beach bound!

As I am typing, Chris is loading the car for our trip. We are leaving early tomorrow morning. We have been so busy, I haven't had time to post. Finals are over. We had our second anniversary Sunday. I can't believe it has been two years, even though we have been "Chris&Amanda" for almost eight years.

We stayed with my parents for a few days. They are going back to Little Rock Saturday. We celebrated my dad's birthday early, since they will be gone on his real birthday. Chris, Brooks and I enjoyed being there. We picked apples and went swimming. Chris and Dad went fishing. There are no photos documenting the apple picking event because we were wearing our swimsuits. I know my mom is grateful for the break from the clinic. It was nice to see her. They are really tired, but almost one third of her treatment is complete!

Brooks has been bouncing off the walls! We had to put his crate in the car first, so he has figured out that he is going with us. I packed all of his stuff in a bag, with his ducky on top, but he took ducky out to sleep with him tonight. So funny. I plan to video him on the beach. I am certain that he will be afraid of the waves. Chris is taking all of his fishing stuff, of course. I have a few books to read. I am looking forward to this break, especially since it is Chris's last summer off and I will start working in a few months. I am sure I will have tons of pictures to post when we get back.

Here is a little extra:

This is a funny picture from a few days ago. Anytime we change the paper towel roll, he starts jumping around in circles begging for the tube. I am not sure why he does it. Maybe because Chris provokes him.
