Here we are in our formal wear Saturday night!

This is us at The Atlantis Resort in Nassau-- Holy cow batman, that place

is AWESOME! The water slides and mile long lazy river (with occassional rapids) were

so cool! One of the rides had you floating through a shark tank-- of course you were enclosed in plexiglass, but they were swimming around you!

Here's our boat-- the Majesty of the Seas! It's one of their oldest boats, but it had been refurbished recently and was in excellent shape. Hands down, the service was TOP NOTCH!

This is us on CocoCay, the cruise line's private island. We found a secluded part of the beach to hang out for the day-- the water was FANTASTIC, but I rediscovered my hatred of seaweed and the mushy stuff in the water.

SUCH A BLAST!

I'm back from my cruise and boy, did we have a blast! As we were waiting in line to check embark on Friday, I figured out that I hadn't seen Suzie in 3 years, Megan in 3 years and Elizabeth in 5 years... and really, the weekend easily proved that although time had past and life circumstances had taken their toll, our bond was certainly still there. We just picked up where we left off and caught up with each others lives.

One of the coolest things that happened over the weekend the time we spent individually with each other-- unintentionally, I had a chance to catch up with Suzie, Megan and Elizabeth all one on one, which was really incredible.

Here are some pictures of our trip! We all agreed that this would be an annual event!

He really does eat anything...

Spring has sprung around our house! Geoff and I finally got the patio planted today-- thank God! We had the boys outside with us as we were diggging (that "we" is a "we, Geoff" not a "we" "we"-- in case you were wondering!). Grayson cleverly pulled the BBQ burger flipper off the side of the grill and proceeded to "help" Daddy dig in the dirt... however, Grayson decided to throw the dirt on the concrete instead of the bucket where it belonged. We had DIRT EVERYWHERE! Grahamer is walking around, playing with whatever he sees, as usual. Then I turn around and start screaming as I see him put a nice hunk of Texas clay-like dirt in his mouth. Lovely. I wrench open his mouth and proceed to clean out his mouth my white t-shirt. My goodness... you'd think we don't feed this child! His latest thing is to get the gallon size ziploc of pretzels out of the pantry and throw it at me in the hopes of scoring a snack.

I'm 5 days away from my cruise! I'm so jazzed I can hardly stand it... the cruise itself will be fun, but I can't wait to see my girlfriends-- all of which I haven't seen in 3+ years! It's going to be awesome!

Geoff and I are really into Dave Ramsey lately! We are on fire to get the van and my school loan paid off asap and be debt free! We're hoping to be without a car payment by the end of the summer/early fall. We've both read his book "The Total Money Makeover"-- I totally recommend it. See the link above for more details!

Anywho... that's the latest with us! It's officially Mother's Day, so Happy Mom's Day to all of you!

Word to your mother,
