Time to Remember

Our second honeymoon was a great break away that we both enjoyed quite specially. From the silence of the bush at Channybearup to the excitement of the swaying Tree Top Walk, to fun times, to times alone with each other, we have a cherished time to remember.

It was also a time to remember what occurred this time last year, and more importantly, how it occurred. We stopped in Donnybrook for a walk around Midday and noted that the wedding last year was really about to commence, and as we drove to Bunbury, we counted down the minutes (12:17 PM) when Sarah began walking down the aisle! Nothing was as good as “now” -- being together as a couple to reminisce. We affirmed our love.
s
We had the ideal break. We saw the sights and also chilled out. We had home cooked (romantic) evening meals but bought lunches. We drove away but not too far away; and the sound of the bush where we stayed was breathtaking. We took photos as well, and had a play with some portraits and landscapes.
s
The climax to our weekend away was our evening anniversary date at Seasons restaurant at the Atrium. We affirmed our love again. Later, we went and did something we hadn’t done since before we were married -- we parked and I gently cuddled Sarah and caressed her hair and face. We re-captured something.
s
We re-captured the fact that our marriage can be like this any time we want it to be. We simply need to make the time and effort to love each other. It’s really quite simple. It’s enjoying the journey, not striving for the destination!
