Cruise 2010

Ahhhhhhhhh! What a week, what a week. Mark and I just returned from our cruise that went to Cozumel, Georgtown and Montego Bay. We went to bed late, got up late, ate, soaked in the sun, ate, then ate some more. It was rejuvenating to say the least, but we are slowly trying to find our way back into reality. That is hard to do when you have 3 little munchkins forcing you to pick right back up where you left off, so laundry, storytime and meal preparation are back in full force.
We had a great time with friends and family and came back with some funny stories to tell. Mark performed on the cruise ship 4 times. He did a fantastic job and picked up many fans along the way. I was even in the singing spirit and participated in karaoke. That was a sight to be seen or I should say heard. I didn't realize how nervous I would get standing up in front of so many people that I didn't know! I obviously have not been in front of a crowd in awhile.
Another great thing about our cruise is that I actually got to meet on of my favorite bloggers! I have been following MckMama for a while and her precious Baby Stellan, and what do you know?! She was on the same cruise with several of her fans. I probably came across looking like a crazy person when I introduced myself on one of the formal dinner nights, but she was so sweet to speak for a bit to one of the lowly, wanna be bloggers. :) I actually got to meet up with her and the other girls on the boat on a couple of occasions and we got to talk about cameras, picture taking and editing. I came back home with a lot of excitement and eagerness to pull out my big camera again. I'm so intimidated by it, I think it is time I learn some things so the camera doesn't end up being money wasted.
So, I we leave you all with some pictures, snapshots really because I was having more fun than remembering to take a picture. Hopefully soon, once my desktop computer is back up and running, I can post about Christmas and some newer pics of the kiddos!
