Big Spring

This Sunday Hunter & I had our first full day off together since (this is sad to say) the honeymoon! That was August 9th, people! We've had bits and pieces of days together, but a full day was much needed and appreciated. If you follow me on Snapchat you're probably pretty aware that we were on the verge of having too much fun together.

Since living year round in Northern Michigan again I've really been wanting to explore the Upper Peninsula some more. For being born and raised fifteen miles from the Mackinac Bridge, I haven't traveled up there that many times. So we busted out our adventure hats, made sure we had Bindi's leash, and headed into the U.P. for the day. I was reminded of this neat park I traveled to when I was a kid, so we decided to go there. It's called Kitch-iti-kipi (Big Spring) around the Manistique area. It's such a beautiful area and going across the springs on the the pulley-system raft was really neat. Surprisingly, Bindi did really well and only yipped once (huge accomplishment in our book!). 

Spending a full day with my boy and my puppy was such a refresher for my soul. Hunter and I have been struggling to figure out what this whole "oneness" thing means, and it's especially hard when we have such differing work schedules. Sharing a day with him is a treat. Sharing life with this man is a treat. I am astounded every single time that I think about the privilege of doing this marriage thing with him. I get to do this. I get to be his wife. 

I am abundantly blessed by our Father.
