10th Wedding Anniversary

Now for some happy news! On May 9, Eddie and I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary! I can't believe it.....it's actually been about 13 years since we met in Nutrition class at Oklahoma City Community College and started dating (I spilled my drink on our first "study date" in the library!).

We're trying to decide what we want to do to celebrate! I would like to go away on a romantic weekend....probably somewhere close by since we're saving most of our money for our trip to Vietnam. Here's what I've come up with--

I think I want to visit the Kiamichi mountains (part of the Ouichita Mountains) in Southeastern Oklahoma. Even though I've lived nearby for years, I did not know this beautiful, isolated place existed. These websites give some info and the second one has beautiful pictures:

Here are some of the cabins I'd like to stay in:

Or maybe we could stay at this resort right inside the park! The website is a little strange, but it might be my favorite!
