To the wilderness!

This will be my last post for a while as we are leaving tomorrow for a little love and adventure!

"Love", you say, "how so?" Love will be involved in our vacation in a number of ways....

1. Love will be celebrated in honor of our 5th and Kristi & Eric's 11th wedding anniversary on August 18th
   
2. Love will be remembered in remembrance of my Grandma Virginia Johnson's birthday on August 18th
   
3. Love will be shared as we visit family and friends in Minnesota & North Dakota
4. Love will be witnessed as our friends Brett & Carrie exchange wedding vows in Faribault, Minnesota on August 19th

The adventure begins on Tuesday when we reach the Bob Marshall Wilderness area in western Montana. We plan to do some backcountry hiking, camping, and fly fishing with Aaron's sister Emily. I have the official "go ahead" from the OB doctor and I'm ready to go!

Here's a map of where we're going (click on it to see it better):

We ask that you pray for our safe travels, and after our lovely adventure I'll be sure to post some pictures and have some stories to tell!
