vacation....

so we are going to take a vacation... i can't tell you how excited i am about this. it has been the coldest, longest winter, or so it seems. we have decided that seeing as michaela is going to be heading off to sunny places we should be able to also... she will be heading off on a cruise with a friends family and some other folks who are fond of boats. me - i like to have both my feet planted on the ground and if i am going to feel tipsy i am hoping it will be from some alcohol that i have consumed. a few emails back and forth and we decided that aruba is it. why not? it's sunny, it's warm, the beaches are beautiful, they have great food and you can even gamble if the spirit moves you. all i care about is shedding, coats and scarfs, and boots in favor of a pair of flip flops and shorts. just the thought of it lifts my mood....
