The past few weeks have been rough and the next few weeks are going to be just as hectic. It's all a good crazy, but crazy none the less. So when Jordan won a free stay at a lodge in Southern Arkansas at work, we jumped on it and headed straight there the moment our schedules didn't conflict with each other.
We stayed in the super small town of Kirby, Arkansas at a resort called Self Creek. We got a cabin overlooking the lake with our own hot tub plus a day long boat rental. Overall, it was about an $800 value that we got for free. We were ecstatic!
After dropping Josie off with my folks, we hit the road.

After dropping Josie off with my folks, we hit the road.
It was a beautiful (very windy) drive. When we finally arrived, we checked out our two bedroom cabin and back deck. First of all, we had our very own hot tub. Yahoo! Second, the views around our cabin were beautiful and in all honesty, these pictures don't even get close to giving it justice.
After we got settled we decided to find somewhere to eat. However, Kirby, Arkansas only has two restaurants so we decided to drive to the next nearest town and grab some Mexican food, The remainder of the night was spent relaxing in the hot tub and a movie.
The next morning we stopped into one of Kirby's restaurants and have a delicious breakfast, followed by some diamond hunting (where we found nothing!), a boat ride and finishing the day off with steaks on the grill, another relaxing hot tub session and The Addams Family movie. Perfect, perfect, perfect!!!
The picture above was one of my favorite parts of the trip. Jordan decided to turn on some music and anchor the boat in the middle of the lake (the lake was empty that day so a major plus as well). We decided to cuddle up on the back end of the boat and lay there for awhile. It was so calm, we could feel every ounce of stress melt away!
After our mini trip, we drove through Fayetteville to pick up our pup. At first, she wasn't down for leaving my parents house (because they spoil her!). But once we got in the car, we started to feel like we were missed a little bit. ;)
She kept trying to sneak up front with Jordan and when she couldn't, she would just lay her head on his arm. Man, I love that pup!
Now that vacation is over, it's back to reality. Hope you all have a wonderful Monday! More new house stuff to come soon!!!
