This year for Thanksgiving we took Lily to Oklahoma to see Craig's family!  We had a fabulous time and Lily had a blast!

The 236th Marine Corps Birthday

Last night, Craig and I attended his unit's Marine Corps Birthday Ball. As many of you might not know, the Marine Corps Birthday is November 10th! Every year, every unit celebrates the Marine Corps birthday but either having a ball or a simple cake cutting ceremony. At DIA we had a cake cutting ceremony and Craig's unit had a traditional ball. Even when I was deployed, we had a cake cutting ceremony in the desert. Marines always find a way ;o).



I went and got my hair done for the ball.  This is how it looked from the front.

This is the back.  I was super pleased how it turned out.  It looks stunning!

This uniform is called the Evening Dress.  It is higher than the standard Dress Blues.  They are usually worn at black tie events and of course Marine Corps Birthday Balls.  I simply love it!

This is a full shot of the uniform.  Don't mind Craig's hand, he can't help it, it sticks out there! ;o)

1st Ultrasound

Today Craig and I went to our first ultrasound.  Hearing the baby's heartbeat for the first time was simply amazing!  The nurse said our baby is growing perfectly and is the size of a small gummy bear.  She also confirmed that I'm 8 weeks along and the due date is around the 9th of June. Perfect timing - right around Father's Day ;o)
