Since Heather and I will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary on the same day as Mackinley's first birthday, while also starting our new apprenticeship role, we decided to party a little early. Though we thought of being more creative, we instead opted for familiarity and headed up to Boone, NC yesterday. Yesterday was definitely weird for both of us, since we don't have the kids. We have completely forgotten what it is like to not have them. We obviously miss them, but it has been a nice change of pace with just the two of us. We feel like we have all this time on our hands. No nap schedules. No set meal times. It's 5:30 right now and we're at a coffee shop, and we don't have to leave at any set time.
We did a great Grandfather Mountain hike this morning. It was a new one for us and it was beautiful. We also had one of the most amazing sunsets last night off the deck. Check them out below. More than anything it is great to spend this time with Heather. We love and miss our kids but we also know this time together has to be part of the rhythm of our life together. It's been so fun just talking and dreaming together as we head into this next chapter of our story together. Pretty cool. Very thankful for Heather. She's amazing.
