It's nice having the distinction of being your first poster. I have been thinking of you also. There are some really great deals on cruises to Alaska. My ds really want to take a cruise. I think it will have to wait though. I am saving for a European vacation in two years. We are having a family renunion and hopefully my cousin's wedding.
I am afraid the real socializing will have to wait until after school is done and I can give up my glamorous job in retail.
Oh I think I missed Jack's bday this year. I do think I remember when yours is because I think it is the same as my neice. Mine is today. (well right now in our time zone it is tommorrow).
