On Saturday, our XO Spouse, Tammy, planned us a Halfway Dinner (to celebrate halfway done with this year's deployment). It was super fun and really sweet! We all dressed up, took a bus to a Shabu-Shabu place (you cook meats, veggies, and noodles in different flavored broths), and got a few goodies! Each of our husbands wrote us letters, which she tied to a cork and placed in a bottle (message in a bottle!), we got anchor cookies, pictures of our hubs, and bracelets. It was a great night!
Being part of the Navy, in whatever capacity is never easy. Being overseas with husbands on deployment is difficult; we spend about half of the year apart and that is tough. I feel really, really grateful to be part of such an amazing Spouses Club with such great ladies. They're so welcoming, fun, and supportive. It makes it better to have people around us going through the same thing and to do things with!
Sam's 5th birthday was this week! (16 September) I made him "pupcakes" (bananas, shredded carrots, PB, an egg, oats, a little flour, greek yogurt, topped with cream cheese and PB "frosting") He licked all the frosting off, took a nibble, and gobbled it up in one bite!

Tuckered out from all the fun!
