Officially Mr. and Mrs. (and other updates)

Well we did it – June 18 with some of our closest family and friends (both in person and on Zoom) we got married. It was a short and sweet ceremony filled with love and even a few tears (I get emotional – it’s normal for me). We enjoyed a wonderful lunch after with sandwiches, salads, and a delicious cake topped all off with a fun champagne fountain. After living together for 2 years you’d think it wouldn’t be much different but there are subtle differences – that joy of saying my husband/my wife being one of them. There’s also a little bit different connection that I know I feel with Michael – it’s hard to describe or explain.

A few days before the wedding we found our new truck. We picked her up the Tuesday after the wedding – we needed time to empty the old one out and have the wedding and Father’s day. We have a brand new Dodge Ram 2500 Big Horn. She’s a beauty.

Friday after the wedding I headed for New York to see my family. My uncle’s 70th birthday was the 25th and a great time to see most of my family in NY for the first time in many years. I flew in to Hartford and after a really bad hotel room that night I loved spending part of Saturday and Sunday with my family before heading back to Hartford to fly back to Oklahoma on Monday. It was a whirlwind trip and I’m still recovering from it. Anxiety and lack of sleep wore my immune system way down and I’ve been battling exhaustion and some sinus garbage. I’m on the way to feeling better but it’s taking it’s dang time to happen.

These next 10 days are going to be busy for us as we leave on the 15th for more adventures and some exciting plans coming up. Michael is at the clinic getting his eyes examined today, vet appointments for both dogs for yearly shots on Wed. and Thurs. afternoon (they are too complicated to take together), repacking the Travel Trailer bearings, and replacing 2 new tires (if they ever get here) are all on the agenda for this week. We want to get all our laundry cleaned up and we need to re-load all our stuff in the truck that we usually store in there. We put some step rails and a tonneau cover on the back to help try to keep our stuff protected from the elements. We want to make a few casseroles before we leave and head to Branson next week. I’m so excited to start getting to take some pictures of places I’ve never been before and update with posts on the new things we’re seeing. Make sure you follow our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to follow the photos that don’t make it to the blog. The links are on the main page here.

For those who keep coming back thank you so much. I love getting to share our adventures here with everyone.
