Anniversary Weekend

Waterfalls
Sunshine
Blue Skies
Lovely hotel
Riverwalk
Tower of the Americas

Perfection!!

Terry and I just returned from a weekend getaway, even though the getaway was only 25 minutes from our house! San Antonio has so much to see and do and we have barely scratched the surface. This weekend we spent time at The Buckhorn Museum and The Tower of the Americas. Terry had a bit of a hard time with the Tower (750 feet off the ground) not because of the height but because the windows are convex and threw his balance off. The Tower also has a 4-d ride called Skies over Texas. The Landry Company (who own the Tower) have taken a page out of Disney's book and themed the ride exceptionally well.

Here are some photos of us at the Tower and of the waterfalls:

13 Years Ago Today...

Terry and I said, "I Do". The day was sunny, but freezing (well in reality it was below freezing being only 26 degrees) but we weren't about to allow a HUGE snowstorm from the day before and the subsequent non-arrival of some guests who were meant to fly in from Chicago spoil our day! I was excited, not nervous, and ready to start my life as Mrs. Terry Smelker. We decided to get married at a church Terry used to attend - Woodlawn Church of God, and I wish I had a better photo of it, this one doesn't do it justice!


After a brief honeymoon we settled into a two-bedroom apartment in Dearborn, one that for the next 18 months we were destined to call home.


We have moved many times since then, but that doesn't matter - where Terry and my kids are is where I belong. I love you honey - may the next 13 years be as exciting and wonderful (although with less births!)
