11 Years

Do you know what you were doing 11 years ago?  I do.  I was wondering through Cancun, Mexico looking for something to eat.  It was my first visit to the island – the bus drivers, the humidity, the city – all new!  My travel partner and I were out looking for something authentic – and so we ended up at an Italian restaraunt.  This entry is not really about Cancun or Italian food, but more about my travel partner.  It was our first official trip!  You see, 11 years and 1 day ago, Dawn Daniels married me!  And she’s been my travel partner ever since.

As we pulled away from West Edgecomb Baptist Church in my squeky clean Army Green jeep, we began our travels.  And here I sit, 11 years later – not only with wedding day memories, but all that has fallen between then and now!  More importantly, here I sit – still in love and still loved!  For many areas of our lives time is the enemy.  But there are those rare things that are designed to be resillient to the negative impact of time.  Even rarer are those things that get better with time!

How lucky am I to have experienced something so rare!  But on second thought, I shouldn’t give “luck” the credit.  The credit goes to my traveling partner and to the one who gave her to me!  I would love to tell you how much Dawn means to me – but unless your Dawn you probably don’t need or want to hear all that.  So instead, allow me to suggest that you find those rare things in your life and tell them so.  If your still looking for that rare thing, allow me to suggest patience – as finding something rare takes time!

In the meanTIME, I look forward to more travels with my travel partner.

(Poor Dawn – Rockers write ballads, poets write poetry, rich guys buy jewelry – all to say I love you.  All Dawn gets is a GPS and a blog entry!  I love you, babe!)
