May... wow. May was crammed with too much busy busy busy. We barely saw each other and our home turned into a bed stop and then off to more work or errands or just busy. It doesn't matter how much the extra pay and benefits are we decided this crazy month of may; too much work drains you, makes your life feel meaningless because your too busy running to the next thing to experience the moment, and makes you not enjoy or really be present for any of it and anyone in it. So the verdict is... never again! Keep things simple- or less is more is our new motto. Cheers to a simplified minimalist summer.
We were able to celebrate Brad's birthday with some friends at The Naked Fish (best sushi bar), and then celebrated our anniversary with getting Backpacking gear and taking it all for a spin in the wild. While doing so we ran into a moose! It was snowing so we just backed of the trail and waited for it to leave. It was pretty exciting. We found "our spot" protected by a huge pine tree and with built in hooks for our backpacks. Nothing beat the vacation view we awoke to in the morning. It was so romantic and a perfect anniversary mini vacation.
