So as Alex was saying.. We had a fabulous weekend with all of the family here for the three weeks that Bonnie and her family were up.. We had a blast going to Silver Creek Falls with everyone. We were able to ride down with Tom and Jess and Dulany.. We had a blast with them and good laughs and talks along the way. We ate at our favorite Olive Garden it was Alex's first time so it was fun to introduce him to that place.. We shared the chicken parmigiana it was really tasty!! The best part was the company all of my siblings all being together and the kiddos.. so fun! We then hiked around silver falls and had a blast.. The hill was a killer so Alex decided to carry me the rest of the way. He definitely is the best. He (now) knows that I am not really the hiker girl.. Our first date he took me hiking then we have gone hiking a few more times and I finally let him in on that little secret that really I dont love it.. On the way home we saw these incredible flowers and I made Tom stop to let us take pictures my sister in law is amazing at taking them and so she got amazing shots of us which I love. Then it was time for slurpees and the drive home. We went to the McMinnville baseball game that night and then Dinner with Bj and Shawn.. It was a wonderful Saturday. Another page of our beginnings. I love everyday that I get to spend with Alex. He really is amazing to be around and the great conversations that we are able to have. I love the way that he treats me each and every day like there is nothing else that he cares about. Even though he has a lot on his plate at times he makes me feel like no one else matters when he talks to me or when I am with him. I am so thankful for him in my life and the love that  we share.
