two

Monday was our second anniversary!  It seems hard to believe that it has already been two years since:

(just a few of my faves from the day)

Also this weekend we reached 32 weeks in the pregnancy, and Sunday was Dexter's 32nd birthday, so it was a big weekend for us!  To celebrate all these momentous occasions - and to get away for what might be the last time before baby comes - we went to Malu Lodge which is just a little ways away from here.  Even though we weren't so far away it felt like another world.  

The change of pace was exactly what we needed for the weekend, giving us time to reflect on two years, the upcoming baby and changes that will bring, as well as to look into the future years together.  As I said - 2 years down 70 to go!  

Malu has 1800 acres to explore, so we set off to the "plunge pool" walking over the river and through the woods. It was beautiful!

 probably not the brightest idea of all time

I relaxed by the river while Dexter was taking artsy photos and exploring the plunge pool

When we arrived back to our room, we saw this spectacular sunset.  Forgive the excess photos.

Being away from the city (or security) lights meant that the night sky was spectacular, too! No photos of that, but we stood outside and enjoyed the stars, and even got see a shooting star!  It was a good night.

Just in case you think I went alone, here's proof that Dexter came, too. Here he is reading some dental journal in the sun and enjoying the slower pace of life.

We anticipate good things for this new year of our marriage.  A new baby! New responsibilities for Dexter at the Dental Clinic, changes big and small lie ahead of us and we look forward to them all.
