Welcome Home Dave!

My Seabee Husband

We are going through an 8 month deployment (April-November). I have been posting pictures on my facebook account for Dave. Normally, I post pics of us on this blog but with his absence I have not been motivated to keep the site updated. Just wait til his return, the first picturse will be of his homecoming.....so check back in November!

Kite Flying, Animal Feeding, and Strawberry Picking

I bought Dave a kite for his birthday, and he flew it on the beach on the base where we live.

Lincoln military housing hosted this event at a local farm. We picked strawberries and fed the animals. Dave liked throwing the carrots to the animals instead of using the feeding tubes.

Seabee Ball, March 6, 2010, Reagan Presidential Library, Simi Valley

I was surprised to see that the ball was taking place in the same room as

Air Force One. What an amazing place to have the Seabee Ball. The room was 3 floors with the plane on the 3rd level. Our table was on the 1st floor under the left wing.

Before heading to our table, we walked around the plane and discovered that the photographer was set up at the entrance. Then, we were able to walk through the plane which is quite impressive.

Above our heads and to the left is the right wing and engines of the plane. What an amazing ball...it had all the bells and whistles of a fancy military ball. I felt like Cinderella in a very unique castle! This is a ball we'll never forget.
