It&#8217;s a far cry from <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=6441\" >our 9th wedding anniversary celebration<\/a> ten years ago. That was a little nuts. Anyway, I&#8217;m looking forward to a fabulous year of traveling &#8212; now that Brian is finally fully vaccinated (best anniversary present ever) &#8212; starting with a trip to Jamaica in January.
