Yesterday we drove to Ocoee to go white water rafting. We rafted with Cherokee Rafting and they were great and if you are thinking of going I would recommend using them. The worst part of the trip was when on the bus ride from the rafting company to put in. I came very close to having to stick my head out the window and empty my tummy.
We did the middle river trip and not the full river, so no class five rapids just class four and lower. It really was a lot of fun and no one fell out of the raft. There were a few times when I thought I was gone for sure but ended up in the bottom of the raft and not the water.
We got the truck paid off Friday! Very exciting for us. Now to take care of all the wedding stuff.
We are going to Washington D.C. next month for fiveish days. I am really excited about the trip, but getting very nervous about my first flight. I know it is safer than driving, but I am still very nervous.
The next three weeks are going to suck. I will be working a lot and am very stressed out about it. I am doing my best to not think about it when I am not at work, but that does not seem to be working very well. I will make it one way or another.
I am trying to focus on September when we are going to DC for about a week. I have never been so I am quite excited about it. Anyone have any must see things while we are there? I am sure this will be one of time time that the extra memory card I accidentally order with my camera will come in handy.
The trip to DC will be the first time I have ever flown. I am nervous about flying. Safer that driving, and all that, I know. It is an irrational fear that I am going to have to try and control. I am seriously considering taking a sleeping pill as soon as I get on the plane and hope that I am asleep before take off. The only downside I see with that plan is that it will be a fairly short flight and I don’t think Mandy would have a lot of luck trying to carry me off the plane.
We are also going to head down the Ocoee river sometime this summer. It is looking like very late July or sometime in August. It seems to fall in the category of something I need to do at least once in my life. I think it will be a fun trip, even tho all the stories I hear involve people falling out of the boat and almost being killed. It is crazy that I lived that close to the river for almost twenty years and never went. I used to be such a shut in.
Just in case anyone missed it on flickr, MySpace, and Facebook. As of Saturday Mandy and I are now engaged!
