Weekend Rundown

What a weekend... let me give you the rundown....first I want to say Congrats to Sister on her recent engagement.. we are super excited for her!! Can't wait for the big day!! Friday was fabulous... it was snowing.. this was our house when I pulled in the driveway. How fun!! The best part of the snow was the fact that we got out of school early. Doesn't get much better than that!

Then we headed to the hospital to see our dear friends Eric and Emily and baby Ellie. Ellie arrived on Thursday weighing a whopping 9 lbs.. she was a big girl. What a beautiful baby she is. We are so happy for them and can't wait for her to play with Aunt Kristen and Uncle Matt.


From the hospital we headed to enjoy Matt's Valentine's gift from me...(time to switch from baby mode to concert mode) We went to the Casting Crowns concert. This was an awesome concert. Matt didn't know where we were going...I said "All you need to do is make sure you are wearing sock." Totally threw him off... I know I know... I am good!! Until the whole world hears....



Here is Casting Crowns... we also heard Kutless. It was just a great time of praise and worship to our Lord. It was a long concert and we were up way past my bedtime.





Now, let me explain this. Matt had a surprise overnight get-a-way planned for us... I was hoping he wasn't going to drop me off in the woods somewhere. But anyways, we went to this precious little bed and breakfast called "The Secret." It was fabulous. This is the "kissing tree" and Mrs. Dianne (the owner) said it is a tradition that you get your picture taken in front of it.




And then you have to take your picture in this huge chair. You have to step on a stool to get up there. Mrs. Dianne asked if she could put one of these on her blog.. so check it out "The Secret Bed and Breakfast."








This was the view when you walk out the door. It is situated literally on top of a mountain. It was beautiful!And one more shot. Matt was a trooper for some pictures. This morning Mrs. Dianne and Mr. Carl made this huge breakfast and sent us on our way. We had a great time and a Happy Valentine's Day. Matt completed the weekend with a surprise massage appointment for me this afternoon. What a thoughtful husband! I love this guy more and more every day!

Hey girl! It looks like you already have a blogfrog account. So sign into blogfrog. Then click on the folder at the top that says widgets. From there look to the left and you'll see where is prompts you to set up a recent visitors widget. Then all you have to do is click where it says add to blogger (i think). Then it should add it to your page for you. If it doesn't, let me know. And I'll see if I can guide you from there.

And I agree with the freaky blogger stuff! It's also pretty cool to see who is visiting your page and you can see who they are and check out their blog too. But I think it only shows blogfrog members.
