And you are the best thing that have happened to me. Oh you and me both. But thanks to you I have for the first time in my life finally started to settle down. True love when you least expect it, I quite like the sound of that. Oh stop it you! You will make me emotional. 

Exactly, and the last thing that either of us needs to do is add more stress to our lives, right? What good does that do? True! Do you have anything fun planned for tomorrow, or just going to take it easy before we head back home on Wednesday? And how did you enjoy the river today, did you feel like you were on a grand adventure?

I think that I’d never want to give her to anyone else. I love her too much for that but there is a bit of fussiness about things. We’re certainly getting out there and doing as much as we can and that includes all the big things. Luckily, Dyl can sit those kinds of things out.

The bottom line is that it feels good to be angry, even when we know that it’s not going to help us out in the long run, right? Don’t worry, I think as long as we can come up with some kind of peace between us and you and your loud ATV, we won’t have to ban you. Or, like you said, you can just keep tooling around in your regular car.

We can’t change their mind, whether we want to or not, so we might as well just let them feel and think what they want to feel and think! As long as they don’t try to change how we feel, too. You never know! Do you think so? I’m not too worried about it, but I love the water! Still, we’ll see how it ends up going and what the options are for everything, too!

That’s true, but I guess that’s why we can’t control what anyone else thinks, sometimes we have to have someone there to gently point out that it’s not so bad, or where the bright side is in a bad situation, right? Although I think we all get into moods where we hate everything and everyone, too. It’s true, we would start banning you from driving around town, just so we could get some peace.

That’s alright, those people don’t know what they’re talking about if they can’t see why we’re never wrong, that’s not really our fault, right? That does sound like a good idea! And something I can work on continually so it’s not too much work, right? Because I don’t want to do too much work! I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people had that knee-jerk reaction of wanting to step down, truthfully, but it was totally worth it.

Kids have to feel how they feel. We’re approaching the terrible twos so we’re just going to have to embrace her dark side from time to time. It’s a lot for anyone though and she’s fortunately not that bad even on a bad day.  I think she’ll be fine until she’s reunited. There are plenty of cute animals here for her to enjoy all the same.   I’m glad to hear you guys are having a great time.

I’m pretty sure that she would approve! After all, who could be upset with a little bit of positivity in their life…? Or a lot, in this case, but still. I know what you mean, you do worry that they’re going to end up in trouble or hurt or worse, and that’s not a good feeling. We would just sigh, shake our heads and say, “there goes Matthew again…” since we’d get used to it.

If anyone can find the balance between pride and ego, it’s us, right? Or else we will just suck it up and admit that we’re setting too much for us to live up to. That’s true, I should start writing out pearls of wisdom to pass down to all of my kids. Aww, thank you! It feels pretty good to go through with something like that and realize you did and came out alright! God, no. Just Jason and I, no kiddos for that!

I am quite stubborn when I have to be. My heart wanted to be in your hands. Not someone else’s. It just felt right, being with you feels right. These past couple of months of knowing you have quickly proven to be some of the best months of my life thus far. I love you, Matt. And I never get tired of saying that. 

Someone has to be a little bit upbeat if we’re going to get through the entire camping experience in one piece, after all! Might as well be me. But you know, that could be true, too. They don’t want to admit defeat, so they keep doing things as long as they can. I’m sure that you could, or even buy one for yourself, too. Suddenly you have no more need for a car, you’re just getting around town in an ATV.

I don’t want to give myself too much credit – then I’ll start putting pressure on myself to be smart and say wise things more often! No one wants that. I would have given it the old college try! But you just can’t be mad if I would have dropped you. It really was, and they got to see lots of nature and I think they love that. Did you do the aerial course today?

It’s smart to have a backup plan just in case our careers don’t take us anywhere, Matt! And something tells me that we would be great athletes. I hope that he was willing to share his clothes, and you guys aren’t spending the entire trip on who’s wearing what! 

I’m fairly certain that everyone will survive, it’s just that some might end up caving in and going back to their homes a little bit earlier than others. They probably won’t let anyone die out there. At least if we ask  nicely, anyway! They might, people don’t tend to enjoy having money waged on whether or not they’ll do something! A little, you just have to learn how to get ahold of it, figure out what you can handle, then it gets a lot more fun.

Every now and then, I do come up with something somewhat wise to say. Yeah, I know what you mean. We can’t always control the things that we think and do, it kind of happens whether we like it or not. We did the hike! We took turns carrying James, they make all sorts of things to make hiking with babies a lot easier, I can tell you that much. But Otis and Daisy loved it!

They’re nice from what I’ve seen. We have plenty of space in our little cabin for Dylan.  It’s nice to be out in the middle of nowhere, just enjoying the scenery. She’s been a little fussy but she’s adjusting. I think it’s just hard to be away from home sometimes, especially when she tends to curl up with our pets a lot of the time and clearly they didn’t come with us.  I think that a little vacation away from home is good for everyone though. Hopefully you enjoy yourself.
