I endured two six-month deployments while he was on Active Duty. We were only able to attend one Marine Corps Birthday Ball. I was trying to find the pictures from that, but it’s a no-go. Ever other year, he was deployed during the Annual Birthday Celebration.

Blogger Tip: Tag Your Posts
I’m going to throw out a little tip to people today. This is mainly for bloggers, or people whom have blogs. Try and “tag” or “label” your posts with as many terms or search words as possible. It makes things easier to search on the Internet, if you want it searched, that is. Plus, when you are trying to look for one of your own older posts, it makes things much easier.
Pink in a Sea of Black
Well of course, a bright pink coat was screaming my name. I didn’t even look at the price and tried it on. I squeeled, because it fit. Talk about exciting! I hadn’t even looked at the price yet, which was $56.99 by the way. It was mine, all mine!!

Moment of silence for 2002…inside BFF joke.
Oh la la..I love..Rue La La
I hate wearing socks on my days off. I wear thick socks when I’m working, and they make those awful lines around my ankles. You know what I’m talking about.
So on my days off, I lean towards my Rainbow Sandals, Birkenstocks, and now these beautiful shoes, Keen’s Berkeley in Seal Brown. I love shoes like these Keen’s because they cover my toes. Sometimes, I wait a few weeks to get a pedicure, and my toes are not so pretty on those in-between weeks.
But these retail for $85 plus tax. Quite expensive, even though they are super comfy.
I didn’t pay $85 for them. I paid $45 plus shipping. The shipping was $10. You get shipping on everything all day long for $10.
Where did I get them for this awesome price? Rue la la
What is Rue la la?
Rue La La is… an exclusive, invitation-only online destination where Members discover premier-brand, private sale Boutiques, each open for just a brief window of time. Our focus is a well-edited collection of sought-after offerings from the best brand names in the world – combined with helpful service.
Membership is free. It’s also invitation-only. Members shape the community by inviting new Members – and getting a $10 Rue La La Credit when each new friend places their first order.
The discovery of something unexpected, something that imbues the day-to-day with a little magic – these are the “ooh la la moments” we long for. And you’ll find them here.
I was able to get a personal link for invites, you can go here and sign-up!
The brands change daily. I get an e-mail from them every morning. I’ve seen some great brands.
But really, aren’t these shoes cute! Oh and the cropped pants I’m wearing. It’s very sad, but they are supposed to be capris, but my legs are short, so they become clam diggers.
My Current Home Makeover Project
I walk by this door, several times a day. I cringe when I open it. The contents may look simple, but they give me anxiety. I know that this space has a bigger purpose. I have several ideas for it. My best friend, Stacey, came over last week and helped me start the remodel process. I can’t wait to show the finished product to everyone.
