Let's getaway!

On Friday afternoon I texted Jon asking if I could sweep him away on a romantic getaway. I know, that's kind of backwards...it's supposed to be the boy sweeping the girl away, but at this point, all I knew is we needed to be swept! So, we swept ourselves off. We enjoyed a luxurious breakfast on Sabbath morning:

Then, we hopped the noon boat to Anacortes. We hit up Gere-A-Deli, our fave sandwich place. Then, we hit the road. Our plan was to head up to Bellingham (where the nearest Trader Joe's is!) via the Chuckanut Highway. It's a picturesque, winding road that goes through farmland, a cute little town, and then along the coast with incredible views!

We took some pictures, went for a short hike, then ended up at a nice pathway where we went for a walk while enjoying the sunset.

It was pretty freezing yesterday! But luckily I had my newly made cowl to keep me warm!

It was a great day...so many amazing memories and things to add to my grateful list.

Aaaand....the results are in, and so far for the year 2012 I have listed 965 gifts! Way closer to 1000 than I thought! I will definitely reach my goal by the end of the year! Hooray! I need to start thinking about what my goal for 2013 will be...any ideas?

Love,
Rachel
