I have been a very busy girl this month.  My parents and Grandmother arrived in California on the 6th. They stayed from that Friday until the following Wednesday. We had a wonderful time catching up, eating, and shopping; And we topped it all off with a trip to Disneyland the day I turned 25.  If you’ve never been to Disney on your birthday, you need to plan to soon. It was the best birthday I’ve ever had. I got in for free which was cool. But, they also gave me a Birthday badge to wear. Literally every cast member we pasted told me happy birthday and so did loads of other people. And it just makes you feel good to have hundreds of people wishing you Happy Birthday by name.  We all had a great time. We got to the front of most lines because of Grandmother’s wheelchair (yes, we took advantage of handicap privileges and I highly recommend it). This was Brett’s first ever Disney experience. It was fun watching the kid in him come out and shine.(He took most of the pictures but I wish I’d thought to grab it and get some of him, I’m awful) I hate to report, DisneyLAND is just not as amazing as DisneyWORLD. So we will have to show Brett the difference one day.  But all in all I just loved being there with my family. I’ve missed them so much and having them AND Brett with me was a dream come true.   The next day I started my new job. (With very little energy and very sore feet) Brett entertained everyone while I worked on Monday and Tuesday. Plus, I got to come home to dinner on the table and pretty new Fiestaware dishes. (‘Cause I want to be just like Ronda Saying goodbye to Mama, Daddy, and Grandmother was sad. They left Wednesday morning and made it back to Alabama saftely. It’s been three weeks now since I started work. I like most of the people I work with and my supervisor and manager are very impressed with my performance and say they have “big plans” for me. Which is awesome.  But that’s not all. . .

Brett is getting promoted! He will be pinned with rank Lance Corporal on Monday. He is very excited and I am very proud. He is a good Marine and his superior have taken notice. Plus, the next time Brett gets promoted we get the option to move to nicer and more spacious housing.

So, Life is Good! And as I get settled into my new routine I’ll try to post more often.
