Remember the standardized testing we were all subjected to in our secondary education? I was thinking fondly of a particular type of test question that was always fun for me: the analogies. So today, since Kevin has STILL not finished a post on the Wind Rivers, and since I am lazy and want to write as little as possible right now, analogies will do the speaking for me. For those of you who completed your secondary education over 20 years ago and need a little refresher, the analogies are formatted like so...
reinforce:strengthen::erode:weaken
read as, "reinforce is to strengthen as erode is to weaken"
The set of words before the double colon has the same relationship as the set of words after the double colon. Side note: wouldn't that be weird if a person had a double colon?
So, here is my perspective of the Wind Rivers as told in analogies...
nalgene:Kevin&Jamie::hotdog:bun 
first-day-hikers:excitement::jamie-after-catching-a-baby:amniotic-fluid
Tanner:sexy::RuPaul:woman
columbines:rebirth::golden-arches:diabetes
stream:tired hikers::breath-of-heaven:soul
Kevin&Jamie:wilderness::children:playground 
wildflowers:WindRivers::freckles:Jamie
mosquitoes:Tanner'sleg::flies:poop
Nate/Ann/Duncan:hiking::BillyBlanks:TaeBo
lilypads:fishhooks::hair:gum
Kevin:fishingline::devil:flaxencord
Kevin:fish::butcher:cow
Kevin/Tanner:rocks::HideoNomo:baseballs
GoldenLake:romance::Kevin:ridiculously-good-lookingness
P.S. Kevin, we're all still waiting to hear your side of the story. There are still some good parts that I left out (your ear piercing).
P.P.S. I love Kevin more than he will ever love me. End of discussion.

I don't remember this from the standardized tests I took (LESS than 20 years ago), but I think I get it... Jamie:blogging::Austen:literature. Kevin:blogging::Napolean Dynamite:movies. :) Kevin, you "dorky nerd".
Holy mosquitoes! Didn't anyone pack insect repellant? Love the picture of you two together - the one just above the Indian Paintbrush. Very framable.
You're brilliance will never cease to amaze me. It's crazy that the analogies were somehow easier for you?! Hehe, love ya girl! We still have to chat sometime...;)
