More: Boone came out of the woods and found me at my river outfitter where I was a river guide on the Ocoee River. He has been the greatest gift of my life. We have had two cross country backpacking trips, just the two of us, countless hikes and adventures together, and we have both grown tremendously through learning ab each other and loving each other. He is intense, incredibly smart, empathic, funny, a force to be reckoned with when it comes to hunting. He is the most loyal best friend I could have ever asked for and through his soulful eyes, I have learned about the woman I am and who I want to be. 6 years together so far and a whole lifetime still wouldn’t be enough time.
