Twelve Years and Counting...

(This post is from yesterday.)

"I feel the wind in my face...see the blue in the sky...it's days like this I realize...It's good to be alive." Geoff Moore.

We try to get away for at least a night or so every year to celebrate our Anniversary. This year we got adventurous and decided to go 4-wheeling! Drove to Prairie Farm where Wade's folks live, parked our car, borrowed their ATV and leisurely made our way to Turtle Lake & the surrounding area. In total for both days, we covered 100 miles of rolling hills, quiet roads, farmland, wooded trails, and old railroad beds now converted to ATV paths. Saw a family of raccoons, a fox, a turtle, some black ravens, and some chipmunks. Wade saw some wood ticks, too. They seem to like him better than me.

We've got another tradition--Bed & Breakfasts. I think we've stayed in 10 or so total. Wade usually does the choosing and surprises me. This year he picked the Canyon Road Inn, in Turtle Lake, WI. We could 4-wheel right to it. A beautiful B&B on Skinaway Lake. We even had our own balcony with a gorgeous view of it. Kept our patio door open at night and went to sleep to the sound of the loons. Glorious.

Twelve years ago today (23rd) Wade and I were married at Faith Community Church in Hudson, where we've attended church now for the better part of 14 years! On our wedding night, we stayed at the Jefferson Day House--a B&B on 3rd Street right in Hudson. And so began the tradition.


Happy Anniversary Honey! I look forward to many more with you.
