Cruise 2009!

OH. MY. GOODNESS.

Our cruise was SOOO FUN!!!!

I'm not ready to get back into the real world yet (we just got home late last night), so for now I'll just post some pictures and say that our friends Toni and Carl are the best...we were so blessed to take this trip with them! I thank God for this wonderful experience...I don't deserve it, but I am so grateful.

It looks AMAZING!! And you look so relaxed and fun in all these pictures. Sorry you had to come back to Indiana cold and snow.

Jeanine said...

What FUN!! I love the pictures! I am so glad you got to get away for some much deserved grown-up time! I can't wait to hear the stories that come out of this trip. :)
Yes, I did cut my hair! I chopped it short back in September. It is so much easier. A friend told me that it is the cheapest facelift I could have ever gotten...so I think I may hang on to this short 'do for a while!

We could not have been blessed with better company. Carl and I had a TOTAL BLAST with you and Big D. I'm beyond thrilled with the weather we were so blessed with in the Caribbean. PERFECTO! And I'm STILL trying to process it all, to take it all in even now, after the fact. It was such a great time and we're so glad you two were able to make the trip with us.

Sister, I'm exhausted. There were (get this) FIFTY standbys ahead of us on the list from MIA to Chicago. So we had to get creative (non-revving is all about thinking outside the box). We ended up taking an American flight to IND, then buying ZED fares on Continental (similar to an ID-90) to Cleveland. It was sooo strange to be home, yet be connecting in Indy to Cleveland. We didn't leave Cleveland yesterday until 4pm, so we're TOTALLY wiped out today. And uh,...I have sea legs. My computer chair is rocking as I type. But I'll gladly pay that price for having cruised with our dear friends Sniz and Big D. Love you guys.
~Toni~
p.s. I look bow-legged in that photo in front of the government house. Probably just trying to keep my footing with my "sea legs", lol.

Looks like you had a great time. I feel warmer just looking at those pictures in this land of snow!

Wani said...

I'm soooo jealous!!! Isaac does sound much more interested after talking to you guys at retreat. I'd love to find another couple to go with like you guys going w/ Toni & Carl. If Leah hadn't gotten herself knocked up I'd try to talk them into going with us!

Toni said...

Whaa??? Leah's knocked up? ;)
Blessings,
~Toni~

Great pics! Thanks for sharing (even if it makes us a little jealous)! So glad you had a good, safe time!

It is SO COOL to see the four of you whooping it up in some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and look at your joy and realize it all started with a couple of blog comments!!!! (BTW, ya'll look way too good in a swimsuit to be mommas and long-time wives. So not fair. I may have to quit liking you now - I would NOT have the bravery to post such a thing :) So glad you had such a wonderful time!

Mayhem And Miracles said...

PLEASE tell Toni 'HI' and 'Welcome Back!' My computer has not let me post on her comments for a while now! :(

Smiling Shelly said...

Welcome back! I'm glad you guys had such a wonderful time. These are beautiful pics. Can't wait to hear more about all the wild and crazy things you guys did - I know there are stories ;)

Great pictures! You all just look fantastic. So fun! Cozumel, right?

BTW, I just tagged you. Maybe that will help you get in the swing of things.

Laura said...

I am sooooooo jealous....so frigging jealous!

Julia Smith said...

So glad you had such a wonderful time! Which of course you deserve. Say it with me:
'I deserve that wonderful vacation.'

Thanks for all the fantastic photos. I love the second one of you and Toni by the stairs, and the second-last one of you and your husband with the life jackets on!

I am so thrilled for you guys!!! I know how much you hate the cold weather and this trip to warm weather during this time of year was truly a blessing for you I'm sure. :-)
What a way to refresh your mind and body. It must be awfully hard to get back into the swing of things after an amazing getaway like THAT!
Praise God!
