A last winter get away - for the soul.

Tahoe has seen us, and watched us leaved all in four days. And what gets me the most is that we are still in love, if not more than we were when we first came in 2008 together. Oh how we have changed, yet how our love has changed the same yet grown into something so beautiful and meaningful.

(2011)
Our view from our suit
Of course all vacations call for Mimosas in the AM.
 & walks to the lake in boots that your man bought you for Christmas,
We visited the fire pit........

and then walked to the lake during the day......
We snow-mobiled., sharing the same mobile
.....I screamed the entire time it was my turn to driving, and the entire time Kris was....
We took the Gondola to Heavenly Village, it was really high and at times scary and steep , but the top brought many benefits...........
Watching people chill out from skiing and snow boarding, as well as enjoying a very lovely beer.




You know, there is nothing more of a true feeling than being in love with a man that is willing to bend-over-backwards for you.  This man that I love so much, he is a very rare type for sure.  He loves the women in his life.  He loves his mother dearly, he loves his grandmother sincerely.  He is always thinking of their good will weather he is with them or hundreds of miles away from them. Shopping, he always keeps an eye out for what they might need other then himself.  I admire this about him, in the moment this seems like a normal gesture, yet after, in the silence of watching him put the bags into the truck I see this as such a unique gesture one that I know is a not typical  in most men these days. One that makes me know that he is the man that I want to spend the rest of my life with for sure.

So many of the people that I love the most in my life are moving blocks ahead of me.  Moving in with their better half's, buying houses and starting families.  I am at a point in my life where I am not exactly sure where I am supposed to be. I am in the profession that soothes my twenty- something-soul, brings me gratitude and and fills my being with what can't fill my bank account.  Yet I know one day will lead me somewhere different. 

All I know is that right now, this very second, as I write this post... I am so very content with my life and where I am.  Isn't that what we all want?  To be happy and full filled with everything, yet still having the pleasure of looking forward to what else is to come?
