Happy 1 Year Anniversary, to Us!

On May 27, Matt and I had been married for one year. In many ways, it feels like it was just last week, and in others, like it has been years since we said "I do". This past year, the first of our married life together, has been full of many "firsts", many happy memories, and some not so happy. But I know that no matter what, we'll get through without killing each other!!... maybe.... :) No but seriously... we decided to celebrate our first anniversary together in a more relaxing atmosphere than our honeymoon - sure Disney World is fun, even thrilling, but also CRAZY! So we headed up to the Western North Carolina Mountains to a very small town- Cashiers, right in between Highlands and Brevard NC, but only miles from South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee- also known as Waterfall Country.



The water was REALLY cold!


Like I said, lots of waterfalls!




This trail was a 2.5 loop on Whiteside Mountain. Matt is standing on rock known as "Fools Lookout". You can't really tell from the picture, but he the rock he is on is only about two to three feet in width with a straight drop-off of about 2,000 feet. Terrifying!


This is just another of the many views on Whiteside Mountain.




We road the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad from Bryson City, NC through the Nantahala Gorge and ate lunch at the Nantahala Outdoor Center. We were going to go rafting but ran out of time!

We celebrated our anniversary at a fantastic restaurant in Cashiers called The Orchard. The town is a dry town (but the county isn't, go figure) so we had to "brown bag" our wine after buying it from another local restaurant! But if you are ever in the area, The Orchard is a wonderful place!

I'm Back!

After MONTHS of trying to figure out why i haven't been able to log into my Blogger account, I have finally got it working! There are tons of stuff I need to add but I have a feeling that would take forever...
