We made it!

Today is a very special day for us...Rick's last day of employment and the start of our life as full time cruisers! It is exciting and we both have butterflies :) Today is the day we have been dreaming of and preparing for...as much as that is possible. We feel blessed and fortunate to embark on our new adventures on Orion...also a little bit unsure of how things will go...but hey...such is life and we love it :).

Just in time to celebrate our next chapter in life our new wedding rings arrived! They were lovingly handcrafted by Shawn and Leigh of Maple Bear Jewelry in California...titanium...crater hammered...they are wonderful and remind us of the moon glimmering on the open sea!
