We chose to celebrate yesterday because Josh was going to be gone today, he had to go to the Marine Corps 235th Ball. Although I'm sad I didn't get to join him, I couldn't bare to leave my sweet baby on her very first birthday. Yesterday we woke up all together, gave her a cupcake & presents! She's soooo loved. After the girls played, and napped, we decided to go eat a very late lunch at Ruby's Diner on the Pier. Well, Josh got Kinsley from the car, took her to the Pay Lot machine and I got Abrielle from the car. Closed the door. Josh opened my door & put the Pay Lot ticket on the dash, I said, Lock it. He did, just as the door was closing, he yelled "YOUR KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION!" I couldn't believe it. I *ALWAYS* (well, except for this one time..) put the keys in my purse! My mind was in a tizzy at the time though, I wasn't used to Josh getting Kinsley from the car. If it had been me getting her out I would have opened up the passenger side door to lock it AND I WOULD HAVE NOTICED THE KEYS before!! Oh well. What's done is done.. We went to the Diner & figured we'd call a cab to get us. After all it was just like 3 miles from home. Wouldn't be that expensive! Ate a great meal together out on the ocean, walked back, called the taxi place.. Lonnng time went by & they didn't show. Josh suggest I call a friend (all his friends live on the north side of base 20+ min from us) soo I called the oh-so-dependable Megan Cate!! She came to our rescue and even brought TWO carseats!! Soooo sweet and I'm thankful so much for her! Thanks again, Megan!
After all that madness, Josh had to leave to drive to Primm, Nevada for today's Ball! The girls and I went to Toys R Us today and bought them a disney princess tent to play in! I couldn't just not give Abrielle a present ON HER BIRTHDAY! I guess it's the Mama in me. Speaking of, we got to Skype with Whit & Mia this morning then Skyped with Mama & Preslee later where she suprised us with a cake that read Abrielle is 1! They sang happy birthday, and ate the cake right in front of our faces!! Haha. It's okay tho, I have like 20 cupcakes sitting downstairs so we are GOOD on SUGAR!!! Plus all the Halloween candy.. I plan on getting rid of a lot of that in the Goodie Bags I'm giving out at Abrielle's 1st Birthday Party Saturday :) We are so excited to get our Daddy back tomorrow & set up for Saturday's party!! Will update after the weekend! Hope everyone has an awesome Veteran's Day Weekend!!! SO proud of my veteran & all the others who have, are, and will serve for our country! God BLESS!~!~
