That’s right, Rick and I board our plane tomorrow afternoon. This vacation has been long anticipated. I am just besides my self with excitement. I think the idea of not working for 2 weeks is what I am most thrilled about. However, seeing so many members of both families is something I am also looking forward to. It’s been too long, especially for Rick. I am excited to tuck my toes into the sand, hear the ocean waves and hold my new niece. The weather has been crummy around these parts as of late; lots of rain. There has been so much pollen in the air, too. It’s so intense, I have been wiping off a very think layer of yellow “dust” from every single piece of furniture in every single home I clean, these past two weeks. I have never seen such a thing.

On Wednesday night, after Rick and I were in bed and the lights were out, he leaned over and whispered in my ear, “Happy Found-her’s day, Babe!” Wow, that’s right! One year has passed since I met Rick, that Monday night, at his parents house. I remember it as if it were yesterday!
