Well it's been a minute but so much has been going on in our family....
We are so happy to announce our son's engagement to his girlfriend Nichole! We couldn't be happier!
Our big secret 
We will never forget this cruise
Our hearts are full of joy to welcome this wonderful young lady into our family. I can remember the first time I prayed for Steve’s wife. It was the first full day we were home from the hospital. I remember sitting on the couch in NYC with my tiny cute little baby and I prayed Psalms 1 over his life and almost as an afterthought I prayed that one day God would send him the right person to marry. That seemed almost crazy that morning because he was so little & new. Over the years I’d pray that again & again. Well that prayer has been answered! We are so blessed to be able to announce their engagement
First night of the cruise
She said yes
Aren't they so sweet??? We are so happy for them!
And we are honored to have been there with them for their moment along with some of their friends.
He proposed the first night which was great! I couldn't hardly wait LOL
The next day we visited Nassau Bahamas
Our family has a knack for bringing a hurricane to Nassau!
It was pouring but we didn't care!
First we visited the old fort!
Then the Queen's staircase
The Gang
Then we went to Atlantis and tried the slot machines LOL Don't worry we each just played $1
We seldom do shore excursion through the ship it is just too expensive. I know they tell people not to do it on your own but.... we've always had great experiences. I think Mr Noel Daley was the best guide we have ever had in the Bahamas. His van was so nice and clean with great AC and plastic covered seats. He is a very nice man. So if you are going to Nassau I'd recommend him! his number there is 242-421-1501 and his taxi # is 283 He only charges $35 but make sure to give him a good tip! Tell him Yvonne sent you!!
Later it cleared up LOL
But I have to share this story...
November 2019 we took a family cruise to the Bahamas. At that time our family was facing some situations that had me extremely concerned. Our ship stayed in Nassau overnight. The next morning I got up early & went to the upper deck to take pictures & pray/think about things. I’ve always loved lighthouses, I love what they represent. That morning I just did not see how some things would work out but I prayed that God would work them all out for my children & our family. Fast forward almost 2 years & everything I prayed about that morning has been resolved & has made a 180 degree turnaround going in the right direction! Thank you Jesus! I went up there as we were leaving & I sincerely in my heart thanked God for His help & for the wonderful things that have happened since then!!! What was nice was I had my new daughter in law to be sitting beside me! God is good!
We ate alot!
Jon & love to go off the beaten path. So the day we stopped at Princess Cay the private island, we went and did a nature tour
the whole crew!
My favorite daughter in law to be!!!
so sweet
we asked Jon what he was thinking....he said he was wondering what would be for supper LOL
We missed Shad so much but he just couldn't take the time off of his job as an officer yet. He's hoping to take a few days off next month but his schedule had just changed so it made it harder for him to go. He will be Steve's best man which makes me so happy! Jon will be doing part of the service and I'm sure I'll be doing my part in bawling because I love seeing how God has worked in y family!!
