Happy One Year To Us!!

July 30th, 2005 was the "big day" for us. That would make July 30th, 2006 the "big day" plus one year. So, for our first anniversary we decided on a weekend trip down to luxurious Hot Springs, Arkansas which is the background setting for this picture.
We arrived Friday night and thought ice cream would really hit the spot so we strolled down the strip in search of some ice cream. The man that sold us the ice cream managed to tell me about how busy the store gets around 9:30, his neighbors, dogs, and his accuracy with a gun within the time it takes it make a milkshake and scoop ice cream into a cup.
Another encounter that left us saying "well, this is Arkansas" (no offense Arkansas natives) was a woman in a night gown (Erin says it was a Mumu or something, I think it was a night gown) walking her dog. The poor woman ended up accidently letting go of the leash and screaming out as the dog ran away through traffic and out of sight.
Saturday was a fun-filled adventure that included shopping, sweaty putt-putt, and the weekend was finished with some relaxing massages.

-For what it's worth: The Cubs have won 6 of their last 7 games against the two best teams in the NL including a four game sweep of the Cardinals. Maybe I should lament more often.
