A Mountain Get-A-Way


We took a much needed weekend get-a-way to Helen, GA for Brother-In-Law Blake's Birthday.  After  quite a hunt to find the perfect cabin, and pet friendly too, we decided on "Soaring Eagle".  
The cabin lived up to it's name, it was luxurious and the views were breathtaking. 






We took the a half mile hike to see Anna Ruby Falls, we got rained on but it was worth the hike to see the beautiful twin falls, Dixie even joined us but was shaking because she was so cold.  She ended up in my jacket most of the way, such a spoiled little puppy!
Hubby and Bro-in-law had plans to golf that morning but were rained out, they opted to fish the local lake instead of hike to the waterfall, here's a pic of his catch of the day, a Rainbow Trout.  Unfortunately,  they were stopped by DNR (Department of Natural Resources) and were issued citations for not having their fishing licenses. 
We walked and shopped the town, it's small and quaint but full of interesting things.  I purchased shot glasses for the evening (the one thing the cabin didn't provide!) A Falcons frosty mug and a bear back scratcher.



That night we dined by the river at Troll Tavern, had a few beers and spent some time dancing at Paul's.

I saw you in a dream...

  Madison Sophia Young Born into Heaven Sunday, November 18, 2012 I saw you in a dream Before you were real I can't explain the way I feel Don't ask me to try It makes my heart cry Love created the seed that attached itself to my heart The seed became a life To me became a part The mystery of how it begins we will never know What makes a seed begin to grow What makes a heart begin to beat Growing little hands and little feet What makes it look like you or me Is simply just a mystery The cosmic force that makes me whole Is bound up in your little soul You hold my hand from inside out I feel you turn and dance about I don't know what's in God's plan He took you by your tiny hand Your beautiful little angle face Is now a part of time and space Your purest soul that's ever been Will never ever be touched by sin I cry, I weep, I cannot sleep I think what might have been Thank you for the joy you...

"So, how's the baby?"

It amazes me how different peoples reactions are when I tell them I lost my baby. All in all I've only had to answer this question about six times. I know that it doesn't sound like an awful lot but each one still manages to throw me into a funk. Yesterday, three people, today one. I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...

Due Date

Welcome to 2013.....2013, the year we were so excited to become parents, have a family and welcome our daughter Madison into the world. When you first find out your "due date" the day is forever engraved in your mind, your body, and your soul. You tell everyone the date and circle every calendar that you own. You count down the weeks until your due date and say it countless times as it's usually the first thing someone asks you when they find out that you're pregnant.  For us January 10, 2013 is that date. There is no guarantee that she would have actually been born on this exact date, but as this date gets closer I can't stop wondering when her actual date of arrival would have been.  January 10th, it seemed like a lifetime away when I saw my first positive pregnancy test on May 4th 2012. I have to say that the 32 and 1/2 weeks that I was pregnant flew by very quickly.... and here we are now into January and I feel this empty feeling inside as I...
