The Love Boat

Well it has been an unbelievable past couple of days in terms of doing some final planning for the cruise. We have made a few trips to Kohl's and Wal-Mart and probably have a few left to go. Last minute preparations and confirmations. And then we found that Elliott outgrew the suit that we bought him before he ever wore it. That was another Kohl's trip. But it is fun and we are excited.

What is really exciting is the group of people we are going with. All from our church and we all get along so well. No worries about personalities or hurt feelings. We can talk about plans as a giant group, smaller groups, families, or even individuals without worrying about stepping on toes. In fact, our biggest challenge is trying to figure out the nighttime dinner seating so we can all hear each other. So that is cool and we feel blessed and are thrilled to be going. Months of planning is only a few days away.

On top of that, I have been contacted by some former co-workers with job offers that I have to consider - when we get back! So things are rolling along.

A&E got their report cards. Elliott got straight A's (as usual) and Ashleigh went up in a few subjects and is now ranked #11 in her class of 469. Not bad. And they are busy with church, plays, sports, etc. etc.

Basketball tonight but I am going to take it easy. I don't intend to spend the next week on crutches.

Don't forget that we got word that one of Ell's games has been rescheduled, so he will only be missing 3 while we are away. I will make sure he gets on the court with Alex and Lauren and Jillian and Tyler while we are at sea so he keeps his momentum.
