first few family outings

i'm really intrigued by the idea of "family." i've always been the little kid of the family. and i never payed attention to much. it's really different now that i've grow up and fallen in love with this guy who is very different from me and really attractive and desirable and then we join up (get married) and now we are a family - me and this guy i love and I'm not the little kid anymore - and there are only two of us in our new family - and i have to pay attention a lot to my choices, to my behavior, to my husband. it's the most powerful transition i've ever experienced - it's incredible and i stand in awe.

and here are some photos of me and my family

standing in awe on various excursion:

we thought about going skiing but decided we'd rather explore by foot in a less-populated area - it turned out to be super rewarding!

perfect white. perfect blue. real green.

sweet abandoned cabin.

we often marvel at the "hardcore-ness" of the minors back in the day

and their experience of such remoteness from others

being with the one you love in the wilderness.

nothin better.

camping along the South Platte River

Sunday night - no neighbors

morning bike ride through the valley

and of course - my favorite.
