We had the most wonderful time on our cruise from Carnival to the Bahamas from Baltimore.  We also requested an interpreter since it was recommended by several people.  We are so glad we had Kristin.  There are so many accents on that ship!  I did meet one father that had a daughter with one implant from Cochlear. I offered to share my interpreter but his daughter doesn't know sign language at all :(

Here are some of our favorite photos from the cruise :)

I finally tied the knot to my best friend I met 8 years ago thru an CART reporter in college.  If it weren't for Fran, my transcriber - I would have never met Tom who can understand my frustrations, challenges, and goals in my life.  Tom also has a hearing loss whom wears bilateral hearing aids.

Our wedding day couldn't be more perfect. We had the perfect weather and everything went off without a hitch.  But we were both SO sick with bronchitis the week before the wedding.  We weren't so sure if we were going to make our honeymoon or not. I got better the day before the wedding and my husband, Tom got better the morning of the wedding!

We had a fabulous wedding photographer that I found thru a really nice lady who I still haven't met to this day. Her name is Abbie. She mentored me over two years ago when I was in the process of getting an CI.  She got married last year and her photos were exactly what I wanted for my album. Cindy Dyer is a photographer and graphic artist for Hearing Loss magazine that is by HLAA.

Cindy did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I couldn't be more pleased! Here is a few photos from my family and our photographer.

Woo-hoo!
