Life as a Marine Wife: Picture Story

I wanted to show my love to our Marine Corps Life by providing our Marine Corps Birthday Ball pictures! Fun huh?

The Marine Corps Ball is the Milspouse's "Prom". We get to be all dolled up once a year (almost) every year!

Pictures starting with the most recent:
2010 (FYI: The reason why he's not wearing his medals and ribbons is because he was presenting theColors during the ceremony)

2007

2006

The reasons that I do not have 2008 is because I was PREGO and emotional and did NOT want a ball pic! 2009 I lived in Oregon while he was in Japan so I didn't go to a ball :(

OUR UNION!
He was a Marine when we got married he just didn't want to wear his Dress Blues!

New Blog Design

If you are a regular follower of mine you may notice that I have been slowing "Revamping" the design of my blog. The more I am learning about design the more fun I am having personalizing my blog. Please bare with me while I make my blog more fabulous! I am actually having a lot of fun playing with my 30 day free trial of Adobe Illustrator!

Friday Review & Giveaway

Alright my fabulous followers! I have a Review and Giveaway of a great product that fits perfectly into my "Fashion/Beauty Fridays" posts! So mark your calendars and don't forget! I will be giving out a hint on Thursday!

I am very excited to be able to do this and to share this wonderful product that I received from the company.

A Long Night

First of all, we are not used to the Superbowl being on so late in the evening. I appreciated living on the West Coast during Superbowl. We let DS stay up late (until about 9:00pm) he did okay, but it just threw me all off schedule. I had to leave our friends (neighbors) 30 minutes early to go take my Accounting quiz, which I passed, YAY! Took DS with me and laid him down.


Hubby got home from our friends around 10:00pm (I think, it could have been earlier). Poor DS either had a bad dream or had a nasty fever because he woke up crying and completely soaked in sweat around the time Daddy got home. Daddy went to comfort him and then took DS into our bed. NOTE: We never have DS sleep with us nowadays in our bed because, well he never sleeps. DS just thinks it's a big party and jumps around, lays on us, talks, etc... Anyways, to my surprise when I went to bed both off them were PASSED out. I then took DS back into his room to sleep. I laid him down and shut the door. I crawled back into my bed and fell asleep. Next thing I know I hear DS crying again, just about 30 minutes later. I had locked our cat in his room and she woke him up! AHH. I comforted DS and he was just so upset. I thought, well maybe I will bring him in our bed and he will fall asleep like he did with hubby. NOPE! It's midnight and he's chit chatting to himself, singing, and then starts jumping around. OMG. I put him in his room, all the while DS is so upset at me. He FINALLY falls asleep seconds after I lay him down and did not hear a peep from him until the morning! 
 






Good thing for coffee!



Oh What a NIGHT!


gDiapers on Babysteals!

Once again Babysteals found a way to win me over! My weakness for cloth diapers is on SALE! Well, I haven't bought any, but that's just because I really shouldn't buy anymore. That doesn't mean you can't :)



They have a LARGE size 6 Pack of Vanilla diapers left. They would still need inserts but they are for an AMAZING price of $49.98.

Hurry on over before they completely sell out!

Blog Hopping Sunday

So, I don't have much to post today. My brain is tired from staying up late last night with friends "watching" the big UFC fight. Note that I am not much into fighting. More of just girl talk my my friend while the HUBBYs actually watch the fight!

Today is SUPERBOWL Sunday. Again, going to hang out with friends. Probably the only time I will watch it is during half time! Can't wait for the Black Eyed Peas. LOVE Fergie!

Anyways, join in on the fun if you want. I like the chance to find fun new blogs!



Thank you The Thrifty Military Wife for graciously hosting this hop!
