H.. I.. J.. Kayaking... Lasting.. Memories.. N.. O.. P.. Q

Aaron and I had been dating for 6 years when he finally proposed to me. We were floating on a kayak in Santa Barbara when he proposed in the middle of the ocean. Two things struck me at that moment. The first was that despite knowing each other for so long, he seemed a little bashful. The second was that I better not drop this beautiful diamond ring in the ocean. Since then, the kayak has been a source of lasting memories. One of my favorite was kayaking with my dad in Maine. It was great sightseeing from a kayak, and as we paddled for miles, I quickly learned why they called it "Long Pond." Most recently, we used Dave and Jen's kayak to tool around Lake Tahoe. You couldn't wipe the smile off of Kylie's face, and the kids rode as many times as they could. We are looking forward to more kayaking, more memories, and more smiles.

Just be glad you said "yes" out there on the deep blue ocean.

You guys have been married so long that I don't remember that story! I guess I have a pretty bad memory too! Sounds like the kids had a blast on the kayak! ~D
