We celebrated Father's Day with a hike in the mountains. The entire family went, even the old cat! It was a beautiful day as we drove to the trailhead. We parked our truck and began a short hike to Taylor lake. The dogs romped in the water and the cat explored new grasses to feast upon. Taylor lake is a small lake (pond) created be snow melt and rain, it sits at nearly 12,000 ft. The sky is so brillantly blue at that elevation. What a great place to bond with the family.
It all started in the spring of 2007 when I moved to Durango. That's when I checked Jim out. I was working as a cashier at a grocery store and he came through my line on my first shift in Durango. It took a few months for him to ask me out on our first date, but from there it was as if we had always known each other. He proposed by a small mountain lake and we were married 8 weeks later... Naked on a mountain top. A beautiful wedding just between the two of us, on a quilt under the sun at nearly 12,000 feet in the brillant blue sky. Now together we hike, mountain bike, trail run, motorcycle, snowboard and everything else you can imagine outside. We have stable jobs, a modest home, a crabby old cat and two knuckle-headed dawgs. We will never be rich in money but we are already rich in love and life. We are living the Durango Dream!!
