As You Wish

Marriage, that blessed arrangement... that dream within a dream....

When Justin and I started dating and he offered to go running with me, I was slightly appreciative, mildly irritated, and nervously avoidant. When we got married, I'm certain that he gave up all hopes of every having a wedded running partner. Even a year ago I never would have thought that the two of us would ever, EVER go running on purpose for entertainment.


Today was a new day. The weather was beautiful, and after cleaning house we set out for a lovely, slow-paced, afternoon run. We stopped for just a couple of minutes to say hello to friends along the trail, but otherwise we really enjoyed ourselves. Who would have thought it could be possible? Ten years later, I'm thankful that he hadn't given up on me.

Here's a shot of us when we got home.

Then of course we were starving... and food is necessary....



It was a very good thing that the Farm Boy never gave up on Buttercup.
