This week, Travis and I celebrated our 4th anniversary! People often say that we are still "babies" when it comes to marriage. That may be so, but we feel like the past four years have flown by and that we've been married for quite a while. In December we will have been "together" for 10 years! In honor of our anniversary, I'm adding a few wedding pictures!

Travis and I have always been curious about Hot Springs, North Carolina. When I found a deal to visit there on LivingSocial.com, we decided to give it a go for our anniversary. Hot Springs is located right on the Appalachian Trail and is near natural hot mineral springs. We stayed at the Iron Horse Station Inn. It was quaint and cute! We enjoyed their restaurant and live music. We slept late and relaxed (something we haven't done on a weekend in a long time!).
Hiking is something we LOVE to do and with the Appalachian Trail being so close, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to hike a short ways. We hiked up to Max Patch Bald, which is a summit on the AT. It is around 4600 feet in elevation and has a 360 degree view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Standing there and turning around, I couldn't do anything but praise God for being the master Creator. The view was incredible. I am so thankful that the same God who created the view we saw is the same God who knew Travis and I would be meant for each other. We know that no matter what trials we face, we are united by a God who loves us, created us, and desires our worship!

| A view like this is nothing but empowering.... All for now....... Peace and Love-- Kristen |
