" The question we asked as we approached the hike was the same question we used when considering the marathon. How can we live the type of story we want to read? It’s led us to experience a lot of fun things together—and a lot of hard things together—and to keep pursuing experiences that will help us learn and grow. We’ve been called crazy, we’ve been called brave, but I think we’ve just constantly improved at knowing what question to ask. "
