This was then.

When I was young. and dumb. and care-free. and might I say… a tad bit heavier.
but man was I ever in love.
Because I met this guy.


We just got engaged there.
What young pups we were. Him especially. I think he just became legal.
I like em’ young what can I say?
He was most likely making a buck fifty on his E-3 salvery and I was maybe making buck on my intern salary.
Little did I know, I would find ourselves back in the same land. Married, a kiddo and might I say..a tad bit lighter.
This is now.
CHIEF PETTY OFFICER Now.

I recently made a trip back to my old stomping grounds.
Where the camels roam. The grass is sand. and It is hotter than a two dollar pistol.
Now I am older.
A bit smarter.
And even more in love.
Tony just made chief as I posted before, so I headed over for the pinning and the ball and my birthday.

Here is a quote that I thought was right-on. And then the temp when we left the little right-on quote.

Did I mention it was close to midnight. Notice the temp. 101. See..hotter than a two dollar pistol.
Here we are on my birthday…I know I know…playing bingo?? Yes playing bingo!
I did say I was a bit older. :[)

Then right before I left for the journey back to America.

ciao for now…shel
