23 hour anniversary no. 17

if someone would have asked me what i imagined 17 years of marriage would look like i know one thing for certain, and exactly one thing only. I would have never said this. 

we had 23 hours to "get away" so...we did. 

i asked corey to find the place and take care of it all. i grabbed a card last week. i arranged schedules and places for all three kiddos. we saw the little play soccer in lebanon at noon on saturday and we were off. headed to west union, oh exactly one hour and thirty five minutes from where we were. it was a beautiful drive through amish country. i flipped through some magazines and took a nap. we finally arrive to murphin ridge inn, west union, oh. below you will find a small glimpse of what we encountered while there. needless to say we've already made our reservation for next year. who knew 17 years and 23 hours could be so beautiful.  

the leaves, they just fell like blessings in our life, the people we love and who choose to love us and the little family we've created. the leaves fell and fell and fell. it was quite a site to see.
