Tomorrow is the big day. Cole takes the second step of his medical boards. We are anxiously awaiting its arrival because after 9 grueling hours of test taking, they are over! I am proud of all his hard work, and I am honestly baffled how everything he knows fits into his brain.. If you happen to read this tomorrow, please say a prayer for him!
On a much happier note, Cole and I embark on an unusual anniversary trip at the end of this week...camping! The cool mountain air of Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi, is calling our name. We plan to do a ton of hiking, including the Mount Mitchell summit, relaxing around the fire, and hopefully cooking on the fire.
For breakfast I am eyeing these Orange Muffins (made over the fire the night before) and oatmeal. Lunch will be on the trail, probably a standard PB&J, trail mix, and fruit. For dinner we are throwing Hobo packs (tin foil packets, not purses ladies) into the fire- the first night with ground turkey, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions, beef broth, and spices; the second night with a boneless pork chop, apricot preserves, and soy sauce. S'mores and these Banana Boats for dessert. Let's pray we can get a fire started...if not we may be eating raw veggies or going hungry...
