Russian River Aniversary June 2009

We had great time celebrating our one year aniversary at the Russian River. It was relaxing. Chris even sat and read his book by the campfire for long stretches of time. We got down there Thursday evening and pitched our camping gear after a short burst of rain caught us as we pulled up to our site. I really liked the site Chris picked this year. It was tucked nice and cozy up against the edge of the mountain without exposure to people trampling through your camp to get to their own sites. The people were friendly but we couldn't even see our neighbors due to how the sites are laid out. Purple flowers (Lupin??) were blooming and the weather went from sunny to sprinkling rain to cloudy to windy several times even in one day.

Friday morning, Chris woke up early as usual but with a different mission than heading to work. He made our coffee, got our gear together, and patiently waited on me to rise and shine. Of course, I got up early....well, around 6am as opposed to his 445am time. I was ready though, to get busy with the fishing. This year, after having my eyes lasered last year, was going to be my year to "see" the fish. And I did....I saw the fish. Of course there weren't many to see on the Russian, but fish I saw....3 rainbow trout and one red salmon the whole two days we walked the Russian. Chris being the expert fisherman that he is, caught 4 nice size Reds on Saturday down past the Ferry where everyone else were fishing side by side...shoulder to shoulder....combat fishing away....

Oh, and a side note. Poor Chris got globbered by a flying weight. His neighbor to his left lost a fish and the weight came flying back and knocked Chris down to his knees. OMG, his poor head was bleeding and quickly swelled to a nice goose egg. I was worried. Chris was too somewhat but everyone know the Heman-Superman that he is. The guy asked if he was okay...Chris just said, "I hope so????" I would asked him every now and then ...."Are you okay?" "Do you need to go to get it checked out?", but he would just say "No, just make sure I don't get loopy".

Well, Saturday evening we had friends down and shared a toast to celebrate our one year. I got kind of loopy then, but headed to bed happy to be with my Heman-Superman. The next morning Chris surprised me with a gift (Jewelry) and cards. He had also brought along strawberries and chocolate, but I decided my hang-over wasn't ready for it.

I love him. He loves me. We are happy as we can be. It is so good to be with the one you are meant to be with.

Here is the BIG BEARvideo that we got to view on the Private Island we could not hunt on. It was great watching him. I suppose he would be pretty scary walking up on.......
