A Year In The Making

WE have talked about going out with the Luke’s for over a year now. Terri finally made it happen. It was just the best night!!! The food at Milagros was just amazing! Terri, you picked out a great place to eat!!!

We got to hear all about the Luke’s trip to Bora Bora. Preston's job gave him a specific amount of travel money that could ONLY be used for a trip as a special bonus . HOW THE HELL CAN WE GET A JOB LIKE THAT!!??!! Rachel being the coolest girl wanted to go somewhere completely out of the ordinary, so she chose Bora Bora-how stinkin’ awesome is that!!! They had one of those rooms on stilts over the water, with room service and time alone. Okay not completely, because on the last day there, while at dinner, someone said “Rachael is that you?” Can you believe one of her old friends had just gotten there the day before?

The best part of their trip story was when it came time for the part about them swimming with the sharks. Rachel was in no way going to go in and was the last one on the boat. Somehow she talked herself into it and went in with the rest of the crazy people. The only thing between them and the sharks was a thin rope that the boat driver had laid on the water. He had given them strict instruction not to cross the rope. Like that’s going to stop a 1000lb shark with more teeth than all of us at the table put together from having one of them for lunch! Rachael made it perfectly clear that if it had came down to one of them living through it, it was going to be her and she had no problems feeding Preston to the sharks as long as it wasn’t her. They had us all laughing so hard!!! Even though we aren’t the ones out there exploring the world I’m so so happy someone we know is so we can explore it through their eyes!!!!

After dinner Rachel and Preston went to see The Help and we went to see Captain America. We had already seen The Help. We are hoping it doesn’t take us another whole year to do this again-it was such a fun fun night!
