for reals

 so we really celebrated our one year of marriage by kayaking the colorado river. upstream. it was hard. but gosh, it was sooo beautiful. the husband really likes a challenge (and i guess i do too) so this was a perfect way to celebrate wedded bliss. ha.

we started at a little place called willow beach. the water was so clear. it looks peaceful, but let me tell you, it is an illusion. the current was really strong and for some reason always seemed to pull us left. lets just say our left arm got an awesome workout. ugh.

we had to be back by 4pm so the husband and i paddled our little hearts out. for 8 miles, and dont forget about the strong current. oh, and we found a little beach we pulled off to for a quick swim and to rehydrate.  then on the way back we found a cool little cave we hid in for a bit and just soaked in our surroundings (and rested our arms;))

kayaking is one of our favs. even though my muscles are sore and i now have blistered hands i cant complain. i love nature. i love doing activities in nature. and i love being in nature with the one i love. duh. happy one year. now we'll try and make it to two:)
