Date Night

I had high hopes of getting out the longboards several times this summer, but alas, sometimes leaving the house is a high hope.

BUT we did bust them out for date night last week! 

There is just nothing like the afternoon settling into evening, the air cooling from the hot day, the ground still damp from the summer storm, the leaves rustling, and the trail empty leaving my longboard and I. (And of course, my dashing husband.)

(And look at that Mountain! It was gorgeous!)

Another check on my 28 Things! I'm glad I included this one. It's something I've found lots of joy in over the years.

Goal #71

Goal #71: Say "I love you" everyday for a year

Check... plus some. 

Happy 1st Anniversary 

to my very Hunky Husband!

It has been a wonderful 365 days! 

And with the exception of a few days that we were out of communication we nailed this goal on the head... without even trying. Amazing what happens when you are madly in love with someone. ;)

Last year I posted this online a few days before our wedding....

(I'm posting here for my records sake)

I LOVE this man! I am so excited to marry him in 3 days! He is one of the greatest blessings in my life. He is my better half. His wisdom and quiet confidence is a great strength to me. We talk openly and honestly with each other. We laugh... about everything. I love that he patiently waits for me to figure out I am wrong, especially because I think I'm always right. Just spending time with him somehow lightens my load. He is a good man, one of the best, and I get to marry him.

A year later I feel the same way.

I couldn't be more excited for the next 365+ days!

Goal #29

Goal #29: Snowboard Confidently

This season, I decided "confidently" is a very subjective experience. While riding in the midst of my great snowboarding mentors it was a little more difficult to be confident. However, teaching my sister, husband, and brother-in-law all in the same day, I'll admit, greatly improved my confidence.

That sweet little face on the left was scared stiff. (She'd kill me if she knew I was putting this on here.) Let it be known... she rocked it by the end of the day.

A rekindled love...

The hubby and I just finished reading this last night.

The last time I read this was in elementary school.

I forgot what a fun read it is.

I'm excited to read it again, one day, with my kids.

Until then, I'll settle for being excited for this!

I love...

...Saturdays with this guy.
