Back from Vacation

We just got back from vacation yesterday, and I can not believe that last week went by so fast! We traveled back home to visit with both Nick and I's families and friends. We flew home to Louisiana, and traveled to Gulf Shores, Alabama the next day to spend the week at the beach. We had a super fun time, and made many wonderful memories!

Seeing a shark swimming in the ocean when you are about 25 feet away from it will forever change you...hahaha. We saw two sharks one day at the beach, sting rays, and jelly fish. Needless to say there was never a dull moment. :)


My marvelous father-in-law brought his boat, so a few days were spent wake boarding and tubing around the bay. My arms and legs are still sore from being thrown from the tube multiple times (apparently I am quite out of shape).

I have posted a few pictures from the trip courtesy of Mrs. Chris Buchan Jones. :)

*THE BEACH! It was really beautiful and the water was super clear.

 

 

Even though we took a break from all of our adoption paper work during this vacation, we were still checking on our Bulgarian adoption group for updates from other families in the process of adopting, and keeping tabs on our fundraising websites. Now that we are back I have a few things on the top of my list that I need to check off (getting fingerprinted and getting a Maryland driver's license, which is to be done next week!).

 

Still loads of paperwork left and our adoption classes to be taken, but we hope to get all of it done before Nick starts graduate school in about three weeks. And so far so good. :)
