We are about to embark on a journey with several purposes.
First of all, we are excited about going to the BMA Convention in Ohio.
Convention is always an enjoyable time for us. It is so good to reunite with friends and to meet new ones.
After convenion we plan to go to Holmes Co. Ohio to visit my (Mary Ann) sister and family.
From there we are off....to celebrate our 25th anniversary! I struggle with the whole "25" thing because it sounds so old, when we still feel like young marrieds! JR has been planning for this trip for quite awhile already and viciously saving for this 'unknown destination' to me. Last Friday night he took me out for dinner, carried in this 'AAA' bag and after dinner unfolded a map and ask me if I would like to travel the northeast coast/the New England States with him!

Would I?! Absolutely!
Wow, far beyond anything I expected for our anniversary!
We've wanted to make this trip for a long time already but figured we would be much older and grayer before we were priviliged to go. We are sad that the three oldest children will not be able to go with us as they all have jobs that can't release them for an extended travel. We are happy that Erica can accompany us but it will be very different for her to travel without any siblings along to make the trip more exciting. If you know our kids at all, when they travel for hours and hours together...things tend to get a little on the crazy side! The three oldest plan to fly to Michigan and join us at my neice's wedding in August.

So... we haven't started packing yet because we've been too busy getting other things done but very soon we hope to start filling our suitcases.
We are looking forward to spending all this time together...
we love to travel together.
We are hoping to keep in touch with our church family, friends, and family through this blog, let you all in on our travels and make you wish you were celebrating your 25th, too!
Bon Voyage, JR & Mary Ann
Look forward to "traveling" with you through this blog. You will be missed!!
