my, my, my...looks like we've found ourselves together again. nice to see you.
marc and i have been in the blue monster for over two thousand miles...in the past seven days. just yesterday, we lost a hubcap somewhere in eastern oregon. along this trek from seattle, to salt lake city, i asked marc a question..........
"how long had you been thinking you wanted to marry me, before you proposed?" point zero one second of silence...
"oh, i don't know...how long had you been bothering me about it?"
ah. true love. five years in the making, right there.
marc and i plan on cementing our love this fall on the shores of lake superior. the past seven days, i've had many..many..many hours to reflect on love....especially, the acts we do for love. and i suppose, honestly, the only true conclusion that i've been able to settle with, is this...if you think too hard about "those acts we do for love", you can lose sight of the very reason you did it in the first place.
so, why did i agree to a multiple thousand mile journey in a blue mercury villager, listening to dead prez and bob marley, eating at a cracker barrel (YUCK), discussing endlessly religion, obesity, and the construction of the national parks?
it's the same reason i was fighting with him five minutes before he got down on one knee, on valentine's day of all the days, out in the middle of forrest, shivering, complaining that i was cold, the snow was icy, and no marc, i am not going to cross country ski across a frozen lake...because, it was and still is, and mother earth save me, will most definetly always be, him.
