It was Joseph Barth (whoever that is) that said "Marriage is our last, best chance to grow up." I could not agree more. I am not the same person I was before marriage and I am sure Kelly isn't either. It took me four years to realize that I am a different person married than I was single. Change came whether we were ready or not. Together we grew up and still have much more to go. This past year has not been an easy one. Another example of life not going according to plan. Kelly has been by my side and has supported me in my "I am going to get a job", "No, I am not going to get a job", "What if I just get a part-time job" phase. He taught me that it is not the job that defines me.
Anywho we went camping Thursday night at Mirror Lake in the Unitas. It got pretty cold that night. I know Harley was warm all snuggled down in the blankets. I did get cold however. Friday morning we got up early (well early for us) and looked for a great hike. We decided on Bald Mountain. Two miles, steep and rocky. That's all I have to say. If you want to know how in shape you are go for a hike. I was taking it slow while Harley pulled Kelly up the mountain. She loved it. People were amazed a small dog like her could fair so well up there. But getting to the top was worth it. The view was just breath taking. We were able to see all these lakes in the surrounding area including the gorgeous Mirror Lake. I am always amazed at how awesome the mountains are.
This is the part where I say how grateful I am for Kelly. And I am. He makes the small moments the best ones. Love ya Kel-Kel!!
As always a few pictures.
Starting the hike. Notice we are smiling.
One of the many lakes. View from somewhere in the middle.
Harley the mountain goat.
Made it to the top. Yeah!! Notice not really smiling, much.
I freaked when Kelly took this picture. Now I know now how moms feel when their kids get near the edge of things.
Mirror Lake. Very Pretty. View from the top.

Looks like you had some fun. I can't remember the last time we went camping....Happy ANNI to you! Four years, seems like forever to me! HA HA since we're only a year behind you. It's really true growing up does happen in a marriage. Something about that not being selfish thing; I think?!
Looks like ya had tons of fun. congrats on the marriage anniversary 4 years is a good long chunk. I like the last picture of Harley on the cliff.
