My wife Missy is pretty great. Among the many things she is to me, one of my favorite is that she’s my adventure buddy.
We go do and try new things all the time. For example, a few months ago we decided we wanted to get into hiking. So, we started to try.
First we went to parks near our house and went on some walks. Then we got a park membership to a nearby wilderness park. We got walking sticks.
After that things started to pick up speed. My girlfriend, MJ who is also a hiker, got us to get decent hiking boots, good socks, and more gear, including trek poles.
This has turned into a big thing for us.
After taking a break from it for a few weeks because of travel and general busy-ness, we got back to it. I really wanted us to go, and while at first she didn’t, we decided to do it. We went on this 2.5 mile hike, in the middle of which Missy took this picture.

Besides how pretty a pic this is, what really blows me away is how Missy takes this great thing we do and makes it even more great by adding her own special touch to it.
She really makes every part of my life even better.
