4 year anniversary















On Oct 9 Vincent and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary. Vincent planned an overnight trip (without Wyatt) to Fontana Lake in North Carolina. On the first afternoon we went to the lake. Fontana Lake is absolutely gorgeous. The lake is crystal clear and is surrounded by beautiful mountains. The water was a bit chilly for a swim but we had fun just hanging out on the boat. We stayed at the lodge and had a great dinner and breakfast there. The next day we slept late (until 730) and then went hiking on the forny trail in the smokey mountains. There is a bald, or field of grass, at the top of the forny trail. From there you can see many beautiful mountains. Also while at the top we got to see a rescue. A man had gotten lost on the trail and the search and rescue teams found him. They were carrying him back up to the top of the mountain (where we just happened to be) for a helicopter to take him to the hospital. The grassy top (otherwise known as the bald) is one of the only places for a helicopter to land in those mountains. We also hiked up to clingman's dome to see the beautiful views. On the way back to our car an old lady had fallen down a hill (we think). She was being taken care of by rangers but they did have her in a neck brace waiting for an ambulance. Although there were many casualties of the mountain Vincent and I made it out safe. We had a wonderful relaxed couple of days that we really needed. I love him sooo much. I added in the picture of Wyatt in the backpack with daddy because I think it is so cute. I really needed a small break from Wyatt so Vincent took Thorn and Wyatt on a walk. We are slowly exposing Wyatt to the hiking backpack. He really likes it so far.

I don't know,and it seems a little far-fetched, but Wyatt resembles Vincent in that back pack picture.

Happy Anniversay! I can't believe it's been 4 years. I'm so glad y'all were able to get away "kid" free for a few days. It is so important to be able to do that every once in a while.
Hey are you coming to Dallas anytime soon?
