As I write this, we’re just beyond two weeks married. It’s still a little surreal after our nearly two year long journey to get here. Although things have changed, they really haven’t.

Early in the afternoon I boarded a plane in Tallahassee, Florida headed for Cape Town, South Africa. This wasn’t my first trip across the ocean to be with Kim, but this time it was different.

This time I had a one-way ticket.
