Anniversary Trip :).

364 

Days Seth and I have been married :).  You all already know I'm a silly girl when it comes to countdowns and celebrations.

Tomorrow we are able to scratch one notch into our walls-remembering our first year of sharing the same last name :).  If you have been keeping up with our blog-you are aware of the whirlwind of our life-the adventures we have shared together-and some of the entertaining memories we have made.  

Who would've EVER thought ME:

-A countryfied/redneck (whichever you prefer)

-Joanna blood running through my veins from birth

-Homebody-never even considering moving away from Joanna-esp SC

-Daddy's little girl (even though there were some intense moments!)

-Mommy's favorite child :)-kidding.  Mom's best friend

Would have picked up everything to move across country with this fella:

Who teaches children bad manners at an early age :).


But I did and couldn't be happier!

Seth has already realized how lucky HE is that we are married.  Whew-I'm so thankful that it only took him a year to figure that out!

That sounds bad doesn't it?  Conceited-Arrogant?  But it is the truth :). 

Now don't go getting your britches in a wad-I feel the same way about this man of mine-that I'm lucky and all :).

This past weekend Seth and I took a trip away to celebrate our anniversary.  We searched and searched for someplace fun-beautiful-relaxing (the works).  We finally came upon a bed and breakfast in Twin Falls, Idaho.  We found a looker and booked right away.  When telling others our destination we got a bunch of, "Why there?  What is in Twin Falls?  Haven't heard of it.  Not very big.  What are you going to do?"  


Honestly, Seth and I weren't looking for too many things to do.  We just wanted to be somewhere besides Logan-stay in a comfy bed and breakfast-eat some yummy food-and simply be together.  After arriving at The Fillmore Inn B&B-Seth and I were both pleased.  Seth referred to it as a 'gem'-and we were both happy with our anniversary destination :).

The Fillmore Inn Entrance.

We pulled into an urban area and parked at our destination.  Above was the entrance.  It was designed by a woman in the 20's or 30's who wanted an 'English' like home.  The house was bought in 2002 by a couple who restored the home and remodeled a few things-but kept the English tutor feel of the place.  It was PRETTY.  Awe-Striking.

Picture of the living area-This room had high ceilings with dark wood beams.  Just so nice to look at.

A few pictures of the room we stayed in.  Bathtub/shower that shows an window into bathroom.  

 Another view.


Our host suggested for us to eat at Elevation 486 and we are very thankful they did.  DE-LIC-IOUS.  Scrumptious.  Wonderful.  I could go on and on about this place.  Not only was the food wonderful the view was amazing.

Beautiful.

I ordered a seafood pasta plate and Seth ordered a steak.

We were served Raspberry Butter with our Rolls-and I have requested to learn to churn butter.  My tastebuds have been craving this butter since we left the restaurant.  While eating Seth and I determined what we wanted to do when we grow up :).

Eating with The Cook's :)

We are going to call ABC, NBC, TLC, FOOD NETWORK, etc.. and tell them we have a last name that coincides with cooking/food (what a catch we would be!).  We will do a show where we travel (by car) throughout the United States and taste food-give a rating-and all that jive.  We both don't think we would go into all the flavor stuff-'this spice compliments that spice'  'it needs a touch more of this or that'  (hopefully you get my drift).  Seth and I just simply want to say in layman's terms-that was 'YUMMY' or 'Not so much' or 'Could be improved' or 'I'd eat the whole plate'.  I think we would be a hit don't you?

Well Elevation 486 was YUMMY-didn't leave a thing on my plate good.

FYI Seth was still working on his-and he did eat it all.  As you can see my plate is empty.

Dessert-Creme Brulee.

Another yummy dish that we had to clean the bowl.

Now off of the food kick-we will let you know when we are starting our food show :).

Another view from Dinner.

Dinner view again.

Saturday-Seth and I woke up in that king size bed sideways :).  We weren't use to a bed so big I guess.  We went traveling around Twin Falls and discovered a few fun locations.

Amazing waterfall.  They call this the Niagara of the West .

Had to get a picture-Touristy stuff.  The sun was bright too-but it was chilly.

Now tell me how beautiful that is!

I came to the conclusion that the rainbow represents how Beautiful our marriage is :).  I'm sure the 25 other couples there came up with the same conclusion for their marriage also.

This picture is at Dierkes Lake.  It was a secluded area with many kids swimming around and jumping off rocks.  We climbed up to a rock and sat on it-looking out at the calm-relaxing scenery.  

We heard the water was cold.

The man I'm blessed to spend my days with :).

The backyard of our B&B.  We ate our breakfast out here-stayed up late one night and chatted-and read our books one afternoon.  Luscious green trees-birds-squirrels-flowers-veggie plants-private.  Perfect!

Sooooo---This is why we chose Twin Falls, Idaho :).  Seth and I are your basic people (I am moreso basic now that I'm with this Nature fella of mine!).  We are pleased by the simplest things in life--yummy food, views of God's creation, and being together.  

The Cook's :).

Life Elevated in Utah.  We enjoyed our vacation-wanted to stay another night even-but it is always nice to be back home.  You can tell Seth wanted to do this can't you ? :).
