Our paths first crossed during high school - a late night card game one player short caused our meeting. However, friends of friends don't often stay in touch, and we were no exception. Thankfully Brent was moved to reach out again a few years later.
Every now and again we get a hankering for adventure and where better than the California Coast - where the rocky beaches cushion the larger than life redwoods. We started the day off with a kayak tour of the coastal caves. It was cold and tiring and beautiful. After regaining the feeling in our toes we set out on a hike through the redwoods. As life goes, Shelby was unfairly attacked by a yellow jacket 3 minutes into the trek and refused to turn back. An hour later Brent suggested we stop for a picture. Brent, hiding behind the guise of changing his lens, got down on one knee.
