It has been a while again. No excuse this time, we just take a long time in between blogs. I could say we are contemplating what to write if that helps...
A number of updates, the first of importance though is our recent trip to the Red River Gorge.
Em and I have been wanting to camp for so very long. We wanted to experience the great outdoors, get away, live the simple way, have everything with us on our backs and hike into the woods. And we did it!
Here's what we found out
1. Water is heavy and our sleeping bags are large
2. The gorge isn't quite as big as I previously thought and was actually quite easy to navigate
3. Camp sites that look awesome during the day turn creepy at night
- Sounds that startled us (by us I mean Emily): Acorns dropping, leaves rustling, animals nibbling, howling, people talking, and crickets.
4. My new rain fly works really well
Long story short. We got uncomfortable and ended up trekking out of the woods at 1:30 am....
and it was great.
We were both slap happy half way through the 2 hour drive back to Louisville. We stopped for Ale-8-one and tried to make it home before the moon set.
We will try to whole camping thing again. We will persevere.
Other than that things have been pretty normal.
We are waiting to move to St. Louis, working on being faithful with the money, jobs, and time we have been given right now.
No lie, it's tough a lot of the time. But at the same time it is great.
We're happily married.
We are continuing to get more involved at Sojourn community church's east campus.
And we are planning trips, which is awesome.
To Nashville next weekend and Boston next month. Figure this time is as good as any.
Soon to come: a video of our wedding! Stay tuned.
