Hey Rhonda, we made it home

Hey, girl. We made it home from the coast. We had such a fun time. That Oasis hotel is really a lot of fun with the lazy river pool and the other pools. I enjoyed our shopping trip. Dinner was great too. John and your hubby get along really great. Hope he meant it when he said he wants us to come and stay one weekend and hang out because John is planning it already LOL. The boys got along good too. Next time we need to get together somewhere they can be as silly as they want. Mine were more silly than usual because they were worn completely out. Next time we buy our own sf ice cream at the store where we can see the container and know what we are eating. I eat sf or no sugar added ice cream all the time and it never makes me sick but that we got at the mall had my tummy feeling really bad. I was making sure I knew exactly where all restrooms were wherever I was because it had me running after a little while. Anyway, I am glad we got to see each other and spend some time together. It was fun. Our bash in October should really be fun too. We will have Christine with us too to keep us entertained. She is so crazy and fun. Bye, Melissa

I am beginning to get a little jealous of that relationship!! Yall didnt really have fun did you? huh, Please say no... Just kidding, I am glad yall had a good time. Rhonda, you can borrow her from time to time but not too often, okay? I dont share well... haha

Thank you Christine, and I hope she lets me borrow you also. Now it's your turn to come down and shop and eat with me! I enjoy both of your company and would love it if you both came down for a weekend! Start throwing all your change in a jar so you can come down and gamble with us! Rhonda

Hey Melissa, We really enjoyed ya'll's company as well. We meant every word of what we said about you guys coming and spending a weekend with us. It would be a blast. Just remember we don't live in the Ritz, just in military housing, nothing fancy, but the rent is free. Dinner was a blast, I thought the boys behaved pretty well considering their ages. And your daughter is so adorable and sweet, she gave me a big hug when I told her bye. She would have a ball here, we have a playground in our front yard practically. The boys could walk down to the back bay and fi**** is so close. We could take the boat out if it is still summer, and let them tube or kneeboard. Thanks for helping me pick out a dress for the cruise, I think it is going to be great. That is what we all need to do, start planning and saving for a Spring Cruise. I think that would be a blast! If we got a big enough group together, our cruise would be cheaper! We will be gone Sep 3-8, and then my sister and brother in law will be here the weekend we get back 9-11, but any other time, if we don't have any plans, ya'll come on over! I am looking forward to the October Bash too. Don't forget, I want some of your secret recipes.. Talk to you soon! Rhonda

Awww man... and you got MY hug from Catherine. My my my... no more of those trips for Melissa... Nope just cant let her do it. Did she try to feed you cheetos, too? That would throw me over the top!! She might give you some of her secret recipes if I would give her book back. I might need to put them in the car now while I am thinking about it. I am all up for a Spring Cruise. Want me to check on rates? Are we doing a family thing or just adults? Thurs - Sun?
