The Great Mountain Marriage Test


Sometimes a mountain getaway is all you need. Jeffrey and I jumped in the car Friday after work and drove 5 hours to the North Georgia mountains.

On the way, we listened to music and sang at the top of our lungs, ate Moe's, and talked about life. All of this occurred in the first hour... then it got real! Our blissful, mountain ready car turned into "are we there yet?", "how much longer?", and "you just said 3 hours, 3 hours ago!".



When we finally reached 4 hours into our adventure, we were at the base of the mountain. Let me tell you, nothing tests a marriage more then going up a mountain at 10:00pm with the foggiest fog surrounding you. There was a lot of "OH my gosh", "Watch out!", "Kelsey, I cant drive!", "AHHHH!", and "I can see the road".



After a great deal of heart dropping turns, panting, and straight up scary roads we made it!!!!! Jeffrey and I cheered and hugged because we were still alive. We felt so gratified. Yeah, we made it up the scary mountain at night together, as a team *high-five*!



After our crazy trip, we had a blast. It was so wonderful to see some of our life-long best friends and spend a weekend away. There should be 30th birthday parties in the mountains every weekend!



Jeffrey and I now know, our marriage can survive a scary trip up a mountain at night in the deep-fog! Now, thats something to be proud of! What has your marriage survived?
