Camping season is upon us. Probably my favorite part of summer, after riding the Harley. We don't always go far - we are Blessed to have two GREAT campgrounds within 15 minutes of our home - but it's camping none the less.
I love having nothing more to do than exist. Cook for the troops. Read my book. Sit by the campfire. Go for walks.
There is just nothing better than sitting by the fire after the sun goes down, and the chill hits the air. Moving closer and closer to stay warm, watching the flames, listening to nothing.
But my FAVORITE part of camping is early morning. I'm an early riser. Always the first one up. I get up, dew still on the grass, sun just coming up, and start the fire. It's SO quiet in the mornings. just the lapping of waves, the sounds of the woods. I put the water on the fire for my coffee, and read the book while the sun comes up. I see fish jumping, cranes and ducks flying in. It's one of those God moments, when you realize that God created all of this amazing world we live in.

life partners
This last weekend, our best friends were up for a visit. The guys took the boys out bumming - disc golf, bowling, the Trek movie, while the girls shopped and scrapbooked. I'm in a pickle with scrapbooking - needing to finish up existing albums because of a page resizing. So I decided it was a weekend to do my wedding album, something I've put off for years. I had the album, just needed to dig it out.
I haven't looked at those snapshots in years. What an amazing weekend reliving that wonderful time in my life. Seeing pictures of all the family and friends that came to wish us well, some of whom are no longer with us. Remembering the crazy stories from the four days of excitement, being surrounded by all that love us.
But most of all, it brought to my mind just how amazing my husband is. While he has his quirks, and life is sometimes far from rosy, I really am amazingly Blessed to have him as my life partner. I really feel I love him more every single year we are together. Life is an adventure with him. He's such a GOOD PERSON. A Christian, a great dad, a good son, and most of all, the most amazing life partner anyone could ask for. I so look forward to whatever our future holds, our life adventure that awaits.
