Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to us...
Yes we reached the big 10 yrs mark. Going on the lovely time we had together over the last 5 weeks there will be many more! It was great to spend a longer time together (more than my fleeting trips home allow for) confirming that nothing has changed and feelings are still as strong as they ever were, even with such a separation.

We went on so many short trips while G was here. Skiing at Taos in New Mexico, hiking in Zion National Park in Utah, a weekend in San Antonio and Austin, and a daytrip to Brazos Bend State Park south of Houston to see the wild alligators. It went so fast but at the same time things we did in the first week seem so long ago such as the pub/bar crawl through Montrose the day G arrived (he was awake for near 40 hrs straight and drank like a trooper -everyone was impressed, certainly a great way to win people over!!).

Here's a pic of us at the top of Angel's Landing at Zion. While definitely worth the view, it was a risky climb up the narrow knife edge cliff due to wind and scattered slippery ice and snow covering the path. There was a very long drop to the bottom and the only thing securing you is your death grip on the lengths of chain bolted into the rock. FUN! I was very grateful we had our gloves as the wind and temperature froze your fingers making holding on to the chain harder. I felt for the people who were gloveless (and beanieless for that matter!).
