I can’t walk….
My calves are quivering….

That all sounds fabulous, especially the hike. And that bear picture is adorable!
Is that picture the official introduction of the boyfriend?! Looks like you had fun!
Welcome Back…looking forward to the recap and photos…
Omg omg omg! IS THAT THE BOYFRIEND!? He’s cute!!!!!
Yup, she revealed it was Adam in her last post.
Really I totally missed that! What post? Man I’m slipping up keeping in the loop..
Haha I TOTALLY missed that too!! but i thought it was him! I feel like a stalker now..
Fantastic photos!!
Wow, talk about gorgeous scenery. I’m also on the Is That The Boy?!? train.
Wooooo! So glad you didn’t pull a “Grizzly Man”.
Don’t google that. You won’t like it.
And a second woooo! for boyfriend! Is that Adam?! Jeez, I’ve been reading this blog for way too long that I call people I don’t know by their first names (Need my crazy pills, much?)
But if it is him, I guessed right
and there’s ADAM!
I agree, the boyfriend is way cute!! Glad you had a great time!! I love hiking. You are so lucky. It looks absolutely beautiful!
Can’t wait for the recap!
I thought is was ADAM as well!
Don’t you just wanna run back there and do it all over again, soar calves and all? I love that “I’ve experienced so much and worked my body so hard and loved every second of it” feeling. It’s something only hiking escapades can provide me.
I am so not a camper so I am always amazed at people that can handle rugged conditions!
Ever since you first introduced him…..waaaaayyyyyy back
i knew you guys would end up together
im glad you’re happy
AH!!! the pics look so amazing so far!!! Can’t wait to hear about the trip!
I thought it was Adam!
Your pictures are amaaazing.
The boyfriend! He is real!
Glad you had a good time!
ADAM!
Always thought it was Adam too! Looks like you had a fun time!
I guessed it was him way back when. You guys are adorable together and seem like a great match!
That scenerary is sooooooo lovely that I literally gasped!
Woohoo! I love gigantic, painful hikes!
It’s kind of weird how excited I am that you finally posted a pic of your boy. Yes, very weird…
Could it be? Mr. Wonderful has made his blog debut?
He’s so cute!!!!!!
Oh how fun! And it looks like we are all excited for the boyfriend reveal
Whoop for Adam’s blog debut!
Breathtaking and cute photos! Now go get that massage!
I can’t wait to see more pictures of your trip! I’ve always wanted to go to Yosemite so seeing your experience will be awesome!
I KNEW the boyfriend was Adam
I’m so happy for you two!
I’d guessed that, too. hehe
Love the pictures! I can’t wait for a full recap. Yosemite is on our list of “to-do” vacations. You worked hard for those sore calves! Epsom salt it up!
BOYFRIEND! I love that it’s Adam.
8 1/2 miles is INTENSE for a hike, but totally worth it for that breathtaking scenery! Enjoy your massage, you freaking deserve it!
Yay! A picture of the BF. We’re making progress =) Looks like a beautiful trip!
this looks like such a fun trip!!!!! Love that you are doing a yoga pose int he picture
Aw, the trip looks fun! Looking forward to the full recap
this looks like such a fun trip!!!!! Love that you are doing a yoga pose int he picture
It looks like you guys had a gorgeous weekend! Hopefully it was worth the sore muscles
It’s funny, I felt the same way when I first saw photos of Adam on here way back when. I just thought to myself “now they would be cute together!” congrats
i love travel! Off to Corsica now with the world’s smallest backpack. Let me know if you find a good massage deal
looks epic! i loooove hiking. ah, mountains (home), i miss thee.
I’m glad you had fun! Thanks for sharing with us the mystery man.
That’s so awesome. You and Adam seem so happy together. 
OMG!!! You two are too cute, glad you had a great time.
It looks so beautiful!
aww looks like you had an amazing time!! Can’t wait to hear about it…I hope cocktails were involved
you have insane yoga poses in that pic. so fierce
Welcome back looks like you survived and had a great time.
Aww…FUN! That scenery is absolutely stunning.
Such jaw-dropping majesty! More gorgeous scenery pics, please! Also, fierce yoga pose, lady!
whooo hooo!!! boy!!!!
is this the first official picture of the infamous ‘boy’ we have been hearing about for a while now. He looks very cute, you where right. however, you are right..most of the time..we cant all be perfect can we? we can try
Happy 4th of July it looks like you had a gorgeous weekend!
Looks like you had an amazing weekend! Yay for the boyfriend pic, he’s a cutie:)
Looks like an amazing weekend! I’m jealous…
I’d say 95% of your longtime readers knew your man was the handsome Adam but it’s a bit of a relief to have him “revealed”!
And I am sure it was getting tricky making sure his pic was avoided on every dinner gathering you went to….now y’all can relax!
Now as long as all the readers(including me!) can continue to be respectful of your private relationship and not be too invasive and nosy , then I’d say all systems are go!
People take such a vested interest once they start reading daily…it’s like we forget we are reading NONfiction and we kinda want to dictate where the “storyline” goes….
Welcome (for the 2nd time!) to ELR Adam….and we’ll do our best not to step on your handsome toes
Wow, it looks absolutely stunning!!
OMG first pick of the boy! so excited to finally put a face to him !
Looks like you guys had tons of fun….the scenery looks beautiful there, i cant wait to go myself!
Your pics are awesome, looks like you had an amazing trip
Can’t wait to read the full recap!
THE DEBUT THE DEBUT THE DEBUT OF THE BEAU!
Aww – glad you had a great trip…even with quivery calves!
awhhhhhhh you look great! sounds like a blast!!!
Wow you must be knackered. Glad you survived though!

i’ve only been to yosemite once and your pictures make me want to go back!!
Hey lady! Looks like an AWESOME adventure! Way to go, taking on such a great challenge.
And the boy looks adorable. So fun!
love yosemite. We used to live in california and my parents would drag us on hikes every weekend we could get away from the bay area…I used to hate them for it, but I’m so happy I had the opportunity to see such a beautiful place
Yay for a picture of the boyfriend! Tell him thank you for finally satisfying all of our curiosity! I love 8 mile hikes. My fiance fell in love hiking the Smokies together and most of our hikes were around 8 miles up hill both ways!
