We feel so blessed!! My hubby called me the other day and said to look at my email … He had sent me a link to a contest that he entered months back. When I opened it up it was a picture of a huge cruise ship! I was perplexed…. he began to tell me that he WON this contest for a 7-day Eastern Caribbean cruise next month! I still cannot believe it! So now of course a million things go thru my head …. whose gonna watch our daughter?? …. what clothes am I gonna take – gosh do I even have anything to wear??? ….. what all do I need to take?…. how much $$$ will we have to take? …. do we need passports, will we get them in time?…. SO many things run thru your head in the midst of ALL the excitement and anticipation of being on a cruise ship – all you can eat FOOD – the gorgeous amenities – all the ports we will stop at …. Ahhhhh… the luscious white sandy beaches, umbrella drink in hand, TROPICAL TROPICAL TROPICAL …….laying out reading a book, the quietness, peacefulness, and God’s amazing beauty!!!!Blissful! We can’t wait! Need I say anymore …………?

Oh yes – one more important thing! THANK YOU to our close, awesome friends that will be taking care of Maddie for 4 of the days, and my in-laws who will come down from Pinetop to watch her the 2nd half of our trip. Without them, this would not be possible for Jamie and I. We are truly thankful and blessed by such wonderful, amazing, devoted family in our lives! We love you!!!!! PS You might just get a little surprise from us, straight from the Islands.

Jamie Kristen Kevin Maddie

Jamie and I met on Match.com in 2001! ... yes!... a success story online! We married in May 2002, had our house built in Gilbert, moved in July 2002. Kevin, my son, at the time was 7 yrs old was so excited to live in a neighborhood where he could ride his bike to school and met some great friends on our street. The best part for him was having a swimming pool in our own backyard. Many fun birthdays took place there! Madison Grace was born June 7, 2004. Kevin had been an only child for 10 yrs ... so this was a bit of an adjustment, but one he was super proud of, and it was instant love at first sight with his little sister, Maddie. She looks up to her big brother in so many ways, and wants to be wherever he's at! Even though they are 10 yrs apart - I truly believe there will continue to be a very close bond with them, even as they get older. My kids are both compassionate, sensitive, funny, loving, and content. We are truly blessed. Jamie has taken the roll of step-dad, and dad very well and is a great, devoted, hard-working dad and husband! He keeps us all inline! :) God has blessed us in so many ways, and we have so many wonderful friends whom we call "family". It all started when we found Rock Point church! It's a place we call home and are SO thankful for what God is doing in our life and the lives of our closest friends! He is amazing and we can't imagine our life without the Lord as the center! You want joy? You want peace that passes all understanding? You want eternal life? You want unconditional love that cannot be explained? It can be found in a relationship with Jesus!!! :)
