We are about to leave FL for Michigan. It will be a 1,336 mile trip, and we want to make it in 20 hours! Wish us luck.

soccer mom???
OK Laura here, thought this was blog-worthy.
Today Ian installed the whole, "Tennis ball on a string so you don't crash into anything in the garage" contraption......
I know it has nothing to do with the fact that Ian wasn't able to open the door to his car today due to the fact that I parked too close to him.....
Either way, I guess that's how you know we're married! (or almost!!)

The cash tree...
Yesterday was our last contracted day---SUMMER VACATION! (Or, in our case, 21 days until the wedding!--oh man!)
Each year one the team members that Ian works with throws a little end-of-year BBQ at her house. It's great because Malik can come and run around, and everyone just relax. This is a day that I look forward to for a long time.
Earlier on Thursday, Laura was starting to feel the "countdown" and was frustrated that the party was during her "workout" time. She decided at lunch to not go, or go rather late. I was bummed, but knew that once Laura made up her mind--the decision was made.
I finished my long day of meetings, and scurried over to make my dentist appointment. Of course it was no normal appointment since Laura plays Bunco with those girls so they all wanted an update on the wedding. All I could think about was getting to the party because my Assistant Principal had been bugging me all week for a CD for a bachelorette party she was going to, and since I had forgotten it she agreed to meet me at the party at 4:30p--this was not working...
When we arrived, there were three or four cars there that we did not expect, like my Principals, and a few of our friends. But we just thought "that’s Connie, just inviting more people!"
Connie's husband walked us in to the pool house, and SURPRISE! Man, we were totally surprised! There were about 40 people there for us. The theme was "destination unknown" and there was tons of tropical decorations. Then there was the cash tree.
As if we have not been spoiled enough at our 1st shower, the theme for this was that people added cash to a tree (see the pic). All I can say is WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
Thanks to everyone that came!
