Matthew 19:6: "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
Thursday: It's (almost) been one year since we were married. We're starting our celebration a little early with a half priced room at the West Siloam Springs Cherokee Casino. We didn't win big but we came out a little above even so that in itself is awesome! We had dinner there at the buffet and even ran into an old friend (James - sooo good to see you!).
Friday: We come home to feed the fury faced children and decide to camp out in a tent on our back porch - and don't knock it until you try it! No bugs and you don't end up laying down with a rock in your back all night, it's great! It was cold as hell, I will admit. So much so that I got a space heater and plugged it in out on the porch! It was too funny! Damon didn't think it would do any good because it was so windy but it made a huge difference! We cooked hot dogs on a little Coleman propane burner, which was also pretty hilarious to see, but what the hell, we were camping! We talked, listened to the bumps and creaks in the woods (which is our back yard) and when we weren't listening to that, we were listening to bag pipes on CD! We finished off the night with a bottle of champagne and snuggled up nice and warm in the tent. It was a great night!
Saturday: Next up, we grab some lunch and went out to Tontitown and checked out their historical museum. We drive by a lot on our way to and from Tulsa and always want to pop in but they are usually closed or we're in a hurry. So, we made it by there today. Very nice lady that runs the place and a lot of old historical pictures of the people and the town from the 1800's that were pretty cool to see!
We're finally starting to get hungry, so we get around and head out to Rogers and have dinner at Bonefish Grill. I got gift certificates through rewards on our credit card, so dinner was free!! The food was great and we had a great time, though Damon had to cut my steak for me because my wrist was still all swollen and bruised up from falling off the porch on Monday.
Sunday: We catch Insurgent at Malco theater, we didn't think it was as good as the first one but it was an okay flick to watch. Now, we head out of town to where it all happened, a year ago tomorrow, Eureka Springs!!!! We get there, check into our randomly selected hotel via priceline.com and then hit downtown for some window shopping and people watching.
After walking around a bit, we stop off at the Rowdy Beaver for a little hair of the dog. We had a few beers, enjoyed actually being to smoke and drink beer inside a building for a change, and discussed our dinner options. It's Sunday, March 29th and it just so happens to be the season finale of The Walking Dead. If you recall, last year we rushed right back to the hotel to watch the finale on our wedding day, lol! So it's kind of a tradition now! We we're originally planning on eating out somewhere but it started getting late and we can't miss our Walking Dead. So, we asked our bartender where we can get the best pizza in town to take back to the room and he tells us Chelsea's. Chelsea's is a little local dive bar that we actually went to last year on our wedding weekend. We ordered up some dinner and had a few beers on the patio while we waited. We got back to the hotel with just a few minutes to spare. we get the paper plates out, pop open a box of wine, and don't disturb me for an hour... THE WALKING DEAD IS ON!!!
Monday: We took a drive up to the chapel where we were married exactly a year ago and took some pictures. A pic from exactly a year later, minus the tux and wedding dress!
When we got home we broke out the top layer of our wedding cake, after eating home cooked fillet mignon!!!! Surprisingly, the cake was still really moist, the frosting seemed a little grainy but it was still yummy cake a year later!
Happy one year anniversary to us!!!
