Since this is The Adventures of Chandi blog I will keep the review to what we have experienced together. Looking back over this past year I have to say it holds very fond memories; some that I hope to never forget and a few that I wish I could! Let's re-cap...the interactive part of this blog is that you can fill in the blanks if you happened to be on one of the Adventures with us! January 27, 2006- Chels and I moved in together! We should have known what a good year it was going to be when the move was an Adventure in and of itself. To make a long hilarious story short; the movers had to move us along with our furniture!
