So this last week, I was away from my husband and daughter for a whole week. I went on a cruise with a friend of mine. It was beautiful there! I loved being on the cruise ship, on the sea! Just relaxing and looking over at the sea and watching the waves!!! Now if THAT isn’t relaxing, I don’t know what is. I will show you some of my favorite views from the cruise!


Okay. So…to be honest, though…The day I left, I was kind of already regretting leaving my family. I missed them both tremendously. I still enjoyed the cruise as much as I could, but literally, every minute, I was wishing I was with my husband. I wanted to be back home with my husband and daughter rather than on a cruise. I know a week isn’t a super long time, but when you’re away from your husband and 18 month old daughter, a week is a LIFETIME! I missed them every second. I even wished that I could have jumped off the ship and swam back to be with them! I mean, how silly is that, right?!


Who would want to leave a cruise with a beautiful view!? Even if your family wasn’t with you. I may be weird, but I wanted to leave the cruise to be with my family. I still got to message my husband, and video-chat a little bit. The signal wasn’t that great but we got what we could. I video-chatted with our little girl too, only she got fussy after we got off, so I didn’t want to video-chat too much, that way my husband wouldn’t have to try to calm her down.
On a positive note though, being away from each other for that week, has made us even closer to each other. I hated being away from him was TORTURE, if you know what I mean! Not literal torture, because I haven’t been literally tortured, but it was pretty horrible being away from Brandon for that long! And our little girl! I was so happy to be back home! With my family!!
Never take your family for granted. My family means the world to me, and I don’t know what I would do without them! They have been there for me through so much! My little family and my immediate family, but in this blog, I’m talking about my husband and daughter! I am so thankful for them!
We have been going through some rough times, financially, but we are getting better! π The first couple years of marriage are always the hardest, financially. But we are getting past it! We are getting past the worst of it! We still have some more things to pay off but we are getting closer! I am so thankful for Brandon! I love looking over at him playing with our little girl, and I just automatically smile so big! I love seeing them together and seeing her big smile!! She has this thing that she does, she will look at you, or look at a book, and just open her beautiful blue eyes as big as she can! It is the cutest thing!

God has been so good to us! Never take your family for granted! Thank you for reading my blog! Hope you all have a wonderful week!
