10th Anniversary Trip!

I can't believe that it's been 10 years already! I want to spend hours trying to find the right words to describe how much I have grown through my marriage, been blessed by it and have thankful I am that I have the most amazing husband ever...but life is crazy so for now pictures of our trip will have to suffice. We had so much fun in the Dominican! We were in need of some rest from the chaos of life and to prepare us for the next adventure that awaits. We're so thankful for God's perfect timing in all things!

 

 

The first night we went to the hibachi style restaurant! We love food so you will see lots of pics of food! :)

 

 

 

Mike reading his Bible on our balcony

 

 

 

I LOVE the ocean!

 

 

 

 

They had a sushi bar at the hibachi restaurant. We ate lots of sushi! This was Mike's plate, I only eat the rolls not the actual pieces!

 

 

Our own private patio and jacuzzi!

 

 

They had this sign waiting on our door when we arrived at the resort! :)

 

 

We went ziplining, it was SO much fun! You do 12 different lines and land on a platform and then walk to next platform or they just hook you into another line from the same platform. The drive to the zip line was much scarier then ziplining itself! It was really nice to get away from the resort but once we headed onto the dirt roads in the mountains it was a little scary...ok I closed my eyes a few times while our tires were spinning out on a steep narrow road. But we obviously survived and it was totally worth it! :)

 

 

The zip line course

 

 

 

It's hard to see in this pic but one of the ziplines went right over all of this. Some lines went right between trees, one of the longer lines took us over a river and one line you can't even see the platform they just tell you start braking as soon as pass the second tree. It was easier to do then it sounded! :)

 

 

 

Our favorite pool to hang out by and we LOVED the Bali beds! They were so comfortable to read on and lay out on! The vacation was not totally perfect because I did actually get strep throat. :( Thankfully they had a doctor and antibiotics available at the resort so thanks to that I wasn't down long. But it was great to just spend the day I didn't feel good napping and reading on these beds, with the occasional swim.

 

 

For all you health nuts out there...coconut water from the coconut tastes way better then the boxed stuff! The man cut the top off and put the straw in and there was so much liquid in there, it was amazing!

 

 

 

 

We thought it was hilarious to sit on this bench and try to get a good pic of ourselves...there were lots of double chins and cheesy grins before we ever got a good one or just decided to ask someone!

 

 

 

 

 

We had a blast swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, reading, eating and just hanging out! I am so thankful to God for this amazing man that He has given to me! I'm SO excited for the next 10 years and though I know there will be rough moments, as well as great moments, I am confident that God has great things in store for our marriage and family! Thanks to all our amazing family and friends who watched our kids so we could go on this wonderful trip!
