The Great Adventure
This week AdventureMan and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary. He kids me – when we were married, we had a goal. We wanted to go to Africa, so we saved our money for a whole year. We didn’t eat meat – or not often. We didn’t go to movies; we went to the library. We did buy cameras, and we saved and saved and saved, and when we had been married a year, we went to Kenya for a month – three weeks on safari and then one week on the beach.
Life has been so good to us, has blessed us so richly. Today we give thanks for the good times, and even the bad times – it takes both to glue a marriage together. We thank God for his abundant mercy on our foolishness and our pride, for our mistakes, and for our good intentions gone wrong. We give thanks for all his blessings and we pray for many more years together.
May the great adventure continue!

may life loosen ur heads and hearts, fill ur bellies til your content, and keep nourishing you with the love that holds u together, with travel to quench ur thirst of things unknown, with health so u can continue to write such a kickass blog, and with randomness because really, thats what keeps ppl young. u dont ever want to be predictable.

A friend suggested going to Kenya about 2 months ago. I told him, let me get over my fear of animals first; he’s given me a year š
How was the trip? What’s the first thing you remember about it after all these years?
