7 Days & Counting

Next weekend, Jon and I will be boarding something like this:


Headed to places like this:


I haven't really had time to even think about this trip. We are going on a cruise with Jon's parents, siblings and their spouses. It will be a welcome break from the stress of our life. I don't know about the timing ... who wants to take a vacation in the middle of the holidays? I have so much to do.

I am looking forward to my parents arrival next week for Thanksgiving and then they are watching the kids when we leave on our trip.

So many things have happened in the last year .... but so many things to be thankful for. If you look outside yourself and appreciate the many blessings in your life than it seems to strengthen you through trials. I ramble but hope that this Thanksgiving holiday my family can appreciate the many blessings we have been given.
