The Winey Wife

I wish I could put into words what I am seeing around here, but nothing would work for the beauty that surrounds us.  We are at this place in the hills of the Smoky Mountains and from out deck, all we see is mountains and sky.  On our second deck, upstairs, we can sit in our hot tub, and gaze at the stars... Shooting stars are a reoccurrence.  My friends, Katie, Valerie and I are enjoying some great time with each other, with Jesus and with nature.  I also am enjoying some time with the love of my life. 

Jefferson City, where nathan is working for the sum

mer is about an hour away so I got to spend last night and today with him.  We enjoyed each others company of course and I got to see where he worked and held hands long enough to make up for the 7 weeks he has left until he comes home.  As much as I miss him, I am glad to be back in the mountains looking out over the wonderful mountains, see God's breath-taking creation. 

 As you look in some of these pictures I posted, these are actually from the website but they are not far off at all!  They are BEAUTIFUL cabins!  And those mount

ain views are no joke.  Amazing... im tellin ya.  Valerie has this crazy thing about her, that where ever she goes, wild life tends to follow.  So far, we have seen a DEAD baby scorpion, a mountain lion, a momma duck and her ducklings, a baby rabbit and the turkey... oh and a snake.  Katie the uncanny connection to nature.  She has seen shooting stars, rainbows and random shinny things the earth has created.  It has been a great weekend.  

The girls are staying in the one bedroom of the cabin and I am staying in this awesome loft that's on the second floor.  I am typing in the living room right now.  There is a journal sitting on the coffee table in front of the TV and in it are entries of all the people that came here before us.  It is really sweet how some are honeymooners, some are family reunions, and some are just some marriage renewal stuff.  God's handy work is unmistakably inspiring here.  I hope that everyone feels closer to Him, event if they don't realize it is him.  They feel changed at least.  I need to go to bed now.  It is twelve and we are planning on a morning with Jesus, some horse back riding, and some soaking up the glory time.  And of course... hot tub and suntan. Oh the joys of vacation.  Goodnite all.
