celebrating 17 years

While my folks were here, the pastor and I had our 17th wedding anniversary! 

We got to go away for a lovely over-night at Snoqualmie Falls.....

It was our first time visiting these falls (which were HUGE) and they reminded me

of our trip to Hawaii and the ones we saw there! 

We stayed at the very beautiful Salish Lodge which overlooked the falls....

The only bummer was that there was HUGE construction going on, hence

all our pictures looked like this: 

BUT, that didn't hinder us from having a lovely, lovely time. 

We ate dinner at the lodge and had a great view of the falls and watched a beautiful sunset. 

The food (and conversation) was spectacular!! 

I know you're laughing at the pastor's shirt. No, I did not buy it.
He bought it himself and wears it unashamedly.... that's only a teeny,
tiny part of why I love him. He loves me so well, and I am
SO thankful we met that first week of college. We've practically grown up together,
and I've now spent more years with him than without. WOW!
How I am looking forward to growing old with him.
The best is yet to come!!
