Christmas Party 2022 was a success! Tomorrow is rest time! 😜 Final harvest of the season…these make me miss my grandma and Fred so much. She loved the oranges I grew every year…said they were the best she ever ate. Fred made the mistake many years ago of telling my hard headed self you can’t grow oranges in Texas. 😆 November 26: so thankful today for all these beautiful humans, and the ones I haven’t gotten pictures with yet, and how they touch my life. I am blessed to have family far and wide. November 25: grateful today for a nap and quiet time soaking up a little more time with these sweet hardworking people I don’t get to see very often. I treasure it so ❤️ Few things onboard make me happier than time with crew family and time in Eden’s piano bar. He was on fire tonight. I smiled and laughed until my cheeks hurt. ❤️ November 24: thankful today for SLEEP. I’ve slept more than I’ve been awake the last 24 hours. Those who know me know what a blessed gift that is. Thankful my body has eased into this whole relaxing thing finally. November 23: thankful for one of God’s most beautiful places. ❤️ November 21: thankful for this passion I have for traveling that was unlocked so long ago and the ability to indulge it. Boarded a ship today to spend Thanksgiving with family I chose - my Carnival crew family. It’s gonna be a good week! ❤️ Thanksgiving tradition - started long ago - is traveling this week. This year I am solo, only long enough to board, reuniting with so much crew family I know I won’t sleep tonight. I’ve celebrated the holiday with those that I love…now it’s time to do what I love most. Blue skies and old friends! So many hugs and happy smiles coming tomorrow that I literally cannot wait. Carnival Celebration family — I’m coming for ya!!! ❤️ November 19: thankful for time spent today with Tim’s family and an awesome new BBQ place to add to the list of restaurants we like! November 16th: thankful for one year with this man! A year ago today he came into my life and turned it right side up. He taught me that love is worth the risk of pain and loss. He epitomizes patience (cause he has a Texas sized amount of it!). We share a birthday and a sense of adventure that exhausts most people. What we have packed into a year is nothing short of amazing. We both know how very precious life is and how rare what we have found in each other is. We have a list of upcoming shenanigans longer than my arm and I am thankful everyday God opened my heart to receive this gift He gave me in Tim. ❤️ November 13: thankful for a day spent running fun errands and taking a breath before the crazy that is the upcoming week sets in. Work life balance is hard for me sometimes (ok all the time!) but God reminded me this weekend how important it is! ❤️ November 12: thankful for friends and family gathering for Friendsgiving today. ❤️ The challenge? Make the holiday stuffing the kids used to stand in front of the fridge fighting over - gluten free. The result? The left is GF and the right is normal. #nailedit November 11: thankful today for a reminder that God is always listening. ❤️
