Well, we picked our cruise...

I'm so excited! We want to book by the end of July. We're leaving from Galveston, TX...so we can just drive down there. We'll probably spend a day or two in Galveston on the beaches and in the shops. Then, we're boarding the ship and heading out for 7 days to the Caribbean. Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Mexico here we come. :-) We're all excited. Mom is the only one who has ever been on a cruise before. She can't wait to go and we were looking at the boats and stuff last night and the rooms and I think it's going to be fun. They even have children activities on the boat that we can sign D up for, so she can go off and play with kids her own age, eat with them, and whatnot if we have something that we want to do that isn't very kid friendly. So, I thought that was pretty cool too. Mom and I both want to lose weight in the meantime, so that we can buy the dresses that we'd really like to wear for the cruise. Help us with our vacation budgeting so that we can book by the end of July and help us with our weight loss plans too, Abba. We want to go sometime in June, July or August of next year when Deidra and Jimmie are out of school for the summer. Mom would really like to go over the 4th of July.
