Things are getting pretty exciting here with us. Over the weekend we firmed up more plans for our trip… which is coming up in exactly 4 weeks! In 31 days from now, we’ll be heading to the airport to begin a mammoth trip around the world. At last count we’ll be on 3 continents and

I don’t know about you, but this has probably been one of the most relaxed Januarys we’ve had in ages. Strangely enough though, we’ve been pretty busy.
