Aspen Grove - Our Marriage Getaway!



Cheryl & Jon enjoyed an overnight, relaxing, much needed getaway up into the Wasatch Mountains at the Aspen Grove lodge. Cheryl signed us up for it in April and surprised Jon with it for his birthday in September. We got to stay in our own private little cabin (where we were able to capture a couple interesting bugs for J'Nell's collection) and enjoy the beautiful fall foliage.

We spent Saturday afternoon hiking up to First Falls, a challenging jaunt for one of my stature, but easily accomplished by my svelte companion. During our getaway we had the opportunity to listen to Brad & Debbie Wilcox as they spoke to us about marriage, humor, church leaders and the eternities. The workshops were very inspirational and are actually part of the reason that Jon is currently entering this blog. We met a lot of neat couples, we played many fun games, we had many moments alone where we could talk (and we actually did talk!) and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I think we are both looking forward to repeating this wonderful getaway.
