Bon Voyage

I shouldn't be posting, I should be packing. Because I'm headed to Miami so I can board this...
Gunga is taking her 4 daughters on a cruise. Once I am with these people...
I know I will be so happy. Though we look terribly un-fun in the above picture, I can honestly say if there's one thing we know how to do it is laugh. (Laugh and intake an inordinate amount of cheese.) We will laugh until we cry. Eat until we have to unbutton the top button of our pants. And soak up the sunshine as we soak in our shared memories.

But at this moment, all I can think about is how much I am going to miss these people...

That and I'm thinking about the Titanic. Wish I wasn't, but I am.

We went on a cruise with my parents and our kids over a year ago. I thought about the Titantic a lot before we left, but the minute I walked onto that boat, I felt great and had a blast. Enjoy every minute and don't worry...God will watch over you and your little ones back at home. You'll come back refreshed and with a new sense of purpose. Enjoy!!

Have so so so much fun. these are the trips you will remember forever. I was going to try and talk you into driving miss lulu to wichita to hang out with Havi, but Miami does sound like a lot more fun. don't underestimate sunscreen the first couple days!

emily said...

Mama Mimi said...

LOL the first time I went on a cruise (ok, ok...the ONLY time)...I walked on for the first time and said, "IT LOOKS LIKE THE TITANIC!" My hubby just laughed.
HAVE FUN!!!

You don't have to think about the Titanic anymore. Now you can just think about rogue waves. I'm so helpful. But then again, what are sisters for?! :)
