...I caught the bouquet at my cousin's wedding.

...We got married in Hawaii.

...I woke up having a seizure in Cape Cod, the morning of our first-year anniversary. Brain surgery followed.
July 23, 2014...
Our two-year anniversary--and so much to be grateful for.
We decide to go on our favorite bike ride. Even though we are living a traveling life, we happen to be in our previous hometown of Santa Cruz on this day.
We ride up West Cliff Drive and on the bike path along Highway 1. Then through Wilder Ranch and over to a dirt path that follows the ocean. Farm land to our right. Infinity to our left.
Dave suddenly says, "Stop!"We scramble off our bikes. Hundreds of harbor seals lounge in the sun and play in the water.
We watch, entranced. Their silver bodies shimmer, as in celebration.
I'm suddenly so connected, so plugged in to life. As Shakespeare said, "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."
