Sister Cruise

My amazing sisters, plus my parents, went on a 5 day glorious cruise. I think we all realized this was a once in a lifetime experience for us. We all left our families, jobs, and workload behind and got the extreme luxury of just enjoying ourselves and each other! We didn't have to do laundry, clean our rooms, deal with children, work, grocery shopping, cooking or cleaning. We stayed up late if we wanted, we went to bed early cause we could, we napped when we got tired, we ate anything we wanted, and laughed till we cried. It seriously was an amazing trip!

I loved every minute I spent with these 6 sisters, and my parents! I got to see some of my sisters in a way I don't usually get to see them...without kids, without work, without all the demands on their time, and their church callings. We are so different. Seriously. Yet, I adore each one of them for who they are. Many times in my life, these woman are my life line.  The person I can call when I need someone to cheer me on, to laugh at my stupidness, to comfort me when I am discouraged, and to care about me. I can't imagine my life, or our family, without each one of them. How lucky I am to be a part of this group!

Napping after every meal

Sitting in the bed and just talking about life with my sisters!

I was 21 weeks pregnant on this trip. I often got suggestions on what to call this little guy.  And regardless of what we choose, I have a sneaky suspicion he'll get called Vlad a few times because of a magician that came to our table our first night at dinner.
