Our Trip to Florida

We were able to spring loose from the demands of work and school to take a necessary vacation to Clearwater, Florida. The weather was beautiful and the dolphins and sea life were breathtaking!

Here we are at an aquarium standing by a painted turtle! Wearing "sneakers!"


We ate at a restaurant right on the water and watched the dolphins play, it was an amazing sight!


We can't WAIT to go back! :)

Fishing with Dad

Carter's Dad came out for a wonderful visit! The two Caugh men ventured out many a morning in the wee hours to catch some fish at nearby lakes and ponds!




One morning Jeff Kartheiser, Dad, Carter, and Susan went fishing and caught a bunch of catfish and blue gill!




Carter's big catch of the day.......

Even though Susan was bought a nice Shakespeare "Ugly Stick" in pink, she still couldn't touch the fish after being smacked in the face by a catfish trying to get off her fish hook!



All in all, it was a great day of fishing and catching!



Great supper that night too!





We took Dad to Beale Street and had a "bluesy" time at BB King's!


Snapped this shot while Dad was at rest among nature in our back yard with his new hunting chair!


We had a wonderful visit and hope that Memphis will be a frequent vacation spot for the Caugh family!

Graduation!

Well...it is finally that time! Susan will be graduating in the middle of August. Yippee!! No more papers, presentations, or theses to write!




School has been quite an adventure and Susan is ready to have a normal life again! (Normal? What's that?) Carter has been more than patient and understanding these last two years as Susan has been stressed, anxious, panicked, and sleep deprived throughout the whole process! They are both looking forward to some semblance of normalcy!

Thank you to all who have been supportive and encouraging. Susan often thinks about going for her PhD....nah!!!
