"2nd of July"

This year we had to have fireworks on the 2nd of July.. So, we went to the same parking lot we did the first year we were here and watched them from there.. and we took the dogs.. Meko and Mia did really well..... until the fireworks started.. then the barking started..they were in the car, so they would not freak all the way out, so other then the barking, they did really well.

Americafest 2011

July 1st and 2nd we are having America Fest.here on Kadena... this is when we get to go on the flight line to see all the jets/planes and eat food AND see concerts.. this year 12 Stones (A rock group) and Jessie James (A country singer) are prefoming for us. We met Wonda and Ron Locklear there and Alex showed up. Both bands were good, but 12 Stones was a little loud for this old lady..

Happy 21st Anniversary !!!

~HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE~

Today is Lonnie and my 21 wedding anniversary !!

Today we had a great day.. went to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Went to dinner with Alex's mom and her friend and she took us to a place called Au Chic Parisien.. it is a Okianwan/French place and was very good.. We were the only ones in there. Some of the food was a little strange to me, but I tried everything (including the chicken liver) .. It was very funny because after they brought us that course, every time the next course was brought out, the chef would peek out to see our reaction to the food.. I saw him one time and gave him the "thumbs up" and he smiled. I had a wonderful day with my wonderful husband.. I love you more and more everyday and am so happy I get to grow old with you.. forever and ever <3

Onna Village For Snorkeling

Lonnie and I for the last four years have always tried to go snorkeling on our anniversary.. last year he was not here.. this year we went a day early because I have so much to do on Thurs. (our anniv) We asked Kayleigh and Alex if they wanted to go.. Alex is a scuba diver and has lived here for the past 18 years and knows a lot of places we can to.. although I don't dive, he did take us to a place to snorkel. It was great.. I got to hold a puffer fish, brittle starfish and a crab .. that Alex calls a "bear crab". There were so many fish to see it was great. Alex brought along his spear and caught a Trumpet Fish.. we brought it home, cooked and ate it.. and I have to say.. not to bad ! Today was a great day !!

Sinbad !!

Tonight Lonnie and I went to go see Sinbad perform his comedy act here on Kadena. Doors opened at 8pm, so we left the house about 8:10 thinking that would be plenty of time to get there and get a good seat.... Wrong.. by the time we got there, there was a line from one door to the other.. we did get pretty good seats though. His act started at 9pm and by the time we got out after meeting him and getting our picture taken.. it was 12:30am... His show was really funny ! At first, I don't think that Lonnie wanted to go, but now I think that he is glad he went.

CPT. Awesome....
