The game room

Tom and I spent 5 days in Ellijay, GA with our dogs for spring break. We had a private cabin in the mountains and enjoyed peace and quiet. We spent time playing cards, hiking, cooking, building fires, and watching movies. The dogs had quite a time....they have pretty much slept since we got home. They were DOG TIRED!

FYI....Zos is not trying to kill Daisy Mae when he catches her....it is all the game they play everyday!

What a good looking man...both of them!

My favorite part of the day...I loved building our snowman...even in church clothes.

trying to get the head to balance...our snowman loves Jesus!

Tom's favorite picture of the day....this is looking down the neighborhood back towards our house.

Dogs love the snow

There is nothing like a beautiful snow at church!

Daisy Mae loving watching the snow from the front door.

I do love him!

Tom and Zos....check out the blizzard!

We look good...at least we had fun though!

I thought that I would be posting only about our marriage retreat from the weekend, but the weather seems to be very important too. 

The marriage retreat was awesome, Tom and I learned a great deal and have already started using some of the thing we learned. I am thankful that we are both so excited about having a great marriage. 

As far as the weather goes....it snowed here in Birmingham more than it has in a few years. I woke up at 6:30 to Daisy Mae's paws in the face...which she never does and is not allowed to do. I assumed she must have really had to go to the bathroom but I think she just knew there was snow on the ground. I made Tom wake up and have breakfast, coffee, and go play! We took the dogs up the street to the field to run and play as the snow was pouring down. They had a great time. Check out the video!  Tom and I had to keep the 3 year olds at church at 9:30 so we had to get ready and head out. We came home from church around 1:00 and made a fabulous snowman....enjoy the pictures!
