The power of time

Today Brian and I were out on a Sunday afternoon motorcycle ride with some new friends from church who were "leading" the ride. We ended up riding around the north end of the county in the Battle Ground-Delphi area where we used to ride all the time, but not so much anymore. I was moved so much by the flood of memories of all the places we've been and things we've done together in our 10 years together. We drove down the road where we test drove our first car--the one we drove all night to Myrtle Beach for the summer just weeks after we bought it. It was a beautiful fall day a few years ago that we took a Sunday ride down those windy back roads just weeks after I gave birth. It's an amazing thing to share your life with your best friend. There really aren't words to describe those feelings.
