Back in OCONUS

I think it stands for: not continental USA, in marine lingo!

Oh boy! I didn't sign up for any of it, it just sort of fell in my lap. Being a commander's spouse (a few of m friends that I met, and I, call ourselves COWs - commanding officer's wife. We're going to have pink T-shirts printed up! Pink for "pink side". That's another thing they call us, while they're the "green side" of course...)

I met a bunch of new friends who, unfortunately, will move away as well, and a bunch of old friends that I haven't seen in a long time. That was nice.
A lot of interesting and not so interesting subjects were discussed at the workshop. Poor PB has another week of it!!!

BBB had grown even bigger, and BB was HUUUGE! She's talking right now...trying out different sounds. She sounds hilarious! BBB and I worked on the alphabet this afternoon. We have a letter bingo game and we drew all the letters after we got them on our board. He does really well and thought it was a fun game. Tomorrow I'll try something with numbers.

PB was down in Nc and looked at a thousand and one houses. He fell hard for one and I have just asked the realtor to send me more pictures. I'm pretty sure I don't want to live on base after this course. Yikes! From what I gather, people are going to know who I am, they're going to hate me and it's my personal fault their husbands are deployed...it's supposed to get lonely at the top...

So we're looking out in town. We'll see what hapens!

Ciao!
