This, without the that

This is a photo story on how we spent Memorial weekend.

This was where we enjoyed our morning coffee
The amazing porch

This was our view
You can see forever

And this
What I gazed at while enjoying my morning coffee

And this
Another shot of the 360 degree view

This is the new house on the hill that is so amazing, words can not do it justice. Ceiling beams that are 150 years old, stained cement floors, and all of the rock that was used, each and every piece, was hauled from the property by my FIL and MIL. The exterior is covered in this rock, as well as the interior walls and both fireplaces.

This is the guest house
The guest house in the back 50 acres

This was where we swam, in the middle of several thousand acres of undeveloped land
Our pool in the middle of nowhere

Swimming in the boonies

Bill and Quinn

This was what watched us swim
This watched us swim

This is what sets my heart on fire
Bill enjoying the view

And THIS, is why I say that I have 5 kids (and why I can’t get a new, descent pic of the 2 of us together)
Why I say I have 5 kids

It could have been a great picture

A late night, somelots of rum and coke, several Dos Equis, kids snuggled asleep in their beds, and Bill and I with nothing but deer and cows listening to us talk.

And that is that.
