The seaweed is always greener. . .
I can't remember if I've mentioned this before, so I'll go ahead and tell the whole story in case I haven't. Lawrence's parents are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, and they have decided that they would like to take a cruise with their family and closest friends, rather than have a party. They are also getting a chunk of money, so any family who can't afford to go can get subsidized through them, although that amount is limited, so ya know. Well, Lawrence wants me to go, but of course, I'm not family, so if I go, he has to pay for me. Not only does he have to pay for me, he has to pay for a separate cabin for me, as we're not married and this is polite Mormon folks, meaning a boy and a girl can't sleep in the same room together unless they're married. His parents are cool with me coming (according to Lawrence) and have specified that he and I can do whatever we want during the day, but would be expected to attend dinner and select other activities with the family, so I wouldn't even have to spend the entire time with his mother, um, I mean. . .his relatives. All this would occur in May, and it would be a five day cruise which includes Jamaica and two other places, although I can't recall what they are. Now, I'm trying really hard not to get too excited, because I know that Lawrence might not be able to afford to pay my way, and I sure as HELL can't afford to pay for myself, but I am failing miserably on the not getting excited arena. How awesome would going on a cruise be?!? I mean, SERIOUSLY! We'd sail out of Galveston on May 14th, which is Lawrence's birthday. I have also never been to Galveston, so bonus! Lawrence really wants me to go too, since even though it'll be his family, he'll be the only one without a significant other if I'm not there, and that would really suck. So, keep your fingers crossed, and be prepared to offer me a hanky to cry into if I don't get to go. The tropics! SWEET!
