Out with Friends (literally)

When I separated from Connie I just kind of clammed up.  Got in my shell and hid.  I didn’t really want to talk about what happened or what was going on.  I loved getting the boys, and we did a lot together.  I had friends who checked up on my and make sure that I was alright, but I didn’t really go out with them or get together with them.

Then Catherin and I started dating.  We liked to spend time together, and she was going through a lot of the same things I was.   We didn't want to give up that time together to other people.  So it has been just us for awhile.  We have gotten together with and without the boys.  We rarely get together with friends and family, but when we do we have a really good time.

We recently went camping with friends, and as soon as we got home we planned another trip together.  

Here are pictures from that trip:

Traffic on the way to the mountains.

Waking up COLD!

The camp site.

Breakfast.

Mark telling me how to split wood. 

The ladies impressed with my wood splitting ability.

Feeding fish at the Mark of the Potter--Shop in an old mill.  

My favorite picture of her (from the weekend).

Why I have always opted for motels.

This is why I like walking with her.  This look of wonder is always there.

Love this picture of them.

We think so much alike that when we left, we drove about an hour and stopped to eat.  Mark and Katie stopped at the same place.  We had taken different routes to get there.

It was fun to be out with friends.  I have looked some old friends up and plan on meeting them in the near future.
