heart.

birthdays.
(or, another cheesy post that S will not approve of being associated with)

last september, somehow we dragged (and were dragged) ourselves to the top of kilimanjaro....

before:
and after:
the climb happened to fall during a particularly intense time of my life, and it turns out that my brother and sister-in-law were exactly what i needed then...
i gained such an added appreciation for both of them in ways that i wouldn't have ever guessed before that trip.

i'll take them both on my team anyday.

happy birthday, bros. ;)

I guess this post makes you an official Hulkamaniac, because you have fun with you family and friends. Sorry... I'm on a total Hulk Hogan kick today.

I'm just seeing this. Thanks for the sweet words. I am so thankful you were there. It really made the trip to have you as our companion. There's nothing like suffering together to bring people together, eh?
You Rock!
