Adventures of Mr. and Mrs. Brown

I cannot tell you how many amazingly fun adventures we have been on since our honeymoon! I think there are more than the fingers on my hand. We have been on the adventures of fixing Chad's car, the adventures of the English bulldog (Charlie has an upper respiratory infection, yay!), the adventures of renting a car, the adventures of going back to school, the adventures of my dad throwing his back out (he is stuck upstairs, I am a little scared), and the adventures of Hallmark Ornaments. Is there a rule that says when you go on vacation that when you come back you have to go through hell? I need a vacation after my vacation! It has been a rough week.

We were able to go to the Highland Games this past Saturday and Chad and I are official Graham Clan Members, yay! Chad was so excited to hear about his ancestors and we brought home lots of information for him to read too. We have an official Graham genealogist now that can help us trace back to specific relatives and know specific dates. I keep wondering when things will slow down but it doesn't look like they are going to anytime soon.

We have made our Christmas plans. Last night we chose which cruise we are going on. We leave on December 11th for 6 days. We are leaving from Charleston and we have 2 days in separate cities in the Bahamas and 1 full day in Key West, and a couple days at sea. We are so excited. We are posting a map of the world in our front room (office, spare bedroom) of all the places we have been and all the places we still want to go. We are planning a big trip in the Spring of 2012 because I graduate in the Winter of 2011 so we are all going to celebrate in Scotland and Ireland. So far we have a group of 7 people going. We look forward to that trip everyday, and our savings keep growing little by little. Between now and then we will settle with smaller more affordable trips, like our cruise in December.

I will leave you with a couple of fun pictures of Chad and I in Key West, smile. :) Also check out the few I put on our slideshow from our parasailing adventure.
