where has the time went

Have you ever gotten excited about something a year before it was set to happen and start preparing so enthusiastically that a few months beforehand you feel that you have done all that you can and back off only to realize that you are now only a couple short weeks from the event and freak out ? That is where I am now. I booked our families cruise months ago. Mike even yelled at me back then to wait on buying this and that. Well I waited and though I think we are pretty much where we need to be,I am now freaking out that we leave this month. More like in just over two weeks! I had it into perspective in that Mike and my (casual)anniversary trip was a month beforehand. Well now that trip is over and it was wonderful but now I am two weeks and two days from my dream family vacation ( I figured that since Cindy is 19 we better make this dream come true before our family either gets bigger( yes I mean marriage but no ( she says)she is not seeing anyone seriously until she graduates from nursing school) or one or more members go their separate ways:-( . Anyway, honestly, how can anyone, after twenty years, finally be preparing for their dream vacation and not be a bit nervous ? This vacation is so much different than any before. Anyway, I will stop short of boring you to tears with this but be forewarned, I plan to devote days of blog space to pictures when we get back. Well I best get back to doing things like printing luggage tags.
