I have the most amazing husband! Four days after Joseph's funeral I left for an eight day Western Caribbean Cruise. It was the kind of trip that people dream of and take perhaps once in their life. The timing and circumstances made it diffucult for me to be excited. I went with my sister Yolonda so we could complete a seminar required for a travel certification. Marshall stayed home with the boys. (One more reason I was not very excited.)
The cruise was wonderful. The MSC Orchestra is beautiful. The weather could not have been better. The ports were lovely; Key West, Cozumel, Grand Cayman & Cayo Levantado. Many times each day I wished Marshall were there to share an experience.
I arrived home about 7:30 PM Sunday and he met me at the airport. I was soooo excited to see him. He was even more excited to see me. He recounted the adventures of the week. Up each day to get the boys off to school before he left. Home in time to make dinner while helping with homework then off to karate or Scouts then home for showers and bed to be ready to start the day again. There was no down time or break! He spent the weekend cleaning the house, doing laundry and repairing and repainting our kitchen stools. He was worn out and glad to have me home! I was equally glad to have returned and we have both enjoyed a greater appreciation for each other for the last few days. That will be the last cruise I do without Marshall. He is just too amazing to leave behind!
Happy Birthday Scott!

i am so excited that you are now a blogger! keep up the great posts!
What!? How is it that you can leave the country with so little consideration of your daughters to even inform them of your absence? When I called and you weren't at home, I only assumed that you were still in the states. Silly me.
