My 29th Bday

After the performance on Camp Butler, we went to Ali Baba in American Village. YUM!! I got my all-time fave: butter chicken curry with a big piece of nan :P
Michael made my cake ... he was taking a long time to get the camera ready ... (thats my excuse anyway):
sooo ... here I am with the deliciously wonderful cake that my hubby made me:
To finish up birthday week, we went up north to Camp Schwab to stay at the cabins on Oura Wan Bay. I requested Sangria for my beverage of choice - this is Michael getting the pitcher ready in the kitchen:
Enjoying our spot on the beach:
Katie, Jack and Dean came up to help us celebrate - we had an amazingly beautiful day to enjoy great company! Jack-man had lots of sunscreen on ... enough to give him a mohawk!
Katie had lots of sunscreen too :)
Jack enjoying the surf with his beverage of choice ...
The clouds stayed on the other side of the island the whole day! Eventually, the beach got more populated with Marines who decided to take advantage of the awesome weather too:
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!

Marine Corps Silent Drill Team and Drum & Bugle Corps

We were lucky enough on Okinawa to be treated to a performance by the Marine Corps Silent Drill Team and Drum & Bugle Corps - on my birthday! The Silent Drill Team is much like the Fish Drill Team at Texas A&M so I had an idea of what to expect, but it was still an amazing show to get to see!
Here is the Drum & Bugle Corps:

I had a great video to upload, but due to our crap internet provider it has not been able to load in over 2 days. I give up!
