*This hike was on the Peralta Trail, up to Fremont Saddle and to Weaver's Needle in the Superstition Wilderness Area. The trail was two-and-a-half miles from the trail head to the saddle and climbed over 1,300 feet in elevation. Though the climb was demanding at times, the views were majestic and rewarding.

This format where you have written the words on the pictures is brilliant. I love the way it takes the reader (me) through the walk and I almost feel as though I were there. What beauty is around you, Val! It's an absolute creation by God and your pictures with the words capture all of it. You led me through it as if I were right there. The only thing missing was being able to actually feel it, smell it and hear it. In a word? Lovely.
My husband (one of your mafia wars buddies!) and I hiked a mountain trail where we lived. While it was through temperate rain forest, it had a similar length and elevation gain. he still calls it the 'Death March'. Loved the photos here as the terrain is so very different from where we live.
I'm a single mother of two amazing little boys. Braeden tends to be engineer-minded and very curious about how things work and why things do what they do. Tanner is more like his mama, curious to an extent, but then content to go off and dance and be creative. He can often be found laying on the floor, usually in a quieter corner, drawing on a piece of paper.
I do etsy because I absolutely love paper-crafting and love the etsy community and artists and love being a small part of it.
In addition to that, I'm working toward my dream of being an author. You will see snippets of my writing here, along with news when it is appropriate to share about how writing projects are going.
Life is short, break the rules,
forgive quickly, kiss slowly,
love truly, laugh uncontrollably,
and never regret anything
that made you smile.
-Mark Twain

A love story never guarantees a happy ending. Life never guarantees an easy solution. One woman experiences all of the ups and downs of love and life as she endures a health crisis and begins a life with a man who has mental health issues. She is forced to face her fears, to take leaps of faith, and to make hard choices which will surely change her life.
