It's Spring!

Hello returning readers. It's been awhile since our last post. You can catch up on some images of what we've been doing below. We're living with my parents in Laurens, SC for now while Daniel searches SC Jr. High and High Schools for a permanent histroy or social studies teaching postion. It's only 2.5 months until our wedding on June 9th at the beach. Spring has sprung here and we are enjoying having mini-hanami (flower viewing) with the almond and peach trees. The only bad thing that has happened has been a run in with some poison-ivy or poison oak whilst cleaning up the lawn. Daniel and I went for shots yesterday (fun! Oh, OK not really....fun that is). So we're on the mend.

Happy Easter from Brooke and Daniel in SC
