"Prepare Every Needful Thing"

For 2013, we chose the scripture in D&C 88:119 as our annual theme: "Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God; That your incomings may be in the name of the Lord; that your outgoings may be in the name of the Lord..."

What does it take to build such a house?! We're going to work hard to find out this year.

Rhapsody of the Seas - Day Two

We spent this day at sea. It was very windy and the water was choppy making a turbulent and bumpy ride. We didn't see a lot of family this day because they were hiding in their rooms drugged with dramamine trying to adjust. Jonny and I were fortunate that we didn't succumb to any nausea. All were pretty well adjusted by the evening in time for "formal night". Walking in high heels was an experience as the boat rocked to and fro. We took some nice family pictures. We tried taking a glamorous photo out by the railing with the sea and the settting sun but the wind was so strong that it was definitely not glamorous.

Throughout the week, we met each evening in the main formal dining room where we could eat together as a family. The remainder of the meals we ate buffet style at the Windjammer Cafe. The food was decadent and beautiful. To counter-act how much we ate, Jonny and I opted to climb stairs instead of using the elevators during the whole cruise. This is quite a feat when you consider how often we traveled between the 4th, 7th, 9th, and 11th floors.



(Notice how Steve moved up a step.)
