The Greatest Ship Ever Built

This past week, I left Brianne for the first time ever. Yes, it was really hard, but the reason I left was to attend my National Sales Meeting on the Oasis of the Seas. So while I missed her like crazy, I was distracted by getting to see first hand the most incredible cruise ship in the world. Those of us at Royal Caribbean have been anticipating the arrival of Oasis for years now, so it is still a little unreal that she is here. Words cant even describe all the wonders on this ship. The 3 days I was gone was not nearly enough time to see everything, so I think we will be booking our vacation on the Oasis sooner rather than later!

While I was gone, Marty was supposed to watch the baby all by himself. He ended up getting a lot of help (and I mean a lot), and probably saw Brianne less than when I am home. My mom came over Monday night and Wednesday night, picking the baby up from day care and then watching her until she put her to bed (Marty had meetings). She even made him dinner. Then on Tuesday night, Marty should have had some daddy-daughter time, but was fortunate enough to have his wonderful sister, Casey, come and help so he could go for a run. Lucky dog. We are definitely lucky to have so much support around us!

When I got home, Brianne was super excited to see me, which was such a nice feeling. I thought she'd for sure forget who I was after not seeing me for a few days. I had a great time exploring the Oasis, but I missed my little family and am so glad to be back!

Here is the view from my balcony on Oasis. I had a room on the Boardwalk, and this is the back of the ship. That's the Aquatheater, an outdoor amphitheater where they will perform shows.


Here is me and my team at our awards night. I didn't win any awards, but my managers Tricia and Kevin did - go team!

Here is Brianne spending some time with Grandma Mimi while I was gone. I'm sure she had a great time, but I can tell she is missing me :o)
