Here we are at the port in Progresso, Mexico. Our five-day cruise (Cameron’s first cruise ever) on the Carnival Ecstasy was awesome. In fact, it was Cameron’s first experience of the ocean, which he loved … even if it was only Galveston. Caleb and Sierra were up at my parents’ place in Oklahoma all week.

The trip was also extra special because Tuesday, June 24, was Cameron’s, mine, as well as my father’s, birthday. [Yes, that's three generations of the same birthday] He really loved the iPod Nano we surprised him with at dinner that night. Great trip but we’re glad to be back home.

Now it’s preparing to begin the first day on my new job tomorrow. First order of business will be the weekly staff chapel. Then it’s off to lunch for June birthdays. An afternoon meeting at 2pm. I already have a direct phone line and email.

Did I mention I was uber excited?
