This week I'm enjoying some time away with Faith. We've done a no-kids vacation for all 27-years of our marriage--so even though we are inching closer and closer to being empty-nesters...we aren't stopping now. We've been holed up in the mountains of Whistler, British Columbia for a few days--enjoying hikes, meals and hanging out together. It's pretty easy when you love the person you are doing life with!
