In September, I flew home for ScrapFest in Mandeville, which was a blast! I got a chance to see my family and had a great time with Mom, Aunt Debbie, Bonnie and Valerie. I truly cannot wait to do it all over again, hopefully next fall.
Not much happened in October. There was no dressing up for Halloween and no trick or treating like last year. Gee, we sure are getting to be old and mean, huh?
November came with lots of activity. Lots. On the 6th, I flew out from HNL to meet my mom and my grandparents in Vegas. It was their 5oth anniversary trip! Wow! FIFTY whole years. What an amazing accomplishment. I arrived on the 7th and we got started right away on our exploring. It was a wild, cold, fun filled week of food, casinos, helicopters, lights, taxis and water shows to name a few! We stayed at the Monte Carlo and it was really nice and decently close to most everything, right on the strip. We were constantly busy, and constantly going somewhere! We also visited the Pawn Stars pawn store while we were there. Lucky for us, they happened to be filming that day. It was neat to see how they filmed and what was edited and so on. We also got some tee shirts autographed by Chumlee. Look for us as extras in an upcoming episode ( I hope!).
On the 23rd, Charles decided to trade the Cobra in on a brand new Harley Sportster. I know he really hated to give up that car, but he is really enjoying the bike. I know that he will eventually have another awesome Mustang. (Not to mention the '66 he has in the garage back home).
My best friend Hollie also came in for Thanksgiving week to stay with her fiance'. We laid out on the beach and just hung out. It was great to spend time with them both and talk about the plans for their upcoming wedding. On Thanksgiving Day, we joined some more friends at the Yard House and had "Yardsgiving"!
Now here we are in December. Wow, I can't believe it is already here. Tomorrow is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor and there will be lots of festivities over here by the base. I hear that they are bringing some remains of one of the survivors down there by navy diver. I will try to keep you updated better in the weeks to come. We have Christmas on its way, my birthday and our mini trip to Big Island. What fun!
I will post some pictures soon of all our happenings!
