Sailing Take 2!

Well Back in April or May CJ took a sailing course, but when we went to do the water portion There was no wind at all! Well things went into full swing with power School and CJ did not have time for the class, But now that school is coming to an end he took the course, this time it was a perfectly windy day for it (a little chilly for me). CJ really liked being out on the water, maybe some day i will join him out there!

New Addition

Well we were not really looking for one, but we bought a second car! We were going to wait till we moved and had a little more income. All we did was look at an add in the paper and we found a vehicle that was in our exact price range, but then we test drove it and it was smoking after we drove a mile to the gas station. And it was going to be a deal now and then pay for it later!
What I didn't mention was that we test drove a Nissan pathfinder first. That was our first mistake, because we loved it!
It is a metallic blue (which means it Sparkles!), 3 rows of seats, a tow hitch, roof rack, and 4 wheel drive. It was a great deal for a 2008 with only 42,000 miles! It runs great and I love driving it and the dogs love having the space to stand and look out all the windows! They have already slobbered on the window.
It's going to be a vehicle that will last in the family and will fit most of our kids (when the time comes). I am glad we did this! Everything fell right into place!

One Year

One year ago today I had to say good bye to my husband as he went off to Navy Basic Boot Camp. It was probably the worst day I had experienced so far. MY mother in law, Grandma and I went and saw CJ sworn in and then we met him at the airport to say our final good byes! I cried of course, but then I sucked it up and kept my phone close by for CJ to call me every step of the way.
My first night home without him was hard and many tears were shed, especially when I finally got the call he made it there and that I would receive a box of his clothes. I lost it and cried myself to sleep. It was a crazy day and I am thankful now that we were able to get through it and we now have a great career to keep us afloat.

Now in 5 weeks I will be attending CJ's Power School graduation. This is the end to his second training school. I am so proud of him. He will probably be graduating with a 3.5 GPA which is pretty incredible! I have a smart husband. I love you PO3 Warren and I am so grateful to be your wife!
