Liberty cruise ship

                                                             Karen, Julie and Tony

  

Tony & Julie and Stacy and Dennis 

This was on our formal night in the Main Dining Room.  I love the they color matched each other.  Going with this group was so much fun.  I hope to stay friends with Stacy and Dennis.  They all live over at Lawton Okla so it's hard for me to make time and join them when they are hanging out.  

I really enjoyed being on the Liberty

Compared to last year this cruise was hands down the best!  Seemed like everyone was having a great time.  The workers was extremely nice and helpful.  Loved Marvin he was with the bar staff.  In fact we are Facebook friends! Which is super cool.      

I felt like the food was much better this trip. Entertainment was out of the world.  Loved the shows. I went to several game shows that Frankie hosted.  Loved Frankie as a cruise director.  He has energy and a great personality.  

 Stacy & Dennis, Turtle, me and Kathy and Tony. Julie took the photo.

 Me, Julie and Kathy!

Cruising with a group of people is the only way to go! I really enjoyed eating in the Main dining room so we could talk about how our day went.  

This was a perfect cruise! 

The Wrights wedding

 Julie and Tony

Kathy Kayla Shirley and me.

Julie and Tony got married on the beach at Galveston Texas September 4 2016.  I was so happy to get invited to such a wonderful event.  I've known Julie since middle school.  No matter what we have stayed in touch with each other.  

The wedding was awesome! Loved that her brother Jerome was the pastor for this beautiful and special occasion. 

Being in Galveston makes my heart happy.  I can feel the tension go out of my neck when I see the Gulf of Mexico.   

Aaron's 21st Birthday!

My middle son is growing up so fast! He is already 21 years old.  Makes this moma feel very old right about now.  We will go out to eat and enjoy being with the family.  Am so proud of the man he is becoming.  He is growing up and maturing. 

He was so cute when he was a baby! Aaron hated to get his picture taken so for him to be smiling is a small miracle for sure.

 

Making up my mind...grape salad or pinwheels?

So for  two weeks I have been wondering what I was going to take to our Mission Rally for church.  I had lots of ideals but none seemed like great ideals.  Everyone was suppose to stay with finger foods or so I thought.  Just because it's so darn hot (100 degrees).  I was going back and forth between grape salad or pinwheels.  Last night at church I seen the sign up sheet and then I was confused because lots of food on it that isn't what I considered to be finger foods.   Then this morning I looked for easy grape recipes and that's when I said to myself yep grape salad it will be.  There are several recipes for this but went with the one that had cool whip in it.  I love cool whip!
Eeveryone at church loved it! Win Win for me.

Logan 4th of July

Logan is sure growing up fast. I love how cute this photo turned out.

I love July 4 th!  I normally go to parade and down to the park to see art and crafts and the different vendors.  It's always a lot of fun.  My step mom only lives a few blocks from the park. So we always go up there to visit with everyone who stops by to say hello.  Great times.

Our small hometown really goes all out for July 4th.  So many people plan their school and family reunions around Marlow!s July celebration.  Going down to the park is fun with lots of visiting.

Going on a cruise!

Only 106 days till my next cruise! I am super excited.  Will leave out of Galveston Sept 5 th and return Sat 10th.  Will be returning to Cozumel and Progreso.  Yes I am anxious for it to be here.  I am not quite ready but getting close.

So far I have paid port parking
Made reservations at hotel for night before.
Put some money on my account on cruise ship.
Bought a huge piece of luggage.
Been buying a few clothes for trip. ( I also will utilize my SIL's closet)
Have my cruise folder ready with my Birth Certificate in it.

Things I still need to do!!

Change oil in car
Get with My cruise roomie and give her booking number and details to hotel.  (She is driving in from Alabama)
Finish making payments for trip
Buy a new book, pair of sunglasses, blingy flip flops, pair of high heels.

So I was dreaming Mr.C would go with me but he shot that ideal down.  At first my feelings was hurt but then I got over it.  In all honesty he would have hated every second of it.  Going with someone who loves cruising will be a blast.  In fact she is at plantium level.  So I will be getting her free perks as well. Win win situation.

Oh and guess what?  My long friend and her husband is going on this cruise and several couples that they know.  Looking forward to this cruise.
