A couple of weeks ago, Laurie (letumom) contacted me about a "maybe" thing, but she had to verify with her friend. Her and her friend have planned this Scrapbooking Cruise for almost a year now and two weeks ago, her friend found out she might not be able to make it. Instead of cancelling, Laurie contacted me about it. I told her I'd discuss it with my hubby and then if finalized, I'll have to let work know. Well, there was NO discussion with my hubby. He immediately told me "Do it. You should go. You NEED to go. You NEED this. You NEED to relex."
Well, she contacted me again on Friday, and she would get a definite YES or NO from her friend by this weekend. This morning, she called me up. Her friend, without a doubt, CANNOT make it. SO...with everything that is going on in my life right now, I will be going on a Scrapbooking Caribbean Cruise with Laurie in exactly THREE weeks! I will meet her in Houston and stay there, then we go out to Galveston on the 6th. We will be home on the 13th.
So, with that said, I'll need someone to post the Scrap-A-Day thread for me on April 5th thru the 14th. I come back on the 13th, but mine and my husband's 7th Wedding Anniversary is on the 14th. So I'll be taking that day off as well.
My mom will be down by then, so she can help DH with our furbabies, so they'll be in good hands.
I am SOOO excited! Laurie knows as well as you all know that I soooo need this. And a couple of ya'll cherries already know this, but my blood pressure has been so high in the past 2 1/2 months that my dr is putting me on blood pressure medicine and I have to take my blood pressure 3-5 times a week and keep a log. Which, IMO, isn't all too surprising since my father dropped a huge bombshell on us back in early January, along with stress from work, financial strain, some health issues with DH has arose, and worrying about my brother in law and his own recovery. It'll definetly be nice to just walk away from all the "problems" temporarily.
Awesome!! I hope you both have an amazing time. Love it!!

Brandy I am soooo happy for you (and not to mention jealous as well), and I agree with your DH. You have been through so much this year already, you totally NEED to go. We will all live vicariously through you and Laurie. I hope you post pictures as you can, otherwise we will all have to wait til you get home. And yes, I'm sure some will post your thread for you, if I see it hasn't been done by noon, I will make sure it gets done for you.
PLEASE...........forget everything at home, work and here, and just RELAX oh and of course have a wonderful time.

Hi. I don't post that often, but I just wanted to say I hope you have a great time and get a chance to relax.
That is so awesome!! I'm sure you both will have a fabulous time!!!
Hi everyone! Yes, we are going to have an awesome time! Three days at sea with nothing to do but scrap, plus meeting up with a whole new group of scrappers. I am still FB with some of the ladies that I met on my last cruise two years ago. We'll post photos as we board, and when we get off, but in between it will be a little hard, since internet is so expensive out at sea.

That awesome hope you enjoy your trip. That was awesome of your husband. To tell you to go that you needed it. You got one awesome guy in your life. He sounds a lot like my father. My father tells my mother go enjoy yourself with your friends. He hardly ever tells my mother no. Because he wants her to be happy and enjoy others things with her friends not just being with my dad all the time. My mother the same way with my father. I guess that why they've been married for so long. They don't stay mad with each other for long. I think it has to do with the fact. My dad loves his family and hates drama, lol.
OMGosh.. How nice for you and Laurie! I hope you have a wonderful time
