The Countdown to Jamaica

Alrighty folks, I see my ticker today says I have 4 days left until I leave for my belated honeymoon. 6 years belated. I am so ready. I think the only thing that has spared my kids lives this week is the fact they are going to my mother in laws on Friday!! They are driving from Alabama to Atlanta to meet us and get the kiddos. We are flying out of Atlanta, it was cheaper this way and it makes the kid swap easier. It is only a 3 hour trip for the inlaws and a 4 hour trip for us. We come home on Thanksgiving night and will have to drive 3 hours to my inlaws and we are staying there for the rest of the weekend.

I read over on Lori's page that she likes to send and recieve Christmas cards. Oh I do too, I love just the variation of them all so if you would like to exchange addresses for Christmas cards you can email me Kristifuqua@hotmail.com


I will be posting pictures when I get back. I hope you all have a Happy Turkey Day

Good Morning Bloggers

I am thinking that today is Dr. John's famous marathon, so I will give you all a little something new to read.

Well my hubby is home from sea, after 80 days with very limited communication, he is home. He actually got home on Oct 28th, so he has been home for a short while but we have been really busy since then. It was nice to have him here for Halloween and my birthday which was the 3rd.

Today I want to take the chance to plug a book that helped my marriage, both my husband and I have read it after Quilldancer suggested it in one of my posts. The book is called the Five Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman if anyone out there needs a little boost in their marriage this is the book to read. I bought my husband and myself a copy and he took his underway with him while he was gone. He shared it with 5 other men, so Quilldancer, I want to thank you for suggesting it, because this is the book that got us over our hump. I now understand my husbands language and I was not speaking it right nor was he mine. But by you suggesting it, and us sharing it with friends and family, you have helped them too. My deepest thanks to you. Usually by this point with him being home from sea, we are not getting a long and the newness had worn off but things are so different this time, there was no newness and we are going smoothly, sure their will be bumps along the way but this is nothing like it was before. Usually I would be ready to chop his head off.

I hope that some of you will pick up a copy of this book if you have never read it, you do not have to have marriage problems, it is wonderful for enriching what you already have. I feel that is what it has really done for me.

Last but not least, my counter is getting closer and closer to us going to Jamaica, we leave next Saturday. We are going this Friday to see Ralphie May from Last Comic Standing, that is our date night. I can't wait. But even more I can't wait for Jamaica!!!
