21 days til' sunshine and rays!

So this week I got a lot done :) I got my business cards ordered and started getting a bit organized to go!  They are Marc and I updated our resumes and have been sending it out and about.. super exciting!!

I still have to figure out what to do with all of my STUFF.  I think that totes are the answer :) I am excited to start packing and get a little shopping done with my new stuff!! Just have to wait until pay day comes again haha!! Have to be smart and saaaave $$$

We have been getting to hang out with some family and friends.  I got to have a day date with my love Destany, we had a dinner and a movie! and just yesterday we got to go to Marc's sister Cricket's birthday party where we got to hang out with a lot of Marc's family.  It is really fun to see everyone, but it's a little sad looking at the little nieces and nephews and knowing that when we come back they will have grown up even more.  It's hard to leave the family and friends but just know we will be back! We are so lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives that care about us :)

I am looking forward to going to Florida so much, and signing up for crew jobs has just made it seem even more possible :) Our only downfall so far is Marc's jeep has been acting up so hopefully it won't cost too much to fix! We really don't need that right now.   Pretty soon we will be on our way and stopping and seeing all our friends and family on the way!!

2013: A New Year. A New Adventure :)

So, 2013 has finally rolled around.  I can't say that 2012 was a bad year for me.  It was probably one of the greatest years I've ever had: 

Marc and I did hike the Appalachian Trail and finished September 18, 2012. The blog was too hard to keep up with since internet service so too hard to keep up with.  We did most of our posts on trailjournals.com/danamarc (check em out if you want to see what we did!). Hiking the trail was the hardest, most challenging thing I have ever done.  Mentally and physically it pushed me every day.  Without Marc, I know I wouldn't have been able to do it. He pushed me, helped me, believed in me.  Because of him I "sucked it up" and kept on going until the very end!! I am proud to say I never gave up and made it to the top of Katahdin just a few steps behind him, just in time to see the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen.  I think about being on top of that mountain every day.  I never want to forget the way I felt that day.

 
The only picture that ever really mattered.

Which leads me back to 2013.  How could we ever top something so great as our adventure this past year? I don't think we could.  But we are definitely in for another adventure.  And this time, we are southbound.  We are moving to Florida :)

Our plan is to head down there on February 4th.  We have planned on stopping and visiting friends and family on the way down so we are excited for that.   I am hoping to keep up with the blog while we start our new journey.

Marc had worked on a private yacht as a Deckhand from 2011-2012, and got to spend time in the Bahamas, Florida and the Northeast.  To say the least, it sounded like a photographers dream and another great adventure that "we should do while we're young".  I am so excited to get down there and get certified so I can become a stewardess.

I know nothing can compete with the A.T., but I am ready to see what 2013 and our new Florida adventure will bring us.   I know it'll be a whole new experience and I am ready to be with Marc and to learn about yachting and see another part of this big world. 

The blog will be here if you'd like to keep up with us on our journey! Wish us luck,

Happy New Year :)
