First Friday

Happy Friday. I found the ocean on my run this morning and was again blow away by the natural beauty on all sides. I ran through both the old and new base housing and the new stuff is pretty sweet, while the old looks decrepit. All of it is surrounded by the most beautiful smelling trees and bushes. This morning I took the boys over to one of the many base playgrounds, right across the street, and thought hopefully about days when we are settled in a neighborhood here, too. We're hoping to see at least one house this afternoon, then this evening Chris and I are attending our "Hail" where we are greeted by the squadron while our friend Belinda watches the boys.
