words and pictures

Where does the time go?? If January is any indication, this year is going to fly by. I'd better make sure I stop and smell the roses and the coffee and the rain whenever I can. Which I do. It's what comes in between the stopping and smelling that makes my head spin.
We celebrated our 2nd anniversary last week. Two years! You'd think I'd say how time has flown. Two years already? But really, it feels much longer than 2 years. We spent what felt like a very long time doing the distance. Of course, there have been so many events and changes in our lives since we've been sharing our lives here together. The card I gave Don said something about forever not being long enough to spend together. We so enjoy our time together......

Our trip to the wine country was so much fun!! We stayed in Carmel our first night. We drove down the coast a bit to see the awesome beauty of Big Sur. We didn't know we'd have time to fit this in...it was a real bonus. Driving the windy coast, looking out at the view....breathtaking. We made our first stop at the first viewpoint and made our way over toward the edge and looked out at the view. I'm telling you, my breath caught and tears came to my eyes. The photos don't capture what the eye does...but here's a look.








We had WAY too much fun in the Wine Country.



This was our first stay in a Bed & Breakfast and we loved it. The innkeeper was a hoot! Don said she reminded him of Disney character...something out of Mary Poppins! She was all round and cheerful and welcoming. Our room was homey and spacious and charming. It was decorated in rustic French Country sort of thing. (No wallpaper!) They supplied the bear.

(I can't believe I'm posting this picture!)


We visited lots of wineries, drank lovely wine ( and some not as lovely ;-) )and ate delicious food.







We explored and chatted and laughed and laughed...
Here we are, young and in love, at our special anniversary meal. We ate at a romantic spot with a view to die for, melt in your mouth food, where we were waited on hand in foot with no pretension...just wonderful.


We LOVE to travel. Wish we could do more of it. I enjoy every little moment of every getaway. Makes all the rest worthwhile.

You look so happy and in love, what a great feeling, huh? I love your hair too, it's really grown out.

The photos of Big Sur are gorgeous, I absolutely love that place....

Speaking of photos... I know you've told me this before but what kind of camera is it that you have? Finally, I'm getting around to buying M a camera for his birthday... don't tell!

I was going to ask what kind of camera you have too--your pictures are stunning!

I'm so thrilled for you to be celebrating two years together, and no matter whether the time flew by or took every day of those two years, I know you couldn't possibly be happier together :)

This post just made me smile! And really, really want a glass of wine ;)

Wow, it's been two whole years already? That's so amazing, isn't it?

Remember back when? When we all were in LDRs? Wow, things really turned out nicely for all of us (except E... we'll have to do something about that!)

The pictures are just gorgeous and you two look divinely happy!
