This hereby declares the end of "colin the coot" and the beginning of the textual legacy of the Hamelbachers dwelling in California's beautiful Sierra Nevada mountain range. Therefore everything henceforth and hereafter shall be representative of Ann and Colin in their current life at Calvin Crest having been sharing life in the marital context for nearly 1.5 year(s); which has included moving 4 times (finally settling in to our 300 sq. ft. mansion), adopting a stray dog (Leia), becoming Aunt and Uncle (x2), battling for life in the Snowpocalypse of 2011, learning Ukulele, rock climbing, hiking, cycling, hammock-ing (while humming bird friends feeder feast) and generally enjoying the friends and adventures that life at 5000 ft. has to offer.

Significants of being "in the Shadow of the Giants". What is this?! It is the name of a hiking trail near Calvin Crest that runs through the magnificent Nelder Grove of Giant Sequoias. *flashbacks upon the Shadow of the Giants trail.

*Exhibit A

June 2008...

Ann: "So, we're dating then?"

Colin: "Yeah!"

*Exhibit B

October 2009

Colin: "Marry me?"

Ann: "Yeah!"

*Exhibit C

The late Summer breeze tickles the Aspen leaves, and teaches the Peas, Goat's Beard and Lupine to wave us on along the trail.

Until next time,

C & A
