Happy Anniversary!! No complaints

Gates Pass hiking

Can't complain about this this beauty! Happy anniversary! 2 years today! Happy to be married to a great wife and mother.

I'll cut the romance and give an ever-so-brief update. In case you didn't know, UA has one of the biggest winter breaks, ever. I've been off since Dec 16th and don't go back until Jan 12th. It almost makes me want to be in undergrad forever.

The break has been filled with feasting, enjoying and hanging out with family, doing some big hikes, and more feasting, baby blessings, Christmasing, Sharon's birthdaying, and anniversarying (efficient blogging, yes?). It's been a great time to just relax, enjoy family, and do nothing while I still can.

Nobody I know really goes to the Tucson Mountains much and I feel it's a bit underrated, so I thought I'd post a few pictures of our recent hike. It's only 20 min west of us, but it's a well preserved beauty just outside of Tucson.

The deuter baby backpack has been great

Not a bad place to go, especially with the awesome baby-backpack that Sharon got from Mom and Dad for Christmas/birthday. Wait a minute... why am I always using her gift?
