Note This...

Life is sooo good!
We have settled in to the new house and I cannot believe we have been here over a year!
No big trips planned ... just a few little ones!
First of all our 2 year anniversary was last week so we will be celebrating with a trip to Fredricksburg! :-D

Second, Michael is going to Tanzania, AFRICA! Prayers for this mission trip coming this summer! More info to come!

Third, a family wedding in Tennessee in August!

So what have we been doing since the cruise you might ask?
Just living life! Day to day-week to week-month to month!

We went to the World Series and watched the Rangers play! 














We got lots of snow.... twice!!!! 
Snowman attempt number 2 turned out much better than last years attempt! 


 This is the new TCBY self serve yogurt in town.... my favorite! The first TCBY self serve yogurt ever!!!!
We did go on a small (work) trip to San Diego together! It was an awesome weekend! We visited the San Diego Zoo, The Midway,enjoyed some beautiful scenery and went to that fancy little diner from the show Diners Drive ins and Dives!

















We've been spending lots of time with family and friends.... what else?

We have enjoyed watching two good friends finally wed in April!



Two more engaged... 

Celebrated two years of marriage on May 23!













Like I said.... life couldn't be sweeter!
We thank the Lord every day for the blessings in our lives!

This year we decided a cruise would be our vacation! We planned this back 8 months ago... praying and hoping God would send no hurricanes our way! I think we went the one week there ended up being no tropical weather in the Caribbean! YAY GOD! :-D
So here are a few lovely pictures from our trip! We had such a great time.
First stop was universal studios in Orlando... and of course we had to visit the new Hogwarts castle!


















 Next stop was Port Canaveral to get a glimpse of THIS.....














The Freedom of the Seas.... our home for the next 7 days.
Of course we got a different animal to sleep with each night.....













First cruise port..... Cococay, Bahamas














Second stop......St. Thomas




















We went out on this little pirate boat to a small island in the middle of the ocean to swim with the little guys above!

Third stop..... St. Marteen. We took a jeep tour of the entire island stopping at 2 beaches and some shopping along the way!

































Next up was my 23rd birthday on our way home!









And last but not least.... HOME! :-D
We had a great time, but are definitely glad to be back on land that doesn't rock side to side!!!!


Although we'll never see anything as beautiful in God's creation as we did this day/night.....









































Nothing like knowing how awesome God is when you're out in the middle of the ocean ... nothing around but total darkness, but God let us see into His window!

So while my sweet husband is here.................

















I get to do this......




















So that when he comes here..........















We are going here.....



















































































We are so excited! Can't wait!!!!
