Second Anniversary

A long time ago, or what seems like it now, Kyle and I use to sit up in a tree on squalicum beach and talk about our goals and dreams. In a scrapbook we made a list of places we wanted to see together, and adventures we wanted to go on. I called them "Kyle's Firsts" but as the years have gone by I have definitely been on some "firsts" of my own with Kyle too! Last year for our first wedding anniversary we went skydiving in Hawaii. That was one of the most incredible things we have done. I always tell him it's up there with the wedding day. This year for our second anniversary we went bungee jumping in Whistler, B.C. I told Kyle that was one thing I would never do, no matter what. Then I realized something...or rather a few things. First, I made a vow to be by Kyle's side through all of life's experiences (which doesn't exactly mean jumping off a bridge, and I realize I could have just been there to witness). Second, if I didn't bungee jump with Kyle he would still be going...without me. He would have that memory with someone else and I would probably regret it. Lastly, I thought about it and the one thing I'm terrified of most is dying. BUT maybe, just maybe, if the only thing I have left to do at the end of my life is die, then dying won't be quite so scary. So I decided to face my fear and take a risk. It's not something that I am itching to do ever again, but I am really glad that I did it. We had another first together and lived to tell the tale. For our next anniversary maybe we should just relax on a beach...

We have shirts to prove it.
