Over the past few days, we’ve been camping with close friends on the Lostine River. We never left the campsite, never hiked, never did anything but sit by the river, play games, and enjoy life.

It was a trip that was planned to be just a little more. Oh, there still was going to be a lot of sitting along the Lostine, enjoying the mountain water, and generally being lazy.

But there was to be a small ceremony too. Due to the pandemic, that was not to be. Next year, perhaps a little sooner.

For now, at least officially, I’m still single. This wasn’t the weekend it was meant to be, but our day will come. We’re ready, we’re just waiting for the world to be ready with us.
