded up on Georgia Peaches - yum and then shopped the outlets in Dawsonville. It was a great little getaway and we had a very enjoyable time together. It's been wonderful to be married to your best friend, we are very blessed. Praise God for bringing us together and allowing us to go through this life together.
