l.a.v.a.

last weekend was a lovely one. it was a weekend spent celebrating our three years of marriage.

what a wonderful accomplishment. marriage itself is something to celebrate. but three years? even better. im sure the longer it goes (eternity... it better be!) the more i will think that.

before we enjoyed a nice weekend away, i took sam up the mountains to celebrate on our actual anniversary.

sam LOVES camping and the outdoors. so do i. so we spent the evening around a fire roasting hot dogs and eating our favorite candy bars.

we love to sleep in our car... REMEMBER?

so we made a night of it and enjoyed a nice movie in the back of the car and a good nights sleep.

it was a really simple night. but i think those are the best.

the weekend was a surprise... except the surprise didnt quite make it to the weekend. my family is bad with needles and blood, but they are worse at keeping secrets! :)

the shag gave it away. but i cant blame her. she really didnt know it was a surprise!

ive done it to my sister taryn too when she was going on a surprise get-a-way for her anniversary one year! oops.

sam took me to lava. oh i love lava. even the little town is so fun to me.

i loved all of the colors everywhere. oh i love fall. i could live in fall forever.

we enjoyed the great thai food of course, lots of movies, ice cream everyday, the hot pools, some frisbee golf, some beautiful drives (we love taking drives...)walking around town, and all that jazz.

it was so nice. and so relaxing. i think couples should get a weekend a month to just go somewhere and do nothing. it makes you so much more patient with each other!

i love you sam. thanks for celebrating a great life together!
