Awhile back Lily and I started a self-guided tour of Columbus and the surrounding area in search of different and delicious burgers. This is usually our post training meal and we have enjoyed beef, bison and wild boar burgers so far. These have been topped with every type of cheese, condiment meat and sauce imaginable. We’ve found some little back alley places and have tried to stay away from the run of the mill chain burger places. Before Lily and I met (well, before we started dating) I was would go to the same two places each weekend after training. This is just an example of how routine and boring my life was before Lily came into it. She has changed the way I view the world, how I view myself and how I feel about the future. For the first time I love who I am and am looking forward to every tomorrow with her. She is perfect.
