WoooHoooo! The countdown is on...just 13 days till our next adventure. June 13th we'll be heading to Italy again. The plan is to spend the first four nights in Cortona. We'll be taking a balloon ride with Robert Etherington of Ballooning in Tuscany...can't wait. We'll also be spending a day cooking with Alessandra Federici in Cortona...we've heard wonderful things about her.
The next five days we'll be based in Florence. I'm going to meet my man "David" and eat plenty of gelato. :) We haven't really planned more than one thing per day...we want to really experience Florence the slow way. I've spent a lot of time reading the SlowTravel forum, and I hope I've learned how to take my time and become part of my surroundings.
Life is good...let the packing begin!

Merry Christmas to MarcWe have a new addition to our happy little family. He's an English Bulldog puppy named Count Meatball of Azurewood. Santa brought Meatball for Marc...he must have been very good last year. :) Meatball was just three pounds at Christmas and look at him now! At five months old he's a whopping 22 pounds and still growing. He's just a tiny bit spoiled...haha. Meatball has been such a wonderful addition to our little family that we're going to get him a little buddy of his own. We're planning for her arrival at the end of June. Aren't they cute?

Marc and I have been married for four years. We’re living our version of “the good life” in Oklahoma City. Our plan is to travel, travel, travel except when we have to do that pesky thing called work. Not a problem. We can dream about travel when we work.
