Two years ago, Dirk and I took our very first week long vacation alone (after children). It was the first time we felt like we could go away and leave them that long.
Next week, we leave on our 3rd annual cruise! This time we are flying to San Diego for a couple of days before we leave for the Mexican Riviera (Acapulco, etc) for 8 glorious days! And here’s the cool thing…we’ve met some wonderful cruising friends from those past cruises! We look forward to spending time with them again this year.
If you ever get an opportunity, check out cruising for a great vacation value. It’s a blast!

Hi Robin-I just stumbled onto your blog providentially. I accidentally pressed Next Blog while checking out my brothers' blog and was thrilled to see an encouraging believer's blog and a homeschooler at that! I've been reading through your older blogs and they really blessed me.
ReplyDeleteI'm overwhelmed by how some of your blogs seem to echo the thoughts in my head so closely. They're so honest.
My husband has been deployed to Iraq for 9 months and i am at home with a 22 month old boy and a "future leader" (as you say) 5 year old girl that I've just begun officially home schooling. I often ask women who have been through deployments if they ever thought they were ruining their children. I'm glad you mentioned that you've had those thoughts and are now on the other side with grown children who "turned out." Thank you for the encouragement and the blessing! I will definetely be keeping up with your blog. Thank you! Anna Wilson
