We stayed in a nice hotel in town and had a "Shopping Spree" during the day. Fun times and it was amazing to see how quickly you could spend a few hundred bucks if you wanted to...
Laura's turn... She surprised me and on Sunday told me we were going to Sedona the next day for a few days. We had always really liked Sedona and haven't been since we got married. We left Monday mid day and got to the hotel around 2p. We stopped on our way up at this chapel in the Rocks - it was really pretty and had a cool story of dedication, perseverance and vision behind it.
Tuesday, we got up and hiked a small trail called Marg's Draw. Ehhhh... I've seen better. Then we had some lunch and climbed Cathedral Rock. I have to admit, I was not very excited at first.
I saw the trail and thought "Wow, walk for an hour and look at rocks! Yippee!" But then Laura started to struggle on some parts, and I chuckled, like any good husband should and I began to think "this could be fun to watch for a little longer"... So we continued. I am so thankful we did because it was one of the coolest hikes I have ever done in my life. Easily.
The views were amazing. The color was awesome. The feeling when we got to the summit was great. And best of all I got to be with my amazing, thoughtful, caring best friend the whole way. (I know, I know... Awww!) But seriously, check out these pictures!
This one (up) is my favorite. Reminds me of "The Land Before Time" which is a childhood fav
As you look, thank God with us for the beauty of the places we were as well as our time together. I think in the season we are in right now, these precious 60 hours or so were absolutely the most amazing gift we could have been given for our anniversary.
Thank you God that you know what we need before we do, what we desire more than we do and that you give to us what the heart truly needs and desires. I love you and I thank you.
