I haven't written a "blog" in a while, so here goes.

Brian and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary this past weekend. It was awful. We had planned to go up to Mt. Washington Resort for the night. Sounded fun, but wasn't. It was raining all day on Saturday as we drove up. Not good. When we got to the hotel we immediately found out it was not the place to be. It was an old run-down hotel...not a fancy resort like their website claims. There was absolutely nothing to do there. The indoor pool and hot tub were being remodeled, so we were stuck in our crappy room where you could hear the rain falling from the roof into the puddle on the little roof in front of our window. We played cards and watched Star Wars on tv which had these disturbing commericals every 5 minutes. Dinner was good, as I always enjoy Brian's company. We thought about doing a hike on Sunday, but it was so wet and rainy that we skipped it and headed home. After the 2 hour drive back, we got into the house only to discover this really bad smell that we feared was gas. We immediately called the gas company who sent a guy out and determined that there was a crack in our broiler. It either needs to be fixed by a plumber or replaced entirely. Oh great. A nice big expense.

The highlight of the weekend was stopping at a scrapbook store in New Hampshire. There's nothing more motivating than getting new supplies. I have been working on our Grand Canyon pictures as they are in one of those awful magnetic albums. I don't have much documentation about the pictures, so I'm having to keep things simple. I am very fond of that trip across the country that we took, so it has been fun to look back.
