We had a great time away to celebrate Greg's 38th birthday. We had sitters for the kids from Thursday morning until Saturday afternoon. It was super wonderful to relax, talk and re-connect.

The time away started with a trail run in Chester Bowl, where 5 years ago, Greg asked me to marry him on HIS birthday. At the top of the hill where we got engaged, we were able to hug and spend a few seconds reflecting on what has been an amazing 5 years. It was pretty cool to feel more in love with each other now then we were before. Ahh...life is so good.

When we arrived at our weekend cottage it was hard not to get excited by these HUGE sunflowers. There was also a pumpkin patch in the front yard with pumpkins as big as my head (actually much bigger than my head and I have a huge head).

The cottage we stayed at was less than 30 minutes from our home, but it felt like we were in another place. Waking up to Lake Superior waves crashing on the shore, mountain biking first thing in the morning at a leisurely pace and trail running together was such a treat. We also got to enjoy a lunch without kids filled with wonderful conversation where we solved many of the world's problems. A nap at Gooseberry Falls ended what seemed to be a perfect day.

I love you Greg Scott. You are the best!
