A return to the land of plenty

So Bree and I left for the weekend - for a little break and also for another wedding (yes that is 2 of 3 for the summer) We headed up to Lake Tahoe for the weekend and let me tell you - if God touched some part of this great land of ours - Tahoe was it! This was the most beautiful place that I have ever seen in my life.

We went for Bree's best buddy from college's wedding - Amy. She is super cool and her new husband is the MOST laidback guy I have ever met in my whole life - and I thought I was laided back - Phil is almost too much, but he is a blast! We drove all night to get there, came in around 7:30 am on Friday. Hit the breakfast and I thought we were going to be hitting the bed and take a nap - that was until I ran into Phil in lobby of the hotel. "Hey man, we are goin Quad'n - wanna come?" After me saying no a dozen times, and Bree giving me the "but you will have fun - go..." I broke down and went - and let me tell you that it was the most fun that I have had in my whole life! We were out rip'n it up in the desert on ATV's for 3 hours or more - kick'n up dirt and burn' up under the sun!

That night was the rehearsal and the wedding was the next day - dancing, drinking, more eating and overall some of the most fun that I have ever had - I dare say ever. I told Bree that the ATV experience started a chain-reaction within myself, and it kept going the whole weekend long. I realized that I have been living my life with a lot of talking lately and not a lot of action. I have come to realize that I have been missing out on my life, now I don't have one or two things, but I have a feeling like there are things that I am missing and I am going to bring them back into the fold of my life... the outdoors, adventure, and living to the 100 percent mark every day! It was a great trip, and while Bree just hoped that I would have fun, I feel like I am changed for the better - from the inside out.

And I realized in a fuller way, just how much Bree brings the best in me out. Since we have been together I have gotten to do some of the greatest things of my life - we have had more fun, more adventures than anyone I know and they just keep on coming! I love it and every moment of my life with her - she just makes being so much more fun than it would ever be on its own!
