Jason and I don't have a lot of money. Even less now that we had Lucy and I went to working part time. We literally live pay check to pay check. That being said we are about to venture on a first for both of us. We're taking a cruise through the Caribbean with the following people:
Karmon & Adam
Uncle Rick
Crystal
Marshall
Brian & Jennifer
Josh & Molly
Uncle Rodney, Aunt Lisa & Jessica
Aunt Debbie & Randi
Shari & Shawn
Sara
Amy
Amanda & Austin
Uncle Allen
Carrie
Angela
And a few others that are friends of Karmon & Adams that I don't know all too well...
It's going to be a great group of people all out for the same thing, a good time!
The only reason we are able to take this trip is because we've been saving for 2 years. Literally. I put $100 per paycheck into my Credit Union account to put towards the cruise. It's hard to believe the sail date is just around the corner. Two years really did fly by quickly.
I'm so glad that we were able to make it happen. I am paying my mom to live at my house for the week we're gone, so the kids will be in GREAT hands and will have their own beds, rooms, toys, and routines! I am so thankful to my mom for doing this for me. It's going to be hard enough leaving all three of them behind, so knowing they'll be with Me Me makes it all the more easier!
My sister picks up the kids from me Friday at 4:30 and they will spend the night with her and meet up with my mom sometime Saturday! Jason's dad is picking us up at our house Saturday morning at 4:15 AM to take us to the airport. We fly out at 6:30am. We have a four hour layover in Atlanta, Georgia (another first for me!!) then we arrive in Florida to spend the night (again another first for me). Sunday we get to board the ship hours before anyone else since Karmon and Adam are getting married at 1:00 on the top of the ship in the chapel! I'm the photographer!!! SUPER excited for their big day!
We sail Sunday the 7th through Sunday the 14th! We will have three stops along the way, in St. Thomas, St. Marteen and CoCo Cay, Bahamas. Finally we will arrive back at KCI at 5:30pm Sunday night! I know we will LOVE LOVE LOVE our get away together and just spending quality time kid free, I will be SOOOO glad to see my babies when we get back!
I'm so ready mentally, but I've still got to keep packing and doing laundry and cleaning house for mom! Eventually I'll be ready, hopefully by Friday night!! Tonight I get to go get my toes done with one of my closest and longest friends, so to me it's a mini vacation before the real deal!
