| [The 'L' is for Livermore] |
Byron and I had an adventurous weekend together as [the official] Mr. & Mrs. Livermore. We decided to head up to North Georgia for some hiking and camping at Mount Yonah. The weather was incredible on Saturday -- it could not have been more perfect.

| Gorgeous Trails. |
 |
| The biggest snail shell I've ever seen. |
 |
| About halfway to the top. |
The second half of the hike was much steeper and strenuous. [It didn't help that we decided to blaze our own trails by climbing the rock faces on the side of the mountain!] Breathtaking views made it all worthwhile though.
I mean, how can anyone deny God's existence when they see sights like this?

| Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. Psalm 90:2 |
Right before sunset we made it the the top of the mountain and set up camp: stacking stones for the fire pit, collecting kindling and dry firewood, and hanging our hammock. Soon our fire was blazing and we were enjoying hotdogs and roasted marshmallows.

| Spiral hotdogs cooked over a campfire, roasted marshmallows, and the view from the top of a mountain: there are few things better in this world. |
We decided to drive into Helen for Ocktoberfest this morning. Neither of us had been to Helen in years, so we spent the afternoon eating Brats by the river, meandering through shops, and people watching in the biergarten.

More than the adventures of the weekend, I absolutely loved spending uninterrupted time with Byron. Without our cell phones, our [still] unorganized apartment, and my countless 'To Do' lists, we were able to really focus on each other and enjoy the blessing that marriage is. What a weekend!
lets do this again this year, one of the best trips ever and i even promise not to pistol whip you this time! :)
