On our last hike during our honey moon we were trying to come back down the mountain right as the sun was setting. The sun moved quicker than we had anticipated so we began to pick up the pace. We were nervously laughing and making jokes about having to sleep in the mountains that night all the while trying to catch our breath because we knew we were in big trouble if we didn’t get back before the sun went down. You were right ahead of me jumping from rock to rock and onto logs as cautiously as you could. I remember attempting to jump on the same rocks and follow your trail so I would step on the rocks that were steady and the trail that would be easiest. I remember as I followed you I asked God to make this a picture of the rest of our life. Adventuring new trails, discovering all the beautiful things God created for us to see, following your lead, nervously trying to navigate the unknown areas, and doing all these things while still feeling so secure and safe because I had you with me.
I don’t know what to say, except I feel so blessed and so loved. Thank you for choosing me. Happy one month of marriage.
