For our anniversary we went to Branson. It was an eventful trip- to say the least. When we left home we were leaving about 20 inches of snow behind. The highway was covered except for a small section where everyone had been driving- about 35 to 40 mph! As we got closer to Branson, the snow really picked up and we were a bit fearful. We made it to our room, and later decided, against our better judgement, to go to dinner. While we ate, it snowed about 3-4 more inches. When we left, we got into quite a traffic jam. The roads are hilly and were slick. We tried to make a go for it to get past a really dangerous section of the road. As we went another car started to slide into us and we had to swerve to avoid them and ended up in the ditch. Within moments someone came and knocked on our window and offered to pull us out with their truck. It was amazing! They pulled us to safety, we paid them and we were off. It wasn't until later that we thought about what could have happened. We trusted that these people were honest and helpful.
Here are some of DH's fun gifts that I gave him over the weekend. He is not a sweets eater like I am so finding little treats that were not sweet was a challenge for me! But, I did it. These first two pictures are of a can of nuts that I decorated. I used the Create a Critter cartridge to make the squirrel and the words!
The next night we watched a movie so I wrapped up some microwave popcorn.
On the last morning of our trip I gave DH a journal. He loves to take notes at church during Sunday School and Worship. The journal is made from a composition notebook that I covered. I didn't have a Cricut cartridge with a cross so I used a lowercase "t." I also decorated a bag to put the journal in. I noticed that he is not near as excited as I am about the packaging of the gifts, but it's fun for me, so I do it!
We had a great time. We got home safely, and the snow was just about all gone! Can't wait 'til we go again!
