Steph on the road through the Gap of Dunloe
Steph and I traveled to Ireland in September (I’ve finally uploaded the photos); we spent a week driving and walking around Killarney, the Dingle Peninsula and Lahinch. In the photo above, we’re about a mile into a 7 mile walk through the Gap of Dunloe. I was hesitant at first about walking the Gap, but it turned out to be a much-needed opportunity to relax, get some exercise, and really enjoy the landscape and each other’s company.
When describing the trip, I often find myself diminishing the length of time spent on the trip as “only a week”, but what’s that about? I live a life where I can fly thousands of miles to another country, spend a week doing nothing except what I want, eat well, and sleep comfortably each day. When I return, I find my home intact, family safe, and job waiting. Through the whole trip, I have a beautiful woman to share each day.
This photo reminds me that there’s so much to be thankful for in my life. There’s Steph, patiently waiting for me to catch-up and continue down a long road with her. There’s a lot of traveling behind us, but opportunity is still out in front. For that and so much more, I’m incredibly thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
