Happy Anniversary!

Well, we've been married one year, and are still crazy about each other, so I recommend this whole marriage thing! Chris is the best husband I ever could have asked for, and we're excited to be starting year two :) On to less mushy things...

So we've moved for the second time, and it was a bit easier. Seems we've figured out even more things we thought we needed, but we really don't. The trip back to LA on July 1st shouldn't be nearly as hard as it could've been. I am thankful, however, that we both feel called to this lifestyle, because we could not have made it without God's help! There have been moments, especially in the last couple of days, where we just look around at all the boxes and laugh out loud to each other at the craziness we've chosen! I am also very grateful for the genes my father donated to me, allowing me to pack tons of things into small spaces! Thanks Poppa!

Other than settling in with some other good friends of ours (generous to allow us to live in their beautiful home), Chris is studying and I'm trying to gear up for the months ahead with my dwindling work schedule. Life is good and we are blessed! Enjoy the couple of pictures of us taking in a beautiful sunset at Fort Lauderdale beach on our anniversary. Looking forward to the more elaborate celebration this weekend!

Memorial Day in Fort Myers

Here are some pics from our recent trip to Fort Myers. I finally got to see a West Coast sunset and explore the gulf! It was a lot of fun, and very nice to finally visit Myles instead of him always coming here! In the last picture, you MIGHT be able to see the dolphin fins on the far right. I know they were super far away, but I was excited nonetheless! We are trying to live it up as much as we can before we leave the beautiful sunshine state. Enjoy and I'll hopefully be posting again soon!

Gumbo and rainstorms...

One thing I will miss about South Florida are the near daily rainstorms during the summer. I suppose if I'm out driving it's not as fun, but on a day off like today, it's fabulous! Especially when the scent of stewing Gumbo is drifting through the apartment. No particular news yet on guaranteed plans for the year, but we are hoping to hear some soon. Until then, we're getting very excited for our Anniversary trip to Key West, Jeff and Jacki's wedding in July, and Franco family vacation in the Tennessee mountains! We're feeling very blessed and ready for the craziness to begin.
Another thing that this storm reminds me of is the beautiful Camp Kahdalea in the Blue Ridge mountains. In honor of Chris and me meeting there 4 years ago, and just for fun, here are some pics from the glorious summer of '06!

Life Update...

Pretty soon, I'll write a more detailed post, but for now, just the reason for the blog. Many people, including much of our family, have blogs these days, and although it pains me a little to jump on the bandwagon, I feel that our life is going to be so busy that this will be an easy way for all of you to keep up with us!

We're currently living with our very close friend Lindsay in my pre-wedding Florida apartment. It was a lot like coming back home! A few weekend's ago we moved all of our stuff into a POD and are now living with very little! Sometimes it is frustrating, but still very exciting!
We have little less than a month to go before leaving our South Florida home for a very busy and fun-filled July in Louisiana!

Until then, we're enjoying the beach and our last few weeks in our humid home. Will post more very soon!
