25 years

 


How do I put love into words? Especially after 25 years of marriage, two children, a few dogs, and various moves we have made both with jobs and homes. How do I explain how someone is in my daily thoughts, and every decision I make takes her into account?

I have seen her grow into an exceptional mother, loving and understand wife, and beautiful human being. She is the reason I am still here on earth.

Dearest Marcie,

Twenty-five years. A quarter of a century. It feels like yesterday we stood at the altar, our hearts brimming with hope and anticipation. And yet, as I look back on these years, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude and love.

You have been my constant, my rock, my guiding star. Your love has been a beacon of light, illuminating my path even in the darkest of times. Our home is alive with the melody of your laughter, bringing boundless joy, while your kindness ignites a warmth within my very being.

I cherish the memories we've made together - the adventures we've embarked on, the challenges we've overcome, the simple moments of happiness we've shared. Each year has been a new chapter in our story, filled with love, growth, and endless possibilities.

As we celebrate this milestone, I want you to know that my love for you grows stronger with each passing day. Thank you for being my best friend, my confidante, and the love of my life.

Happy Anniversary, my love.

Tim

Rocky Ridge/Breeden Ridge Trail

Photo by: Tim Bindner Photography Today I met my buddy Mark at O’ Bannon Woods State Park for a hike.  In this Coronavirus terrifying world, I needed to get out. My week had not been going so well.  I got some surprises at work that changed how future projects will go for me and I was bombarded by daily messages of doom about the Corona Virus.  I was looking forward to the weekend because I had two hikes planned.  This is the only one that happened. After a two day headache (Friday and Saturday) I was able to get out and hike.  I met Mark at the campground in O’ Bannon Woods and we set off on the Rocky Ridge Trail.  This is the trail we had planned on hiking a few weekends ago but it ended quickly when the forecasted 30% of rain became 100% sleet. The trail this time was still muddy but as I could tell by the campground area we would be alone.  As my boots slushed through the mud I watched from behind as Mark often caught a tree root or rock with the toe of his boot, sending...

I almost died - Adventure Hiking Trail.

Photo by: Tim Bindner Photography (https://www.instagram.com/timothybme/) This morning I was able to cross off a mini-bucket list item.  I have always wanted to hike on the Adventure Hiking Trail (AHT) and today I achieved that with my good friend Mark. We met in the parking lot by the guard shack at the entrance to the park.  We took a moment to greet each other and both of us tried to decide to wear a jacket or not.  Mark loves to drive and since he has a Jeep I was okay with him hauling us to our starting point.  I loaded my gear in his Jeep, climbed in and we headed off. As Mark turned onto Cold Friday Road I felt my excitement level begin to rise as I had been looking forward to this hike for a long time.  The road, though paved was very bumpy and curvy.  It was littered with debris.  Not man-made debris but the kind only Mother Nature could provide.  The Jeep crushed branches, it road over leaves and small rocks, and we seemed to feel every puddle and pothole as we descended the ...

True Friends - Part 2

My luck might be turning for the better.  At least in the short term. Out of the blue Wednesday, I got a text from a dear friend asking if we could have lunch Thursday.  As I had to work, I had to decline but he followed up with “what time you get off?”  So we scheduled an early dinner to meet.  I was excited and a bit nervous, as I was not sure why he wanted to meet. Shawn is a lifelong friend who I wrote about in a previous blog .  We have known each other since we were kids.  He is like a brother to me.  Throughout our lives, we have taken different paths and have gone years without speaking due to kids, wives, and careers, but when we do get together it is like nothing has changed. We met at Cracker Barrel, and as is always the case I arrived early.  I sat down and starting thinking about how we met, the many times we spent together and some of the crazy adventures we had been upon.  Shawn has been in my life for 36 years. Soon he arrived, sat down and we began talking. ...
