This pic explains itself - doesn't it? Who hasn't ever felt like a Jackass in love??

Chillin at an old homestead site in West Virginia - Joe's home state.

First trip away together, no kids, outside of Scottsdale AZ. We both realized how perfectly matched we were, hiking to the top of Flat Iron Mountain.

"Oh my heck, this is what true love feels likes!" Our first backing trip together in Idaho - seeking out hidden hot springs.

Oh how sweet! Loving life and each other - on yet another hot springs tour in Eastern Oregon.

Taking time for a photo op while biking Peterson Ridge - later this day - Joe proposed to Shelly!

Hiking in the Umpqua forest on a raining day - 1 day post our engagement - Rain is not bad luck!

All smiles after making it down off of Mt Hood safely - We did not summit, given boiler plate conditions & Shelly being an absolute novice mountaineer- but of course Joe has summited multiple times..

Shelly took a big digger off her mountain bike but finished the ride anyway - Joe's smiling because he likes that Shelly doesn't mind getting dirty.

First Halloween together - can you guess our costumes? Shelly has Chains and a smoke machine, Joe has "yours" taped to him. Come on anyone?? 1) Chain Smoker 2) "I'm Yours" So clever right??

Oh how cute! Shellys 21st first birthday + 30 years

Hiking Tumalo mountain for a Spring Ski - Shelly is so impressed with Joe's sexy chest!

Enjoying a beautiful sunset along the Deschutes River in our home town.
