We have four short months left! We have picked the bridal party outfits. Have both of our outfits! Jessie didn't like any of the shoes so she decided to come home one day and just make them herself....glitter has filled the house! We should be going to view the boat soon to pick ceremony/reception rooms. Everything is starting to fall into place!

TJ and Jessie both have such huge hearts!! The 
world will probably explode when their hearts are
joined in marriage!! So, we want to be there to 
see that, LOL !! We love you both and we can't 
wait to share this very special moment with you 
two. Love, Tony, Miriam and Brandi

I believe I was casually cleaning a double barreled shotgun when T.J. first came to meet us. As was the usual interrogation, I mean conversation, I asked about his parole officer, his folks & his intentions concerning Jessica. All went well & such is now fond memories. Little did I realize just how much he & I have in common, which is a real good thing as far as I am concerned. I recently heard a rumor about T.J. looking at vest online, remarkably similar to the vest I usually wear. At the last minute he caught himself & quickly forgot the vest idea. T.J. also has memorized the magic number, 18.

One of my first memories of Jessica, age 5, was on a visit to my home, she proceeded to wet on my sofa. No big deal, in later years it would get worse. There is the time she drank too much red Kool-Aid then upchucked on my white carpet. Once on my birthday, she insisted on buying me a present with her own money. I took her to Wal-Mart & picked out a 5 gallon gas can. She placed the can on the counter to pay, then noticed I had some fruit I was waiting to buy when she finished. She insisted I add my fruit to her order, then later told Mary she had to buy presents & groceries for my birthday.

Cruise Critic is a great site to learn more about cruising and the forums are full of information

I recently took a trip to Galveston to check out some hotels. I went on a Monday around 11. It took over an hour and a half of waiting in line to board the ferry. Galveston has a prioity boarding pass for the locals there. I can only imagine how bad it would be around 8 am on a Monday. I HIGHLY suggest everyone staying in Galveston the night before. We must be at the terminal at 9 am. Anyone that is late will not be able to board with the group and will not be able to attend the wedding. 

As of last night we have 14 cabins booked and 34 people coming! TJ and I are overwhelemed with the amount of responses we have recieved. We love cruising and we know that you all will too! The entire group is located on the 7th floor. We are both excited to be able to meet both sides of the family and get to spend time with not only each other but all of you! We have a large group already signed up and more that haven't signed up yet. We want to thank everyone for the awersome responses and for everyone wanting to come witness TJ and I get married!
