This is a HUGE 3 part post.
Part one: Vacation
Charlie and I spent the last week in Florida visiting friends, family, and the beach. We celebrated our one year anniversary in the place that we fell in love and got married.
However, sadly my camera died and I realized that my charger was 7 hours away...not worth it.
but not before I shot this.
Wayne's (Charlies brother) pet duck! He hangs out with the dog.
and a few other things we did.
We went hiking with mom at Robinsons Preserve.
We went out to celebrate Schrocks Birthday! Surprise Party Style.
and a video!
