We did it....
We booked a Disney Cruise! I am so excited. I have wanted to go for almost THREE years! (Thanks for all the help booking, Corinne.)
I decided we were going to go. It really is the perfect time for us. I can't go on the ship when I am over 24 weeks of pregnancy, Talia is three now and can go in the different child activity areas (as opposed to only the child care center), and if we wait until after the baby...I will have to wait THREE more years. See....perfect timing. Lincoln disagreed, and turned on his money saving mode. RUDE! He only goes into money saving mode when it is something I want to splurge on. =) We went back and forth about going for a week or more. Then last night Lincoln came home to an exhausted wife, and a naughty three year old. I asked him to go and check on Talia, and said the words "I am done with her!". After a minute I remembered he had just got off a long flight, and was probably starving. I went upstairs to trade places with him. I told him there was homemade soups downstairs (Chicken noodle from Monday, or Potato from Tuesday), but he wouldn't leave. He said "I just want to be with you," and then he made a sad face. I asked him what was wrong. He said he just had the scariest flight of his life. People were screaming! The plane dropped hard and fast, and all the drinks flew into the air. The plane was pushed violently from side to side by strong air currents. Lincoln thought, "if my wife was on this flight, she would be bawling." Lincoln used his blanket to clean up spilled soda on man on his row. He comforted an elderly lady next to him, and helped the man just across the aisle that was panicking. After he told me about the flight he said, "so I was thinking, let's go on that vacation."
Can I just say, the way he helped those people on the plane is TOTALLY like Lincoln. He is always willing to help others in need. I love this quality, and it is one of the reasons I fell in love with him.
We are going on the cruise right after Thanksgiving. I guess the bad news, is we aren't going to Utah for Christmas now. Lincoln won't have enough vacation days.
Just had to share! =)

Neato! Where will you be sailing to? I totally agree with you -- perfect timing. You've got to go now.
I'm glad I've never been on a plane with turbulence like that. I'd definitely be bawling.
I'm am so excited for you guys!! Sounds like it will be such a great vacation!
I'm so sorry tho that it had to be a horrible flight for Lincoln that cinched it - that sounded like the scariest plane ride. I know I would have been bawling and then I probably would have passed out! Good for him for staying calm and helping those around him, what a good guy!
How fun! A Disney cruise! I can't wait to see the pictures you take! :D
And...
how scarey for Lincoln. I'm glad he's ok and he was able to help the other people on the plane. Probably the only thing he wanted when he got home was to be with his family, ergo the vacation.
How exciting! I'm sure you will all have so much fun on the cruise! The kids are going to love it! I'm glad Lincoln made it home safely!
JERI!!!! YAY!!!! You guys are going to LOVE it. We did good, didn't we? I am SO THRILLED for you guys. Get a Mickey Mouse wakeup call on debarkation day for me :)
Congrats! I was totally planning that very trip, then we were going to go with the whole fam after my brother got home from his mission so we postponed planning, and now the whole darn thing is called off. Very miffed. I feel like I've missed a big opportunity with my older kids. I hope you have so much fun!!
Yay! I can't wait to hear all about your trip!! So glad you guys are going, and very glad that Lincoln made it home safe from that flight!
This is fabulous! I will have to live vicariously through you with your full cruise report! ...maybe one day we'll sail away under the stars too! Good thing you still got a hubby to go with...what a trooper!
Glad you finally got it booked! :) We can hang out for Christmas because we will be here too!
