Upcoming Vacation!!

We will be leaving in less than a month!! YAY! We are getting really excited for our Western Caribbean Cruise Feb. 21st. Thanks to my Dad, Derek and I will be going on our very first cruise. It will be such a nice get away from all the stress of working 7 days and week and a sad, but nice time away from kids. I will miss them so much. We have never left Caleb like this before and I am sure he will be upset. Sydney will be OK since they will be with her favorite person EVER, my Mom. I think she will just be jealous. =] My Dad, his wife Kathy, her son Kyle and Derek and I will all be going on the cruise. We will be seeing Cozumel, Costa Maya, Belize City and Guatemala. And will enjoy Mayan Ruins, swimming in a waterfall, Rappelling, horseback riding, ATV rides through the jungle and so much more!! The ship alone is going to be super exciting for me. Also, we will be leaving from New Orleans during Marti Gras, so we can enjoy a bit of that too. I will let you know all about it when we return!!

As for REAL life....I am doing good. Working at JCPenney salon on the weekends is working out great. I love everyone that I work with and enjoy having time to act like an adult rather than a three year old ha ha. I have had several of my own clients come in, which is great. Plus I should be on the right track on building a clientele.

Derek is also doing well. He is very motivated going to the gym almost every day. He has been great on the weekends taking care of the house and kids. He is hoping to start fixing up our home soon and wants to get more involved in the church after reading the Left Behind series of books.
Sydney is doing alright. She is a very good and happy girl. She is struggling a bit in school at the moment, but we hope to fix that. She just talked me into coloring her hair purple! not all of it just highlights, but it's cute and yes it will wash out after a few washes =]. She is still very involved in Girl Scouts and loves it. She will be nine years old in March! I can't believe it!

Caleb just turned four earlier this month. We had a great party for him. He is still in preschool and enjoying it more and more as he gets older.

Well hope all is well with all of you!! I will keep in touch! Here's some random pics...
