McNutty Good – Honeymoon – Time!

I don’t think either of us thought we’d be standing on a glacier together when we first met!

We had such an amazing honeymoon filled with adventures and we would like to thank everyone who made that possible! Our honeyfund covered ALL our excursions! We got to do everything we wanted and I got to check off my bucket list item of riding on a real dog sled. Hanging out with the sled dogs and Alaskan husky puppies was pretty amazing. Here are all the photos with captions of our incredible honeymoon adventure!

Lions, Cheetahs, & Elephants….Oh My!

This was as far as I could zoom out with the lenses I had…what a magnificent (and terrifying) animal to be so near!

So, 3 weeks into the new job and I get an e-mail asking for volunteers on a project in Botswana, Africa. Without hesitation, I volunteered to go. I had a couple weeks to prep for the trip which included some safari clothing (of course), a Borrow Lenses rental of a Nikon 200-500mm lens and a backpack capable of carrying all my gear, a trip to REI for some portable water filtration and other supplies, and most importantly, a trip to the doctor for some rather painful vaccinations. I researched and planned everything as carefully as possible.

The First Adventure

Although this is a new blog, I’m going to have to backdate the first “real” post to Chris & I’s first real adventure together. I believe it came about when I decided to go skydiving for my 25th birthday. For those of you who don’t already know, I’m terrified of heights. Naturally, I figured this was the best way possible to conquer that fear once and for all. My BFF Cat immediately was interested in tagging along on my crazy plan, and somehow, between the two of us, we managed to coax Chris into joining us. If I recall correctly, he did try to back out several times after initially agreeing. I’m not sure any of us really knew what we had signed up for at this point.

Pulled into the parking lot – excited and nervous!
