Goodbye Watkins Family Cabin!

Last weekend we said goodbye to the Watkins Family Cabin.  The cabin sold. :(  It's sad because it was the perfect weekend getaway for when you just needed to get away.  I have some really great memories here, and I feel like sharing, although you probably know the stories, I'll put them here for posterity's sake.  

The first time I met Chris, he invited me (and all of the other single ladies in our apartment complex) to a bonfire at his grandparents cabin.  To make a long story short, I went to the bonfire.  And at the end of the night, Chris was giving everyone hugs as they were leaving.  As Chris and I went in for the hug, (mind you, the fire it out, it is DARK) I slipped on some uneven ground and my hand landed on his bum.  Yup, I'd just met him and I grabbed his bum.  And now we are married. :)

Another story-Chris proposed at the cabin at the fireplace.  That story is written in detail in the post from Jan 2010.  What is neat to me, is that I got to take two bricks that they had taken out of the fireplace and keep them.  So, I'll find something great to do with them (bookends, or part of a fireplace of a future home.) so that I can keep that special memory.

Going on a walk down to the Hansen cabin.
