yesterday was our 9th anniversary. much has changed since may of 2001, but many things are still the same too. brian and i are still best friends and love being together.
to commemorate our love we went out to a nearby canyon and hiked up in it to do some high-adventure trout fishing and hiking. it was a lot of fun. the weather was beautiful, the canyon was beautiful, and the trout we caught were beautiful too. we caught 8 fish and then cooked them up over a fire. then we hiked/fished some more. once we had 8 more we cooked those up over another fire and ate them.
eating 8 trout each sounds like a lot, but these aren't huge fish. honestly, it was just a nice, light lunch.
the high-adventure part of the fishing expedition was a lot of fun. we both ended the hike dirty (from sliding, falling, ect) with a lot of scratches, a little sunburnt, and wet.
two other cool things were (1st) brian found a wild morel that we ate with our fish. we looked around for more, but could only find the one today. second, we saw a male and female western tanager. if you don't know what they look like, look them up. they're beautiful--especially the male.
the morel brian found. we cooked this up with the second batch of fish--very delicious.
the scenery.

9 years and 1 day?? wow! congratulations. sounds like a great day, even if you did end up sundburned and dirty. happy anniversary!
Happy Anniversary. I think you should make it a tradition to consume the same number of fish as years you've been married on the grand day. What a feast it would be
