The Icelandic word for goodbye is bless. I just love it.

Our trip to Iceland was enriching and indeed a blessing. Traveling and simply time away for our daily rituals and stress is usually rewarding, but this trip seemed to be so much more.

Whether it was perfect timing or perhaps it was just Iceland, in its pure beauty and extreme nature, the trip turned on a light switch, ignited a fire or whatever other colloquialism there is for, “caused a startling change”.

So we said “bless, bless” to Iceland but Iceland has become an accomplice to whatever comes next for us. It’s a root and a foundation and so it doesn’t feel quite right to say goodbye.

Here is where we went:

For #internationalwomensday omensday I want to give a shout out to my wife @louisiana.pearl who is actively pursuing her life with intent and passion. A brilliant poet said it better, so take it away Mary Oliver... One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice – though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug at your ankles. “Mend my life!” each voice cried. But you didn’t stop. You knew what you had to do, though the wind pried with its stiff fingers at the very foundations, though their melancholy was terrible. It was already late enough, and a wild night, and the road full of fallen branches and stones. But little by little, as you left their voices behind, the stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds, and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determined to do the only thing you could do – determined to save the only life you could save. #iwd
It's hard to watch a dog get old, Brody has really slowed down over the past few months. But when we get out in the wilderness he springs to life, and for a coupe hours he is a full blown puppy, splashing in the water, bounding up the trail, taking it all in. The recovery is much longer, but we've decided to do our best to give him as many more of these moments as possible. To elect the shorter or easier trail so he can come along. Here's to you old guy 🐶 From me and your momma @louisiana.pearl 👍 #doglover #dogchild #dogsofinstagram #washingtonstateparks #dogstagram
We are quickly falling head over heels in love with the PNW. To find a couple of days in the middle of February to explore beaches and forests on an island only a few hours drive was amazing. The diversity up here is astonishinh, and we are so excited that we are just starting our explorations. #sanjuanislands #orcasisland #washingtonstateparks #pacificcoast #pacific
Always upgrade to the room with the view. Winter camping up here in the PNW is amazing, especially if you don't like crowds, reservations, or being warm. Just kidding, our bags did great, even the kids sleeping bag we got Brody 😂 #stargazing #wintercamping #orcasisland #sanjuanislands #nightscapes #rei
We are better together, but we are also better when we are outside. Our relationship flourishes when we are doing what we love, getting out and experiencing this paradise we get to call home. I sure do love adventuring with this one. #adventurefix #adventurebuddy #coupleswhotravel #blewettpass #winterwonderland
