Glad you sound so good! You know, I think the thing we learn through this process is OURSELVES. I, too, would have never camped before, and now I'm begging H to go. (He used to complain I wouldn't be open to that, and now HE'S dragging his heels...ugh!)
Embrace yourself. I think so much is made of the "two becoming one" that we forget who we are as individuals. You don't sacrifice your personality to another person...you accept each other and learn a thing or two in the process.
You keep doing your awesome Dana thang!
