10 Year Anniversary....2 months early

Earlier this year we were trying to decide where to go for our anniversary.  I wanted to do something really big, like go to the Dominican Republic.  Then Jonathan found out he had to prepare curriculum for two new classes over the summer.  We would have to celebrate in Texas and be back home so he could work.  The first week in May was when the stars aligned, Jonathan had a week between semesters, so no students, and the kids were covered by our parents - so thankful for that.

I spent a week researching, thinking maybe Galveston or South Padre, but that would mean most of our trip would be driving.

Jonathan came across this wonderful resort in Wimberley, Texas called Serenity and we could have not been more pleased with our decision.

Serenity was the perfect name for it - the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled.  We were 8 miles from the town of Wimberley.

Our garden "hut" was an old water tower.  We had a full kitchen, huge bathroom and nice, comfy bed.  The resort had a swimming pool and a hot tub.  It was still a little chilly to swim.  We enjoyed walking the grounds and only seeing a few other people out on their porches.  It wasn't crowded or noisy, so peaceful!

We did have a TV in our room so we finally got to watch the show Fixer Upper that is videoed around Waco.  My in-laws former neighbors are on the show.  They go around and fix up a house after a couple purchases it.  I sure wish we had the deposit to even be considered for the show.

We also watched the Indiana Jones marathon, okay, not all of it.  It was nice to relax and talk without interruption.

We developed an addiction for ZIPLINING!!!  That was the only activity we had planned.  It was exhilarating, a little scary but a lot of fun.  I prayed before every line. The view was gorgeous.  We would love to go again!

 

After ziplining we headed to a place that was suggested to us for supper - JoBelle's - and we immediately found out why.  It was excellent, service and food, and one that you go to just once a year because when you get quality food you pay for what you get.  Worth every penny...err dollar!

Sunday we woke up and had an amazing breakfast in bed delivered to us. WOW!  I am a huge breakfast person and I did not want it to end.  We then realized why they didn't serve lunch at the resort, because you don't need it!  The breakfast kept us filled until supper time.

Sunday evening we had a nice dinner at a Mexican restaurant.  We enjoyed another morning of sleeping in, another breakfast in bed, then our first ever couple's massage!

We then headed back home, but were thankful we could take our time.  We enjoyed the rest of the week at home with a stay-cation.  I tried to relax but of course also did some cleaning and Jonathan went to work.

It was a wonderful time celebrating an amazing 10 years with my loving, servant hearted hubby!  We hope to make it back to Wimberley some day (if it isn't damaged too much by flooding) and we look forward to what God has in store the next 10 years!
