My AMAZING good-bye party!

There's quantity and then there's quality.................in LeJeune I was fortunate to have BOTH! We were only there for 2 years, but somehow I managed to make some AMAZING friendships with a PHENOMENAL group of girls! I'm grateful for the military lifestyle in that way. We're all in the same boat. We all "get it" in a way that the outside world just doesn't. We learn to lean and depend on each other as our husbands are deployed for what seems like FOREVER! We cross the line from friends to sisters and our kids become siblings. They say it takes a village to raise a child and in the military, there's no doubt it does! I love my LeJeune peeps! I don't know what I'd do without them! We had some of the best times ever from numerous coffees, house parties, girl's nights out to pole dancing and gnome stealing! There were some tears, but mostly laughter................LOTS and LOTS of laughter!

Jill, Renee and Stacy threw an AMAZING going away party for me and Erin. It started out with a GIANT corsage! Gawdy, just like I like it ;) Next we did what we do best................EAT delicious food and talk! The girls went all out in the planning, cooking and decorating! It was the perfect ending to a perfect 2 years with PERFECT friends! Thank you guys for always being there, for always being fun to hang out with and for ALWAYS BEING YOU! I LOVE YOU HOOKERS!!!!!
