we are home. home from our 4 day cruise around tropical storm hanna. i am so happy to be home. i missed my 3 handsome little men so much. i missed my bed and my house. but now, as i sit here blogging, i miss eating delicious meals made my someone else, brought to me by our fabulous waiter, sedrak. which were also cleaned up by someone else.
i guess that is one reason why we had cereal for dinner tonight!
we had a very relaxing time, which was so needed. this summer has been a very hard one for jason and i. it was good to be able to be with each other with no schedules pulling us in different directions. to get away from life. we slept a lot. and loved it! i read some of marley and me. got some sun. and we got to spend some time with our great friends: mike and erin denny and jessie and bekah boldin.
being on the sovereign of the seas with these guys made it more fun. something about being chased by a tropical storm with a major hurricane behind it makes it a little exciting too. the seas were rough the first night going out-i guess from gustav-then the last night on the way back from hanna. jason had to take all the hangers out of our closet b/c we were rocking so bad. it sounded like the ship was bouncing through 30 ft. waves. i am still swaying a bit. at times it seems like my house is floating! but worth it all. i am relaxed. ready to move forward with some energy. we want to go again. soon.

I’m glad that you and Jason were able to escape with us. We had a great time with you guys.
apparently, we did eat too much! my adorable nephew asked me today after church if i was having another baby because my belly looked big! i had to break the news that no new cousin was on the way. it was just the lobster bisque, scallop rissotto, ceasar salad, filet, sea bass, chocolate dessert, 4 rolls, and olive spread–and that was just 1 meal! can we say south beach this week or month?
jess, I can relate, i kept scanning our radar for cruise ships wondering if you guys were on any of them. We ran all the way to the southern most part of the Yucatan. It got rough for a couple of days. Glad to hear you guys got a little rest in. Miss you all a bunch. see you sunday!!
