Big day!
Warning: there may be a few too many exclamation points in the coming paragraphs. Couldn’t be helped.
Today is: Lisa’s birthday! Lisa, it’s your birthday! Happy birthday, Lisa! And it is also Lisa’s due date! Woo! Thinking contracty thoughts for you, Lisa!
And! It is also a special day for M and me — our 5th wedding anniversary! His folks, who are seriously the best possible in-laws a girl could ask for, are arriving for a weekend visit this afternoon. Tonight we’ll all go to dinner at Machiavelli (YUM) and tomorrow evening we’ll head out to the cabin.
Oh! Yes! We finally found our cabin! We first saw it on July 3rd, and took possession on the 15th. That fast! We LOVE it and we have gone out there every chance we get. Here are a few pictures from that first day of cabin ownership.
The river:
The cabin (if you squint you can see my big belly!):
The first pond, built by M & M (I forgot to bring any river shoes that day):
The tiny pool of rocks I gathered while they built the pond:
We can’t wait to go back!
Lisa’s birthday song stuck in your head too? Sorry about that.

Thank you thank you for the birthday wishes! And happy anniversary! I love the 13th – best number! I hope your dinner was fantastic.
Also, how amazing does your cabin look? Beautiful and cool and refreshing river and a charming cabin. Perfect! Have fun!

Ah yes, lucky 13! Our first real anniversary will be next year (first one on a Friday) — we’ll have to think up something special for that. :)
Yes, the river was really nice to be at during our recent heat wave. Now we wish the heat would come back so we could go get in the river again! Maybe we’ll steal some of your east coast heat…
