Work Party

I was asked out on a date...... to go to James' Christmas party for work. No prizes were won by us but did have a good night visiting with some friends. Couldn't decide which picture I liked best and thought it be fun to post a few:)

love the laughter

there is a flower peeking out from behind me

and can I just say how much fun I'm having borrowing clothes and jewelry and stuff from my ladies out here! This happens to be my dress but most of the jewels(and I realize you can't see most in these pictures) are borrowed.....and I have many things in my closet that are on loan. It's so fun being a woman!! :D

CPO in the house

Last week James stepped up the ladder a bit and got promoted. We are so happy for him!
We had our first Khaki Ball to go to over the weekend.

We had our pictures taken there. I think the cameraman actually got him to smile so can't wait to get those pictures and see! ;)

They had the newbies sing their favorite song Anchor's Aweigh.



You really felt a sense of kinship in the room as all stood and they sang with pride.

Happy Birthday!!!!

Yesterday was my husband's birthday......
Wow, I have so much to say that I can't, LOL!
So I'll just leave it at this, I'm so thankful that the Lord placed you in my life!!

I love you!

news

James came home today with a nice little(heavy)award. He is Sailor of the Quarter. Woo Hoo and Congratulations honey!


House news:
you may be getting these updates for the near future. We have found out that we won't be living here much longer so all of those half started projects have to get finished pronto!
I talked to 5 plumbers, had 3 come out and hired one. He starts on Monday, with what should be a 2 day project of installing our new tub. This little project was started months ago with James tearing out the old tub and surround and the end is finally in sight! Although much more $$$ than we had planned. I decided that we need to make sure that the boys especially are 'learned' in all kinds of house hold repair as they grow up so they can do it their selves and not shell out their hard earned money. Of course time is a factor too for us to hire someone but hey the more the children (and us) learn they better off they'll be.

Just an FYI. Make sure to hide the sugar. I didn't put it away today and the little guy decided to pull it off the counter and decorate the floor. I'm sure that made the ants happy, me not so much. Btw, the ants are back in cycle *sigh*

As far as our move goes we might be leaving as early as December(Mom and Dad as soon as this is fact I will call as it may change your plans?) Exciting and nerve racking........
Prayers for the whole moving process are welcome. Especially for the sale of our home.
