5 Years

Thank you to my sweet husband for his anniversary post! I'll add a bit to it by outlining our wonderful celebration weekend! We drove first to Sault Ste. Marie, Canada to attend Finn Grand Fest with my grandparents! It's a celebration of Finnish heritage that they attend every year. I am interested in learning more about my Finnish heritage, and Aaron was chosen to be St. Urho in March, so we decided to check it out. We had a great time visiting with Grandpa Richie and Grandma Karen, attending seminars and a dance, doing a little shopping in the Tori and just seeing the city.


From Sault Ste. Marie we ventured west to Au Train, MI for a night at a beautiful bed and breakfast on the Lake Superior shore. Pinewood Lodge was the perfect respite for us.


The Lodge is a huge log cabin with six comfy, quiet rooms overlooking the water. The proprietors were very friendly and the grounds were so quiet it felt like we were the only people there for the night!

The view from our room was beautiful!

The beach was deserted at sunset, and we spent our evening wading in the water and walking along the shore.

The weekend was perfect. I sometimes forget how great it is to be with Aaron when it's just the two of us. We have great conversations and Aaron is quite the romantic, although he may not admit that! I'm telling you...if he looked at you the way he looks at me and smiled that smile of his...you'd marry him, too!

But, sorry ladies...he's taken.
