the 5 year plan...

Hey all...

you know me--I am a planner. I love plans, lists, more plans, ideas that lead to plans, and even more lists. Yes I am the lame-o who makes lists for myself on Saturdays, that actually include "wake up" and "eat" and "shower"...ok, I know, just bear with me...

So when my boy Elroy and I got married, we went to Costa Rica on our Honeymoon--it was AMAZING...getting married in September limits travel on the eastern seaboard due to hurricanes, so we flew west to paradise...so when we were on our honeymoon, we started making plans (the boy knows the way to my heart!!)...and we said that on our 5 year anniversary, we wanted to go to Italy...

it was a pipe dream at the time, and to be honest with you, at the beginning of 2007 it was a pipe dream as well...but God honored our plans, and yesterday we booked our flights to Italy from Sept 12-21!!!!!!! God had his list too and wanted to check it off for us!! :)

We are finalizing the details, but we do know this...we will be in Venice on a Gondola ride on September 14th, 5 years from the day we said I DO!! I am psyched!!!!

We are going to Venice, Rome and Positano. Our friend Bethany is working on the ultimate Italian itinerary for us...it will be a fun list that I can check off!! :)

So here's to plans!!! and lists!! and the pens/pencils I use to mark things off the lists!!
