woo - hoo ! can you say "vacation" ? for real, though!

as a general rule, we don't take enough vacation. me, specifically, yes, but also my family, most people i know, and Americans in general. i'm convinced this is true - and since everyone knows i'm right most of the time, it must be true. (did i use too many commas in that sentence?)

my wife knows the above is true also (as i think most wives do) - and not because i told her. ;) so, she's decided to take me on my "dream vacation" as my early 10th wedding anniversary present. for months, i knew i was going on vacation, but didn't know where. i'm pretty sure everyone else that knows her knew where we were going (because she gets too excited to keep absolute secrets - it's cute) but she was able to keep it from me. so, in case you were in the dark too, here's our trip...

early this morning, we went to breakfast at melissa's parents' house. after we ate, she surprised me with an envelope that informed me that we were going to the Flathead Valley area of Montana !!! how cool is that ?!? so cool, that, in fact, it's kewl even. eh?

here's me thinking about a million things at once - but mostly thinking, "wow, we're going on vacation. in montana. for real!"

so, again, if you care, come on back and check our pics and posts. we'll leave the light on for ya. :)
