HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY

You have been a true blessing in my life and I thank God for you! You are an awesome husband and father and an amazing person as well!

I LOVE YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART AND SOUL!

INTERNATIONAL NIGHT UNDER THE STARS

I.N.U.T.S

It was a beautiful night at Camp Johnson for our 2nd anual INUTS.
Each school picked a country and decorated their tent. We chose Japan and had the best decorated tent thanks to Janine and Combat Camera. Each tent had catered food from their country. The Greek food was my favorite.
Rik and Janine under the awesome Turi that was made for us by the folks at Combat Camera.
Debbie personally folded a ton of oragami cranes using Marine Corps themed paper. These two were huge and hung from the center of our tent.

Janine enjoying some Orion beer from Japan. We also had plum wine which was quite strong. I may have gotten a little tipsy.
I don't think he was drinking but our designated driver sure looks drunk to me.
This gorgeous man was with me. Love you baby!
Joan, Jaye, Donna and company doing some crazy dance move. I gracefully bailed out because I had no clue and they all looked a little silly.
Finally, they brought out the cake. We had such an awesome time and hopefully someone will invite us next year (Janine) since we will no longer be at Camp Johnson.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY HHB!

Me and my Honey. Thanks for such an awesome night Baby!
YAMWW HHB!

Jim and I actually danced to quite a few fast songs this year. He does not like to dance to the fast songs usually but we were having so much fun he decided to loosen up a little. The funny thing is that at home he is a complete goof and dances around the house with no worries. It was nice to see him so relaxed!

Of course, we danced every slow dance!

Jim and I attended the 23rd annual memorial service to honor the 241 Marines, Sailors and Soldiers killed in Beirut on October 23, 1983. They were there on a peace keeping mission and were killed by a terrorist attack. The memorial that was constructed is very moving. I forgot my camera but will post some pictures soon. The majority of those killed were stationed here at Camp Lejeune so it had a devastating impact on the city of Jacksonville. This was not my first time attending this ceremony but it still saddened and moved me. I know that it is only by the grace of God that I have my husband. I also know that if he were to give his life in service to this nation I would want him to be remembered. Our military and their families sacrifice daily to serve our country and deserve our nations gratitude and rememberance. So please take a moment to remember all that have given the ultimate sacrifice in service to their nation.

GOD BLESS and SEMPER FIDELIS!!

(always faithful)
