Jamie and I are so incredibly thankful for the Cruise we were able to go on.  God was truly a part of this, as we know he orchestrated the whole thing ….and showed up in mighty ways while on the cruise!  The thing we are most thankful about is meeting 2 new fabulous couples … whom we now call our dear friends … just after 1 week on the ship together!   We all were seated together the very first night at dinner, and every evening there-after for the 8:30, second seating, dinner.   God was present, and humbling when you find out we each share a common bond… of being Christians and having a strong Faith!  We came together in prayer each night at the table before indulging in our great meals.  God, you are amazing…. your timing is perfect … and thank you for these couples you brought into our lives!  We know that we will always be in touch with them.  They are in our hearts, and we miss them!   Let me introduce to you ….

Hubby, Maddie, and I enjoyed a day at the lake on Wednesday.  It was our first boat trip out since late September.  It was awesome to be back out on the water!  BUT… that was just a “teaser” …. since we will be on a BIGGER boat come Sunday!!!  :)

On Saturday, Hubby and I will be flying to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, staying the night and Sunday boarding an Italian Cruise ship heading to the Eastern Caribbean!  We are SOOO excited for this 8 day excursion to the beautiful, exotic, turquoise waters of the Caribbean!  Can I mention … we are going ALONE… no kiddos to worry about!   :)   I’m not sure what the best part is …. going with no kids … or that this whole trip is FREE!!!!   Hmmmm…. probably both is best!   We board the ship (Costa Cruise Line) around 1pm on Sunday, we depart at 5pm.  We’ll be at sea all night and all day Monday.  Our first stop on Tuesday will be in Puerto Rico, from 5pm-midnight.  We’ll enjoy a little bit of the “nightlife” in Puerto Rico…. hope to find a little place to chill, relax and maybe enjoy some music.  The next day we’ll be in St. Thomas/St. John to enjoy ALL DAY at the beach and do some snorkeling at Trunk Bay.  (which I hear is the BEST beach in the world!)  Following that, we will stop in the Dominican Republic …. ANOTHER tropical beach day under the huge palm trees and my toes in the warm, white sand!   We simply cannot wait to enjoy each other’s company, laugh, be silly, be silent, sit on our private balcony of our stateroom, reflect, share, talk, have a few cocktails, and INDULGE in the wonderful, gourmet food on the ship…. day AND night!!! 

Bon Voyage my friends …. talk to you soon!   :)

With God ALL things are possible.

Meet our family

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!!! :)
