Navigate Graduation

Nick has been involved in our church's intern program this summer called Navigate. Last night, they had their graduation. It was quite the event. The setting was like the Emmy's. The gave out "Golden Glove" awards to the top boys and girls from the junior high and high school level. The winners even had to go up and give their acceptance speeches. The boys and girls were dressed up and I loved it! Nick wore nice pants, a dress shirt, and yes, a TIE! He hated every second of it, but I was basking. Here are some pics of the event.

Nick was not happy about having to wear a shirt and tie.

Early Christmas Present

I am so excited right now because Lance and I have decided to give each other an early Christmas present. Goodness NO! I am not pregnant! We have purchased cruise tickets. Neither one of us have ever been on a cruise so this is going to be awesome! Our cruise is on Royal Caribbean International. We are going with the Nealys so it is sure to be a fun trip. The trip is in October (hence the early Christmas) and we are flying to Barcelona, cruising to 3 ports in Italy (I can mark this off my bucket list), and 2 ports in France before heading back to Barcelona! It seems surreal that I am actually going to Spain, Italy, and France. There is lots to do: create a will, get passports, lose weight, decide what clothes to take, etc. I will probably buy a memory card for my camera just for this trip. I can't wait! 93 days and counting!
