and found these old pictures of dusty and i.
it’s a few of the first pictures we took together.
and oh the memories these bring back.
here, we were hiking around zions national park,
in southern utah,
and stopped for a water/photo break…
and these are both from one of my first trips {of many later to come}
to the ranch in southern nevada where dusty was raised…
but all three of these were taken before we were husband and wife.
before we were engaged.
before we exchanged “i love you’s”
before i was even calling him my boyfriend,
maybe i was calling him my boyfriend.
so many things were just about to happen…
which is why i love these pictures.
we didn’t know anything about our big future together,
how they would shape us individually and as a couple.
how they would eventually make our love stronger
and bring greater happiness into our lives.
we could only dream of it, and hope for it.
dusty & i don’t have a perfect marriage but i’d have to say
it’s incredibly close to what i imagined it would be.
mostly thanks to the man i married.
he’s taught me a great deal about laughing at myself,
dealing with hardships and being the best i can be.
{but i’m still a monster most of the time.}
anyway…looking at these photos,
i just love that we didn’t know any of this back then
while we hiked around southern utah, rode horses,
and smiled for the camera…
happy 14th anniversary, babe.

I would have to agree with what you wrote! Maybe I could copy and paste it to my anniversary post in 2 days. You always write such beautiful things.
