Today Chet and I celebrated 7 years together! I am so thankful for him everyday, I'm such a lucky woman to have him! He is an amazing father to our children and they love him very much!
This year Chet planned our anniversary (we switch every year, I am the even years, he is the odd ones). Anyways, he decided that we could go to The Grand Tetons and hike to Table Rock. Never being there before, I accepted the challenge. Oh boy, what a mistake that was! We hiked for 11 hours that day, I barely survived!!! I seriously cried on the way down, my feet hurt so bad, I lost track of how many times I fell (we went down the face of the mountain), it was grueling!!!
I am not a hiker, I have never really gone on one in my life! I would like to, but I need to work on it. I am so out of shape right now, but my goal is to be in better shape for next year, I would like to go again, but this time with limits. Chet was so excited for me to see Table Rock that he kept pushing, no matter how hard I pulled. We did not make it to Table Rock, but we did get up to the ridge. It nearly KILLED me though!
On the way up I saw all kinds of people pass us going up or down. There was two that stood out to me. One was a pregnant lady coming down the trail, I could not believe it! She was pregnant and enjoying the hike and here I was having a hard time with it. The second one I saw was a great grandma coming down and passing us. She was so cute! She had her hiking boots on and all decked out for the hike. She was hiking with her kids, grand kids and some great grandkids, how cool is that!!! I hope that I can change my lifestyle so that I can be that kind of great grandma, I just loved seeing her there and wished that I could have had a picture.
Oh ya, I forgot to mention the camp out. When we arrived we immediately put our tent up and then it poured on us! We ate our dinner under the huge umbrella we have and then went to bed (we arrived up there around 7/8 that night). We were getting ready to turn the lights out when we noticed that the tent had leaks in it and they were creating some pretty big puddles. Lucky for us that at the last minute I decided to grab an extra large blanket and it was perfect to soak it all up and kept it from getting on us.
Later that night I woke up and it had stopped raining so I woke Chet up to walk with me to the rest rooms and the sky was so clear! It was beautiful, I wish that I had my camera on me to take a picture of it! Chet saw two shooting stars that night, it was just breath taking. I would love to take my kids up there to stay the night, so that I could wake them up and see the stars so bright, they would just love it!
Anyways, this was our adventure this year to celebrate 7 years together. It was probably the least romantic and one I will never let him live down, but it will probably be one of the ones I remember most!
I hope and pray that we have many more years together and that we can watch our children grow. I love Chet with all my heart, even when I am angry with him and cursing him for the awful hike he took us on. :)
*I should probably mention that he did make it up to me by taking me to dinner and then to the movies, so he's not all that bad huh?? ;)
