Friday Five…
5 “things” to see and do in Kentucky (that I’ve done so far)
5 nieces and nephews (Drew, Adam, Alyssa, Zach, & Emma)
4 nights of Yatzee (you win some; you lose some – big time)
3 books read (Scarlett – the sequel to Gone with the Wind, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, The Handmaid’s Tale – currently reading, but will finish before I leave. And, just so you know that adds up to a total of … 1,879 pages, Scarlett has 896, HP has 672, and The Handmaid’s Tale has 311)
2 Library book sales (FUN!)
1 Swimming pool (more fun!)

Who doesn’t like beer? I know some people are out there, but I’m not one of them. I’d like to be a beer taster this week! (I think I already have been…but I’ll keep doing it!) I don’t think my fridge is quite this full yet, but wouldn’t that be nice?!

Family Fun
I’m in Kentucky right now visiting my family. Last weekend, my brother’s family (Jeff, Laura, Alyssa (13), Zach (11), and Emma (6)), and I went to Morgan’s Raid, a civil war re-enactment. Emma loved it! Here are a few pictures. Zach was a little disappointed that more people didn’t die. (After it was over, only four people were “dead”. Jeff said that they probably weren’t too keen to fall off their horses). It was a fun time. Zach booed when the Confederates chased off the Yankees. (Kentucky was a border state, so it did not officially belong to either the Union or the Confederacy, and often times families were torn apart as some members fought for the North and some members for the South.) Anyway, here are a few pictures:

Birthday Flowers
Jonathan sent me flowers for my birthday last week! How nice of him. He had to switch the delivery address at the last minute because I “moved” from my sister’s house to my brother’s hosue (about an hour a way). Thanks Jonathan!

In light of buying our honeymoon tickets yesterday, and the trip that I’m leaving for tomorrow, I have decided that I would like to

We booked our honeymoon!
Today we bought our plane tickets for our honeymoon! We’re going to have a great time in London (Thanks so much Dan and Jane!). We’re also going to see a few other places while we’re there: Paris, Oldenberg (where Jonathan studied as an exchange student), Berlin, and Houston (thanks Brian and Jamie!). We may even have a few more stops along the way. It’s going to be a fabulous trip.
