Three years ago today, Catherine married me!
Hard to beleive that just 5 years ago we met and shared so much love and happiness together which continues each morning we awake next to each other.
The picture is of my proposal to her on the top of HalfDome in Yosemite National Park. After hiking up to the top at 8800 feet it was clear that we were meant for each other. We knew prior to that, but going backpacking to the back area of Yosemite for her first time then taking the hike to the top of the Dome knowing she is afraid of heights, is an amazing and trusting feat. I have always said that the sky is NOT the limit and we have proved that with many accomplishments in our life and our relationship.
I still recall the day I stood in the kitchen at the 411, nervous, worried and scared as Nik handed me the phone, to ask her Dad for the permission to marry Catherine. When he said "Yes" I felt my knee's just give out from the pressure releasing and yes of course the tears were flowing, flowing with happiness! Oh what a day that was! :)
Just over a year later I am was sitting in my hotel room all dressed and ready for the alter. Was I looking ok for her? Did I fit in the tux ok? Was my hair ok? I need another beer. These were all just nerves, waiting, just waiting for the moment to see her come through those Church doors in her dress... coming through those doors for me. Me! For US!
Happy Anniversary Sweetheart. I love and adore you and ecstatic to be your husband.
