James and I met through a mutual friend. This friend invited us to a "short" hike with a jump into a refreshing pool of water at the end of it. The hike ended up being a difficult four mile round trip hike. As someone who loves hiking, James came prepared in hiking boots and a backpack with necessities. I came to this hike so unprepared and in flip flops. All the way to the top, I complained about everything! James on the other hand had no complaints. He was having fun! To my surprise, when our group got to the top of the hike, there was no pool of water to jump into. All the way down, I continued to complain and whine. James on the other hand was having fun. Even though our meeting may not have been in the best circumstances, we now love each other through all my complaining and whining.
