On Nov. 12, 2007 Richard and I decided to babysit Lexi, A.J. and Avery instead of go to the Marine Corps Ball. We both figured we will have plenty of them to go to once we are both stationed in Camp Lejeune. So instead we played Twister, Candy Land and Chutes N' Ladders. It was a wise choice on both of our parts. We had so much fun.... Here are the pics to prove it.

My turn to play!! I think Richard won!
Now for the great stuff....
On Nov. 16, 2007 Richard found out he made HM3. This is one achievement to celebrate. Not only did he do this on his first time taking the test but he got HM3 within a matter of being in just over a year. Most people take this test three to four times before making it and have been in over two years. He is soon to be frock'ed (which means eligible to wear the third class rating). The date to be determined. I will defiantly keep you posted on this one because, Richard is more than just deserving on this.

Now for me... I have been in a new job just shy of a month and let me tell you, it is great. I love it so much. I am now working on the Multi-Service Ward in the hospital. We do everything from post operative, post delivery, baby care and elderly care. It is just so good to be able to work with patients again. Not to mention I get to work with some of the Cubans that decided to stay when the gates were officially closing. They have so much knowledge and history to share. I love while I am taking care of them, they tell me their stories. It makes the day go by faster and I learn things that you won't learn by reading any book.

Thanksgiving came and went. Richard and I had to work. So we made up Thanksgiving on the following Saturday. We made a huge dinner and shared it with everyone in our barracks. I wished I would have remember to take pictures, but I was so excited about all the food I made I forgot.
Richard and I this whole month had the same days off so we did lots of fun stuff together. Mostly just hung out with one another but it was still fun anyway.

Well until next time. I wish you all the best.
