Donkeys On Palmyrita

I captured this particular instant on Dec 12, 2014, a Friday, at 10:45 AM. I don't remember why I was off work on this day and time, but I suspect that because you were off, I took it off so that I could spend as much time with you as I could. I was obsessed with you and wanted to monopolize your every free moment. I had discovered this area just a few weeks earlier while out business calling, and the presence of donkeys caught me by surprise.

I'd previously heard that there were donkeys in the inland empire, but I hadn't thought much about them, nor had I set about looking for them. Discovering them was dumb luck, but as soon as I saw them, I knew that I needed to bring you out here because...hmm, it was different, maybe? Yeah, that was it; I was not capable of taking you on weekend getaways or to attend courtside basketball games, but I could show you... uh, wild donkeys. I am glad that you were so fascinated and enthusiastic about seeing them, because I didn't have much else up my sleeve, and I was fresh out of tricks.

I love that you take to new experiences so well and I'm glad that I had a few new experiences to introduce you too. I love that while you are a sophisticated girl, you find delight in pure and real experiences. I love that we've got years to go and many experiences to share, some of which we have no idea what they will be. As long as I'm with you, that's ok. I have long since been to a point where I only want to have new experiences with you. We both know that they'd be wasted on anyone else.
