Yes on Tuesday the 12th I turned 26… just another day really. Dad called from China and I talked with him for about 45min. His trip is going well. Of course I wish I was there with him. I enjoyed going overseas with him 2 years ago. I am sure when Michael is old enough, he would enjoy a trip with Grandpa too!
Joe had to work which is no fun. He did come home to have lunch with me. We went to the Chinese Buffet. I know Joe doesn’t like them too much but it’s what I wanted and I enjoyed it thoroughly! We had a long conversation about our plans after Beaufort. There are so many options that it is making me a little crazy. Part of me wants Joe to get out of the Navy and finish school. This would allow me to take a good long look at my career as well. This will also mean that he won’t get deployed with the Navy; spending months away from Michael and I. I know that may sound selfish but I also know that he does not like the idea of missing anything in his son’s life. But if he were to stay in the Navy, he would be 12 years away from retiring… we would then get a paycheck and medical benefits for the rest of our life. If the economy crashes again in the future and we lost our jobs we would at least have some money coming in and have medical coverage. There is so much to think about. I know we won’t make any big decisions until Michael makes his appearance. We just want to do what is best for the three of us.
So now onto a less depressing topic… Mom and Britt drove down from Raleigh
We went to Gilligan’s for some fresh seafood for dinner. Of course I had myself some crab legs. I don’t get them too often but it’s a safe bet that it is my meal of choice for birthdays! After dinner we had Chocolate Chocolate cake… yummy! It was quite a comical birthday cake singing song… I hope Britt loads in the video to the blog *wink wink*
For my birthday I got a new camera lens! I am so excited with it! It is a 85mm 1.4/f… basically it is a super sharp, good in low light, professional lens. I couldn’t wait to take photos! I still have a lot to learn with it but here are the first few shots that I took with it! Britt and Joe were my subjects!
What a cutie :) I am sure that I will be lookking at a mini Joe when Michael is here!
