Camping

As usual, we are preparing to go camping this year for Memorial Day with my parents. This will be the first trip that my Dad will get to enjoy since his injury last year (although, he still will not be able to ride his horses).

We are excited to get out of town this weekend and spend time with my family. With all the crazy hoop-jumping lately it will be nice to shut my brain, phone, and email off for a while!

In other news, does anyone know how to get a funky smell out of the refrigerator? A few weeks ago I discovered I left some veggies to spoil while we were out of town..yuck! Anyway, I've tried everything from baking soda to lemongrass, and even airing it out and nothing has helped!

April Showers? I don't think so!

So April was a great month in the Myers home.

We started the month in NJ, and the rest of the month just kept getting better.

The second week we both completed the last of the requirements for life insurance. I know, a morbid thought, but Dave Ramsey said it's important, and as we all know: if he recommends it, we'll probably do it :)

Later in the month we decided to take a quick weekend trip to Orlando! We hopped in the car on a Thursday evening (after having decided to go just a few hours before) and were in Atlanta that night. It's really nice that with the hotspot on my phone Warren is sometimes able to work from the car. So, I drove, Warren worked, and we were in Orlando by Fri. night. We spent the next 2 days at Universal.

On the way home we stayed with my parents for a few days, partially to visit but also because I needed to take my Dad to an appointment.

No sooner did we get home, get the laundry washed, and it was time to pack again. Warren had to be in D.C. starting the 30th. As much as I have traveled over the last nearly two years of marriage, I still HATE flying, so since we had the time we decided to take the train. We were able to get a room on the train which included all our meals for less than the cost of one airline ticket (we were returning on Derby weekend). It was nice to enjoy the relaxing ride and scenery out to D.C. I would recommend getting a room anytime the trip is more than 8 or so hours.

Anyway, that brings us up to May! Wonder what this month will hold? So far things are going great and we are having a blast! This particular season of life has been very good!
