Ok so I know it has been a long time when I am writting about things that happened in May...my bad!!! Ok so Mark and I went on a cruise to the eastern carribean and it was so beautifull! We went to the bahamas, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico and Grand Turk. Grand Turk was somewhat of a dive due to damage from hurricanes that they have yet to recover from. The islands were beautifull and the time alone was much needed. We left out of Miami, which is somewhere I had never been before so that was fun to get to see as well. I knew that once we got home from the cruise that Mark would be leaving for 3 years within 6 weeks and that I was not ready for at all so I had a sense of sadness but we got through it.
Next, we went to Oregon....one of the most wonderfull places on this earth. The girls got to meet Marks family and we had so much fun! So many kids for them to get to play with! They still talk about hiking with Jeff and Julies family as well as rock band with Tami and their kids and then going to farmers market with Lauri and her kids. We didnt get to see much of Lisa and family because they were gone to a family reunion...next time for sure! We got to go and visit with Marks grandparents on his moms side as well, I just love them! My grandparents have been gone for so long and I miss them so much so to be around them is so great. They welcome you in as if you are family...makes me miss my grandparents alot. Then it was time to say goodbye to everyone and head back to boise and say our goodbyes to Mark. Thank you Barbers for making us feel so welcome, we had so much fun and cant wait to come and visit again next summer...we love you all!!! As I have learned in life goodbyes are hard and I really dont like them but I should be used to them by now cause we have them so often with mark. But for now on I think we will just say see you later. But we survived another tearfull see you soon and I cried the whole way back to Utah.
