Greg and I cruised for a purpose! We left the kids with the grandparents and sailed away for the week. What a treasured week it was for the both of us. This cruise took away normal daily distractions of life. No cell phones, Internet, work, kids, meal prep, and house distractions. Although, we did HAVE to watch the Vikings lose, a heart wrenching loss, to the Sea Hawks. I’m still sad here, people! Anyways the point was we took time to work on our marriage. Keeping up with the oil changes in life trying to avoid the head gasket blow!

We enjoyed all the wonderful things about the cruise. The amazing port stops, great food, top-notch house keeping, and just good old plain relaxing! What made this cruise experience set apart from others was the conference we attended on board. We had amazing speakers who spoke truth with laughter in our lives. We could laugh together about how complicated I am as a woman and how simple, kid like Greg is as a man. We both learned things on how to serve each other as a couple. I have an amazing husband and this purpose vacation really highlighted that fact. I’m excited to enjoy another 12 ½+ years of marriage! I love enjoying life with my husband! God created us to be companions in this life together and I want to enjoy all the moments. The good, the bad, the great and the hard.
