2016 so far

It's been quite a year. December of '15 we went on our first Disney cruise. AWESOME! Between them and Princess, they are our favorite lines. It didn't hurt that we got to see Star Wars: Force Awakens the night before it premiered. YEAH! Then, in February, we went with a great friend of ours for a long weekend at Disneyland (CA). It's always fun to travel with friends. Then, we hit the trifecta with going to Disney World (FL) in May. Go Mickey for taking our money! LOL
After that, I thought we were done. But, hubby decided to take some friends up on their offer to go on an Alaskan cruise in August. What a trip. We had so much fun and met some great people. The scenery, of course, was gorgeous. Hubby talked about having a summer home in either Washington or Alaska because the weather was nice compared to hot as hell Texas. We can dream, right?

Now, our dynamic has changed because hubby is working a different schedule. It's an adjustment but you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

The holidays are just around the corner and for once, we aren't traveling to see everyone. My sister is coming to see us for Thanksgiving weekend and a good friend and her son are visiting for a week right before Christmas. So we won't be lonely. In fact, it's very sad but we've had our Christmas tree up since November 6 because of the change in our schedule. As my friend told me, Happy HallowThanksMas.

I'm still working on becoming a better sewer/quilter. I've made a couple of small projects and right now, I'm working on two big ones. A Christmas one, that I have to totally rethink because I ordered my fabric online and got a background color that just won't work, and a Disney Princess (imagine that) one, that so far, looks really good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be my first big, good looking quilt instead of just a table topper.

Ten more days (11/27/16) marks FOUR years of being cancer free! I can't believe it! I feel very fortunate to have been given the chances that I have received.

I hope everyone is healthy and happy. Sorry about the rambling, nobody ever said I was the best of writers HA!

Live, love, laugh!
