Life, Love, and Faith

And adventure it was. It brought me back to being 12, running around behind my friend's house in the ravine, where we'd pretend to be in a war, or chased by monsters, etc. There was a "trail" to follow, made up mostly of leaves and mud (we probably shouldn't have traipsed around right after 4 days of rain) and plenty of trees and sticky branches. The dogs were troopers, Bella actually pulled me up a hill at one point (she's about 50 pounds and a lab/pitt mix so she's strong!) We thought we'd go into the woods at the point by our house and come out over by the Food Lion about a mile away, but sadly, it wasn't the case as we found a barbed wire fence blocking our way. So we went around in a big circle, found a really pretty mini waterfall in a creek, almost fell up some big hills, and made it back home in under a hour, covered in mud and leaves. It was fun, nice to get out of the house for an afternoon!

After that, we decided to try and beat Mario Brothers for the Wii, which is one of the best video games I've ever played. If you haven't made it to the final castle, I won't give away the ending, but it made all of us yell, and we still haven't beaten it! Maybe tonight...

Tomorrow's plans include more cleaning and making a Christmas dinner for Ryan that is a surprise to him, so I can't post it on here! I am going to try and start taking more pictures so that I have something to load on here, as I love blogs with pictures!

Thanks to those who've started following this little blog! You give me a reason to update. :)

Love,

Jesi

PS - I completely forgot one more movie for my worst movies list of the decade - Max Payne. Husband, his best friend, and I went to see it when Husband lived in Charlotte last year. It was laughably horrible. Poor Mark Wahlburg, he went from one of my favorites (The Departed) to that crap.
