Brief Reprieve


I am getting too brief of a reprieve here in the US for the event of my niece, Erica's, wedding. As you can see, she is absolutely beautiful! We had so much fun running non-stop for a week getting ready for the big day. She had a dessert buffet, so I think we are all needing to go off sugar after the reception (not that I had any time to try out all of the goodies with all of the running around we did. Anyway, I hear that there are quite a few new things done onboard while I've been gone, such as the cookers being placed in the crew galley, the floors completed in the crew lounge, crew galley, and laundry room. I will put up some pics when I get back to the UK in a few days. Can't wait to see all the changes! For those of you praying for my mom, her surgery went well. Thanks for your emails and prayers. It was important and special that I was able to be with her during that time. Keep checking back here. I hope that as our time gets closer to the ship being deployed, I have more pics to put up on my blog! Feel free to email me if you have any questions (not that I have any answers!

Alberta,
I was just wondering why you were in the US for a little while (i remembered you were flying through ATL) but didn't know why. Now I do! I hope this has been a nice little break from the ship/ywam and that you are being refreshed in God's presence and in the presence of family. Keep me posted. Im praying for you!

Alberta,

Thought you might like to know a former classmate has visited your blog. I also have a site here at Blogger at izzlebug.blogspot.com, if you would like to take a quick peek. Not a big deal but a lot of fun.

I am so impressed with the paths your life has taken to get you where you are today. Congratulations and best of everything in all of you rfuture endeavors.

You will be missed at the reunion.
