a sunday hike

i am not an expert in marriage;
(i only have 3.75 years of experience)
but i do know that its important to know when to choose the other and not yourself.
this morning, i had it penciled in my calendar to run another half marathon.
(it'd be my 4th race this month)
a couple times this week, DB had said,
"if you don't run this weekend...would you go on a hike with me?"

i knew...i needed to choose him and to choose us, and not myself.
we slept in, had coffee and breakfast together; made banana bread, ironed his work shirts, cleaned up the apartment....and then we packed up for an epic hike.
the trail was 8.8 miles.  up 1500 feet.
good thing he had a map :)

here we go

the trees

snacks by the creek


DB dared me to kiss the banana slug (but i didn't do it)

very sweaty after 3 hours in the sun

we had a great time together today.
hiking and walking and jumping over muddy sections of the trail coupled with time to talk, aske dquestions and really listen to the other was better than anything else we could have chosen to do with our time today.
