OH HAPPY DAY!!!

Life lately has handed me and my cute family a lot of lemons and while I have tried to make lemonade it hasn't been the easiest.  Alan has been working a lot...like every single day.  I am so thankful for a husband that works so hard for our little family so I can stay home but I really like to spend time with my husband.  In this past year we have gone from working with each other to most nights maybe getting an hour or two with each other.  Wednesday was our 11th wedding anniversary and we had decided that this year we weren't going to do anything because we just wanted to stay home and enjoy our little family.  Well that didn't work out Alan ended up having to do something else and I was feeling a little down because of it.  So I decided to get online and reply to some emails when I noticed that Fox 13 and Morris Murdock Travel had sent me an e-mail.  I opened it to see that I had won a 7 day cruise for 2.  At first I thought that it was a junk e-mail but as I kept reading I began to realize it was the real deal.  I replied back to that email and within minutes someone from Fox 13 called me.  The next day I was able to go meet with a travel agent at Morris Murdock Travel to schedule our trip!!!  My not so great anniversary turned out to be great!!!!  Alan and I are so very excited to go on this trip.  We can't wait to have some one on one time with one another...it is way overdue.  I am a little nervous to leave my kids especially little Ella but Alan and I need this.  I can't seem to stop smiling.  Thankfully I have an amazing sister who is willing to take time off work to watch my kids.  I don't know what I'd do without you Sandy, so THANKS.  Can't wait for December and to have my husband around for 8 whole days!!!
