Hanging Lake

Unbeknownst to me, my sweet man was deprived of this piece of Colorado heaven for the past 8 years of our relationship. Of course, upon my hearing this news, I made sure to get our priorities straight this year. His anticipation the whole way up the mountain was contagious, adding a certain perk to my step. And as we approached the railing, tipping off the upcoming destination, I felt my own stomach churn with excitement for him. Needless to say, he was not disappointed. And as we carefully walked out on the age-old log, dipping our toes in the crystal blue water, I felt a sense of fulfillment in getting to share another of life's little treasures with him.
