Cruise!

Oh my goodness, a cruise was just what the doctor ordered.  I had so much fun on the cruise!  We were on the ship the Grandeur of the Seas and it was awesome.  It had a rock climbing wall, a casino, a spa, a theater, a couple of pools.  It was great!  My favorite part?  Dinner!  You have no idea how great dinner was.  We had the best table. Our waiter was great and the food was AMAZING!!!!! I can express how much fun dinner was.  It was made up of a basically a bunch of parents and their graduating girls.  We had me and my parents, the Jilek's (mom, dad, Amanda (college grad), and Lauren (high school grad)), and the Wallace's (mom, Leslie (college grad) and their cousin.  And the funny thing, we were all from Idaho, Iowa, and Ohio.  What are the odds that all of us would be from the states that everyone gets confused about!  It was a really fun trip though!  This picture makes it look like we are all one big happy family, and by the end it felt like we were!  It was fun!

It's Official!!!!
