I made it through...

I have awesome friends.

I was away from A all weekend - and they kept me occupied enough to have an wonderful time.

Everyone was asleep when I got to the cabin, which was beautiful and remote and everything I wished for. Then I cried myself to sleep - I missed A so much. The worst part - there was NO cell phone service, anywhere.

But the next morning I took a deep breath, used a pay phone (gasp) and went on amazing hikes. Stunning waterfalls. Amazing waterfalls. We caught up on a year of being apart, we laughed, we drank good beer, made s'mores, soaked in the hot tub...and breathed in wilderness. It was everything I needed.

That said, I found a way to call home every day. And this is one of the adorable photos G sent me to keep me sane while I was away. I missed them both so so much. I was never as glad to get home as I was last night.
