Well, here's the latest of the RonandAnn family, taken on 30 May on the American Rover, sailing the Elizabeth River for 2 hours into the sunset. It was my birthday, I turned (ahem) "35" (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!) and the proof is in the cake (I got a pretty good hubby! Sometimes he surprises me with the right gestures to keep him out of the dog house! LOL)
L-R T: Adrian (my dau's b/f. He's Canadian ... from a town called Lanark, where he is still currently living), then my dau Jacki and then me (Annmarie)
L-R B: Bob (my oldest boy), Rick (my youngest boy) and Ron (my real big boy)
We had so much fun and my boys, ugh...I was so embrassed! They told the Captain it was my birthday, he told the musician and next thing I know, the entire ship is singing "Happy Birthday".... but, about 15 mins later, he mentions another birthday and I got to sing, along with the rest of the passengers, "Happy Birthday" to Rena...we shared the same birthday!!! AWESOME!
It was a really nice cruise and I'm so glad I finally had all my kids with me...as my dau is in the Navy...so this was a very special treat for me! And to let you know....cause as a Mom, you know how us Mom's have to brag (it's in the book under the chapter BRAGGING RIGHTS!)....she just picked up HM2 (Hospital Corpsman Second Class)! I'm so proud of her!
And get this....today she calls me and said she was talking to the Medical Force Command Master Chief and he was talking to her about DIVE SCHOOL. He wants my daughter to go...it's a year school. She does recreational diving already. She's really thinking about it and I think she just may go for it....so she will be a Hospital Corpsman - Surgical Tech with Dive Quals! YEAH! I'll update when I find out she accepts!!!
Thanks for looking....have a great weekend!

PS: OMG....I was checking to make sure my pics came out ok and I just saw for the first time....in the 3rd photo of Rena and myself, in the Pilot Office....OMG...that is my oldest boy at the ship's wheel and if you look to the right, that man in the white uniform is the CAPTAIN ... waving at someone! OMG!!! I didn't even know he did that!
