13 Lucky Years!



Ok, I can hear Julie saying right now, 'Luck, Schmuck!'. So, the reality is, we've been blessed to have 13 years of marriage behind us now. Hard to believe it's been that long but come to think of it, much has happened during that time span. Lord willing, their will be many more years of marriage and many interesting turns in the road on the way.

So, what did we do for our anniversary? Just the two of us (1st time since 2003) went away to the Poconos, Jim Thorpe to be specific.

Jim Thorpe (named after one of the greatest athletes of the 20th century) is a beautiful little town nestled in the Pocono Mts. of Northeastern Pa. We stayed at the Inn At Jim Thorpe which has been an Inn since the mid 1800's. Some say the place is haunted, more specifically, room 310. We stayed in 312 and as far as I know, nothing paranormal happened while we were there.

During the day, we walked the streets and opened many a creaky door to find quite an eclectic array of shops filled with stuff your just not going to find at your average Wallmart. We also climbed up past some amazing waterfalls and went biking through a gorge on an old railroad bed. Usually the leaves would be peaking out right now with some of the most varied species of trees in North America, but things are a little behind this year so we had to settle for a few very colorful trees instead of what would normally be mountain sides ablaze in jaw dropping color.

Well, to sum it up, we had a great time getting away to celebrate God blessing us with 13 great years.
