Guantanamo Bay Happings

September was the month to celebrate Hispanic Heritage. The Hispanic Heritage Association decided to have a semi-formal dinner. It was a lot of fun to be able to dress up and have a great time with friends. Richard was not able to go because he had to work that night. It just wasn't the same without him so I didn't stay very long. I had to go see him at work. I mean, he is really the only reason I like to dress up and look this good.



Richard got this picture before I left for the dinner.

Then came October. The only thing that happened in October was the Halloween Costume Party. Richard was Billy the Bullseye and I was Tina the Target. Richard hated his costume but he still wore it just for me. That is how I know he loves me. I thought on the other hand he looked handsome. You can see for yourself below.

The group we went out with.

Well the next big event was the horrible tropical storm that we have been enduring for the past week. It was so bad that Richard was stuck on Leeward for my birthday. It was too dangerous to have boats in the water to taxi people from one side of the island to the other side. The waves were the largest ones I have ever seen here. It was actually kind of scary. I wish I would have gotten some pictures to show you but I didn't want to be outside in this stuff. Like I said it was scary.

In the middle of all of this bad weather came my birthday. That is right my 28th birthday. Not much happened because Richard was stuck on the other side. So I really didn't feel like doing much but eating a twinkie as my birthday cake and drinking some milk. Today though Richard made up for it. He was able to come home and spend lots of time with me which was great. He also got me some fantastic gifts. He gave me an iron man watch, 2 cookbooks and some great Rachel Ray green pots and pans. I loved all my presents. It was so good to know that my boyfriend knows me so very well. I mean most girls wouldn't really like to get that type of stuff on their birthday but for me it was better than anything he could have gotten me.

Well that is all for now. I will keep you posted on what is new. Have fun and stay safe.
