The Journey
Posted on | September 7, 2010 | 3 Comments
Five years ago, we embarked on a journey.

I fell in love with a man that year. We camped in a cold, purple tent and ate ramen noodles at Old Faithful.

The sights were extraordinary.

The geyers, unreal.

(even though they tried to frighten us)

Wildlife around every corner, we ooh'd and aah'd while pointing fingers.

I learned to fly fish here, watching & listening to this man with such intent.

We caught some,

And I certainly lost some.

But he still loved me.

And me, him.
In five days we venture back to Yellowstone to celebrate 2 years of wedded bliss.
Happy Anniversary, my love & best friend.

Thanks Emily, that means a lot to me. :)
I had a fun time going through old photos for this post... it was such a cool reminder of my feelings back then, the newness and passion of it all. The beginning of a great story, indeed.
