I get to go on my first ever cruise!!! Yay! My four older sisters have been planning on going on a cruise for the past year. My sister Nicole decided to go with her husband as a sort of anniversary present to themselves and opened it up to the rest of the sisters. One by one each of my sisters decided to go along with their husbands on the cruise. This past fall I tried to work it out so that I could go as well, but just couldn’t talk myself into spending that much money and didn’t want to get in the way with all my sisters and their husbands. So I told them that I couldn’t go. Ever since then it has been a sort of a running joke with all of us that whenever I’m around they’re not aloud to talk about the “c” word. Even though it never worked. My sisters have been so excited about this cruise for months now, and can’t help but talk about it. Our family hasn’t ever really gone on big vacations together.

Anyways back to the story. So last week my mom called me and was acting really weird. She said that she really needed to talk to me. I got so worried thinking that someone had been hurt or something bad had happened. But when i finally got her to tell me what was going on, it was nothing what I thought. She told me that my sisters and her had been talking and they all really wanted me to go on the cruise. They decided that they were together going to pitch in so that I could go on the cruise with them! I couldn’t believe it! Ahhh! I am so excited!

So in exactly three weeks I will be cruising the Caribbean with my four amazing sisters and brother-in-laws. I feel so completely honored by how much they sacrifice for me. I don’t think I could ever imagine being apart of a more amazing family. I am so blessed!
