Check up on Julie, Gerry and Jack

About Us August 1, 2007

All of you know us, so we’ll write this as a refresher! :) Julie is from St. Louis, Gerry is from Upton, Wirral, England, and Jack was born in Miami. Julie and Gerry met in 1996 at Cunard Line in New York. Julie was in PR, Gerry was in Marine Ops. He thought she was a pain. How sad! In 1997, Julie left the New York office and went to work on board Royal Viking Sun as the editor of the daily program. One day, Gerry showed up to work on the bridge. He was there a short time and they didn’t socialize. In fact, Gerry doesn’t remember Julie being there! Again, very sad. In 1998, Cunard moved to Miami and Gerry left the sea once again to go work in the office. Julie came to Miami in 2000 to work in the office as well, and they became casual friends. Through the launch of QM2 they worked closely together and became better friends. Gerry became single, and in March 2004 they began to date. From there, well, you know the rest. New house, incredible wedding, Julie becomes a step-mom to two fabulous boys (Michael and Jonathan,) Ella (our beloved doggie) and then Jack – the most amazing baby ever. A lot can happen in three years!

    Your story is so romantic and I love reading about it again. I can’t believe it’s been only 3 years. I’m so thankful to have Jack and Ella is a very lucky doggie.

    Hi, I’m lucky enough to be the Ellis grandad and have enjoyed every minute of Julie and Gerry’s time together, especially when they were genius enough to produce Jack – he is the most alert little fellow you could meet and, of course, he is even more handsome than his father, who, by the way, isn’t from Liverpool at all. He was born in Upton, Wirral ! and has never lived in Liverpool in his life.
    Sorry Julie, just had to put that straight.

    Hi Al! Just wanted to be sure you knew your son saw this and never said anything about not being from Liverpool! hahahaha! I will change it right now :)

    I think it is so funny Gerry thought you were a pain! :) I like hearing your stories and daily blogs!

    I’m sure Michael thought you were a pain too :)

    Have you ever thought of making that story into a movie? I think it would make a great chick flick. But whatever you do… do NOT get Ashton Kutcher involved, he struggles with the simplest of roles, and I think an attempt at a portrayal of a man such as Gerard Ellis would be a bit out of his league.
    Anyway, I got side-tracked… What I was really writing to ask was where your fabulous new step-sons come into this story? As I can’t find a lengthy and compliment filled decription of us anywhere.

    Ofcourse, I’m only kidding. But I must say how happy I am that Dad did notice you eventually and we now have a rather marvelous step ‘mom’. Hope you are all well and I hope to see you all soon!
