Climbing the Mountains

On May 9th we climbed Mt. Bonnell here in Austin. Now when I say mountain that is what it is called but then again we are in Texas so any big hill is a mountain to them. LOL!! We just climbed up the stairs so it wasn't really hard but the view really was VERY pretty.

When we told Andrew to go get his shoes on so we could go climb the mountain this is what he did. What a smart boy putting on his daddy's mountain boots.

These are pictures of the view from the top. It really was pretty.

Then after we got home, Jon & I got ready for our big date to celebrate our 6th Anniversary. The Watsons were very kind and watched Andrew for us. Andrew LOVES them and really doesn't even want to come home when we come back to pick him up.

We went to dinner at Hula Hut and it was just such a neat experience b/c the restraunt is right on the lake. The view was gorgeous and the food was amazing. I really enjoyed my shrimp taco and Jon loved his maimai fish. YUMMY!!! They also had the best fried ice cream. Next, we went to the movies. It has been such a long time since we had gone to a movie so it was just such a fun evening of just being together.

Our marriage hasn't been an easy one, but I wouldn't have wanted to go though the adventure with anyone else. We have had to climb some hard "mountains" during our marriage, but the view that we are seeing now is so worth it.

If you hadn't have climbed the mountain there would be no amazing view. I appreciate my husband for helping me through my struggles as well. It's amazing how much love and patience one person can have. And how hard on ourselves we can be! time to enjoy life a bit i think.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I am so glad y'all came up to visit (and especially that Jon brought that cake). I'm glad to hear you got to go out and enjoy some alone time. LOVE YA!
