Catching up

Above is our neighbor's son, Brayden, with Rex. He asked me how much I would take for Rex last night and offered up $1000. I told him there was no money in this world that could buy Rex from me. He is my baby boy!
Me and Libby in the chair. She found her spot on the couch real quick. If she's not in our lap that is where she is laying.



Dan had out the cheese. They were being good!
This is the cabin we stayed at in Jasper. So cute!

Resting after having gone through the cave.

Dan loves when I take photos of him :)
Waterfall we climbed up.
Well, I have gotten a little behind. Where did I leave off...

That's right, Daniel and I were headed to Altus to hang out with Lauren and Justin and the McCains. We had a blast. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures, but we had fun. We wine tasted at all 4 wineries and had dinner at Wiedekher's, which was delicious. It snowed on us the whole time, which was not fun to me. After all the wine-tasting and dinner we headed back to the McCain's to play a little Sing Star. If you haven't played it, you need to. It was so much fun. And for those of you who know me, know that I am a HORRIBLE singer---but nonetheless, I still enjoyed.

The next weekend, Dan and I went to Jasper, AR for his birthday. Back up a couple of days and his birthday celebration was Wednesday (even though his bday wasn't until Thursday). I sent him on a scavenger hunt on his way home from work and then he ended up at the house where I was cooking a candlelight dinner. I think he enjoyed it. My goal was to make him feel special, I think it worked. On his actual bday, I went to work with him and then we celebrated that night with dinner at Kanpai's with his family. It was so yummy sushi! Finally, Friday we left for Jasper. We stayed in a log cabin that was awesome! On Saturday we slept in, got up, made breakfast, laid around then went hiking for the afternoon. We went into a cave that had a cool waterfall. It was just beautiful. Dan goes all the time so I was excited to finally see what he loves so much. I was not disappointed at all. After hiking we had dinner at the infamous Ozark Cafe. It was good except for the raw fish they served me. No worries...we got our dinner free. After dinner we went back to the cabin and played dominoes until 2 AM. And for those of you who know Dan and I...we don't stay up that late, EVER! So it was lots and lots of fun...we laughed a ton and just enjoyed the beautiful weekend in the mountains. We came home Sunday and went to LR for Dan's final bday celebration at my parents. Dad cooked steak and sweet potato fries. It was delicious. Then started another busy week.

I had my final Saturday class this weekend and had to give an oral report. All went well there. Glad that is over with. We played the Wii with our neighbor and his son last night. We are also keeping Libby...Dan's parent's toy poodle. His grandpa is in the hospital and not doing very well so they have been staying with him for the last few days. We are dog sitting until further notice. Rex and Libby love each other. THey do get very jealous of each other though. Today has been productive. Dan put some weed-killer in the yard, I cleaned house, we got groceries and worked out, now we are about to get showered and do some grilling. I love days like this!

Anyways, enough for now. I will get back to you sooner than later.
God Bless!
