9th anniversary

Scott and I have been married 9 years, and it is so hard to believe for me. I am very thankful for having him in my life and can honestly say that I never thought that my life would be so good. We haven't been anywhere for our anniversary for many years and thought that is was about time, so away we went. We decided to go up north and try again for no rain. It has rained every other time that we have gone up there, but this time the weather was absolutely gorgeous. We were going to go for just one day, because of the $$ factor, but we were offered a free place to stay for as long as we wanted. Cool, a free condo, I guess that we will stay for 2 days, and that is what we decided!! When we got there, we found out that it wasn't a condo at all, but a house, and it was beautiful. Thank you to Don for loaning us his beautiful condo.

This is the house that we stayed in. It is in Crystal mountain.


On Friday, we went gambling, then back to the Crystal Mountain village and had dinner, then we went back to the house and hung out. Saturday, we got up drove around, visited a few small towns, did some shopping, then went back to the house. We watched a movie, and then walked around the village some more. In the village they had the "Crystal Coaster" which took you up the mountain by chairlift, then you road down a track on a cart. It was a blast, and you went really, really fast. We then went gambling again. On Sunday, we got up lazily, packed our stuff, and headed home. What a great, relaxing time, we had.

I have never been in a lighthouse before and it was really neat. Pt Betsie Lighthouse in Benzie County.

When we were walking around the village, it was so pretty to see the leaves changing color. At home all the leaves were still green.

We had a great time!!

When we got back to Fisher's to pick up the kids, they had a suprise for us. It was sundae bar, and pretzels with peanut butter on the end, then dipped into mini m&m's or mini choc chips. They were so proud to have this for us and to help us celebrate. They are such awesome little people!
