Episode 22: White Water Rafting and Stuff

Jetsetting:

Honey's vacation, bought a pop up and renovated it, 2 year anniversary with my Honey with a dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse, presents for my airplane and a new video camera! Crazy work schedule. Camping with Boutrosbabe of www.thefiberistafiles.com and her hubby.  Then we went WHITEWATER RAFTING! OH YEA! Huge scary thing for me, but I ended up loving it!  See the link(photo) below to see all the pics.
