Hello family and friends! Welcome to Chapter Two in the Book of Grand Adventures!
For those of you who aren't aware, Davin, Scott, and I will be going on a Grand Family Adventure this summer (July/August 2014). Davin and I will be gone for two months, and Scott will join us smack dab in the middle for 3.3 weeks. Sadly, Scott the youngster has certain horrible responsibilities that we two older folks don't have: a 9-5 job working for monsters called Bosses, and college. Davin and Kristin find it best to avoid monsters, and Kristin says "been there, Aced that" to college. So, boohoo for Scott, but soon he'll be old like us and in a few years we'll be able to take care of his monsters too. Those will be days to look forward to!
Now, Scott and I will be newly wedded as of June 21, 2014. So you might jump to the conclusion that this trip has something to do with our honeymoon. ... Well, don't! ... No one should bring their brother along on their honeymoon. Eww. Nope. This is just a family trip!!
If you really must know, though it's really none of your business, Scott and I have decided to postpone our honeymoon indefinitely as we are not yet ready to be parents. "What?", I hear you all asking. Don't you guys know that that is what a honeymoon is originally for? (Did you miss the reference to 'moon' with its symbolic meaning of fertility etc?) Sure the traditional purpose of honeymoons is no longer the main purpose we observe today, but the historian in me does not find that much fun at all. Besides, I don't need an excuse (like marriage) to permit me to take an elaborate trip (did you miss the last blog?). So, no honeymoon til Scott and I are ready to give birth to the ULTIMATE PET 9 months afterwards. Now you know. Consider yourself informed.
I don't expect I'll be back here to write again until the Grand Adventure begins (July 1, 2014). However, if you are an ally of House Tenhunen or House Jensen, you should keep an eye on the formation of House Tenjensen.
P.S. You can all look forward to the ULTIMATE PET blog, which is coming soon in 201X! Right after that honeymoon.
