I am out and free for the summer tomorrow!
The kids are getting out the 24th...they should have gotten out last week but with all the snow we had, the summer got delayed
But it's finally here, vacation.....and I'm going on my Caribbean cruise on the 4th of July!
It was a birthday present from my parents...and I've never been on a cruise before! I'm going snorkeling with the turtles and other fish and swimming with the dolphins!
I'm all set! Just a little nervous about getting to the ship by plane (got to fly to Miami)and getting there on time(don't want to miss the ship)! But I have everything all planed out and I'm ready to start my summer! I have my underwater Nikon ready, too! I hope to get lots of underwater pics!
I will post everything when I get back.....Happy summer everyone!

Me Update
I do not want to bore anybody or harp on my woes anymore.....But these past couple of months have not been kind to me.....Nobody has a perfect life, and everybody has their own woes.....But for me it seems that things have come one after another.....It did start with Kevin's death....And I appreciate all the support I have gotten....It lifted me up.....But I have been living with pain on top of the emotional heartbreak....Oddly enough it happened shortly after Kevin's passing....Of course the body reacts differently to stress....My back and right hip started to give me trouble....I thought not much of it and thought it would pass.....But it did not and got progressively worse....To the point where I actually couldn't get out of bed and get dressed.....Went to the emergency room...Went to Docs....Final diagnosis is that I have spinal stenosis and some arthritis.....Why is it just so now bothering me.....Well some kind of major stressful event! The Docs wanted to know if I have been
Dreamscapes
Soo I got my tattoo, my tribute to Kevin as a way to try to mend and reconcile with his passing....And I don't want to harp on his death....I know people will get tired of hearing, tell me to move on....But my grief is still strong....Ohh I'm functioning and able to work and deal with life in general....But still I get pulled back to Kevin....Songs I hear....Sometimes the supermarket trip (just remembering of when we shopped together gets me)....And now he haunts me in my dreams.....I think he is trying to tell me to move on too.....My latest dream: I was in a place I loved when I was a child/teen....A cottage in Maine.....We vacationed there every summer....There was a bedroom with two beds in it....One by a window where you could get the smell of the ocean and a bed on the opposite side by the other wall....I always loved that room for some reason when my family went there in the summers....I always got a good vibe in there and chose to sleep there in the bed by the window...That
Recovering and On the Mend
It has been nearly Nearly 2 months since Kevin's death and burial. I have been working and getting on with life. I do miss him something awful, but the pain has lessened somewhat. Working with the kids has helped; family and friends being around has helped mend my broken heart. I have kept myself busy and trying to get back in to photography. It is Feb break and I'm on vacation for a week. I don't have too many immediate plans. But on the last day of my vacation, I am slated with a great tattoo artist, to get a tattoo in memory of Kevin. He liked sharks, soo I'm getting a tat of a shark design on my left back blade. It should be interesting. I have a tat on my lower left leg already....Soo this isn't something I haven't done before. But it has been 17 years....Ha ha....My second tattoo, a tribute to Kevin! I think it will help me in my grieving process and look nice. I will post later when I get it.
Devastated Update: It's All Over But the Memory
Kevin is truly gone....The wake was the 4th, funeral Mass was today. I was there from beginning until end for both of course....I am exhausted, drained, and numb (with relief and sadness)....It's all over, but for his memory.....I could "feel" Kevin with me the whole time....At the wake, where everybody was focused on the family of course, I did get some condolence and comfort (it was a woman I did not know who was asking uncle Johnny where Kevin's girlfriend was and I happened to be sitting quietly near by....As Johnny pointed at me I looked up and said that I am the girlfriend....My name is Thea....She hugged me and offered me comfort)....It was a "strange" feeling as I felt a little forgotten as the family is very "overwhelming"....But I was remembered....More surprise for me.....The family asked me to do a reading and I road in the Limo with them.....I have not been a part of the family while Kevin was a live (mostly due to Kevin)....But they seemed to really be trying to let me in
