Stephanie & Steve

I hopped on the batbike and flew out to Willville.  This was in 2020.  I fell in love with the people and the spirit of the place immediately.  In my quiet and shy style ;), I made myself the unofficial greeter of Willville.  I began making regular trips out to Willville from Norfolk, VA.  One sunny day in July 2020, I ran up on a super cute dude who was just setting up camp to fully inform him where the showers were, how to pay for the site and to let me know if he needed any help.  Super cute dude happened to be Steve who happened to have been to Willville many times and was well educated on where things were.  Apparently, my unnecessary helpfulness was cute and Steve proceeded to effectively and nonchalantly woo me over the next year!

I still found the bathroom, the envelopes to pay for my stay, the washer and dryer, coffee in the morning, fire ring in the evening and eventually contact information from her personally.  As I watched and listened to her interact with others I started to ask myself if everything she was saying about herself was true.  I have found out it was. 

The amount of miles, the newness to riding, the many friends in a short period of time, riding in all types of weather, spending as much time as possible at Willville, two different bikes, pavement and gravel, singing every song known at the campfire and doing it all with a Smile. But of course with a smile, because on the side of her helmet it says Smiles Davis. 

As I learned all this about her I realize how unique of a person she was. That is why I wanted to get to know her even more. While doing that I have found she is even more unique.  A person that is content and happy with herself.  Not needing much of anything from others. She has done very well on her own. And yet her greatest joy is helping others become better at what ever it is they are doing, work, play, relationships, spiritual, health, happiness and laughter. 

Stephanie has already added a great deal to my life. I want to move forward with her. Who she is as a person is what I need in my life, for the rest of my life.
