Sweet Consistency

It's been a crazy fun year, the first year of marriage has been amazing! If that was the hardest year like everyone told us, we are in great shape:) We have done so much, and been so many places. We are excited to spend Christmas number 2 with my family. Jason is still at it with NorthStar and I hope to finish up a Spanish degree in 08. Here are a few champion shots of a few of the year's highlights...

December 9th, 2006... THE HAPPIEST DAY!!

Cave exploring in Havasupai

This was a honeymoon shot in Costa Rica.... we hiked into these natural hot springs... so beautiful. We saw monkeys in the trees above us. In fact, one jumped down and took this picture for us. haha:) But, it smelled so bad like sulfur I was dry heaving... you know the rotten egg smell? put a little damper on the romantic atmosphere.

It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which...you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations--these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit--immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.

-C.S. Lewis

Invictus

"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever Gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of Circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of Chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

-William Ernest Henley
