we had an anniversary shout hooray

well friends, we made it to one year. who woulda thunk? i mean, i am totally a brat and mark has put up with me for a long time! go him. anyhow, since we were a bit poor this year, we stayed local and went to a place in the couer d' alene mountains called silver valley. it is a bunch of mining towns. they are small and quaint and pretty. we wandered around, holding hands and sweating our a**$# off but it was fun to be together.
this is wallace. so pretty. see that green awninged building? that is where we partook of lunch and it was delightful.

apparently, wallace is somehow the center of the universe. anyway, i think mark took this picture because i am the center of his universe (obviously).

here is honey, eating lunch (ps. anyone who hang s out with us knows we have the annoying habit of calling each other "honey" all the time. it started out as me trying to bug mark-who hates pet names and has resulted in the honey talk all the time). he's cute.

wallace, pretty wallace.

we wish. how awesome is it that you can win a gold mine!? for maybe $5!!!!

and yes, there is a bordello museum in wallace so we went in and looked around. and guess what?! it only closed in 1989!!!!! is that crazy to anyone else? a bordello! in my lifetime!

and if some of you are wondering why this town seems so familiar? well, it was in the blockbuster hit starring pierce brosnan and linda hamilton duh. so if you come to spokane and want to go to wallace, let us know. but not on our romantic anniversary trip please.

ps. i love mark lots. he is a good husband and i was lucky to bamboozle him into marrying me!
