My Birthday is Coming up...Oh Goodness

Didn't I just have a birthday.

Wow...it feels like yesterday I was celebrating my 26th birthday and now in just 6 days I'll be turning 27. Slow Down, YEAR!!!

Geez...this year is flying by. I can't believe it!

At exactly 8:05am on Sunday, I'll be getting my first phone call for my birthday. It's a tradition since I joined the Navy that I receive my first phone call from my Mom. I was born at 8:05am on September 5th, so of course my Mom is going to make sure to make it a REAL Birthday for me. =) Just a reminder from her on what I put her through when she was in labor with me. LOL I actually was supposed to be born on September 13th, but decided to debut myself 8 days early on Labor Day.

Next year since my birthday will be on Labor Day (my actual birthday) I'll be celebrating it in Illinois with my Mom. Yes, I'm a Labor Day baby. I was born in '83 on Labor Day and I'm PROUD of it. =)

Let's see though what I have in store for this birthday on Sunday. Last year I received so many flowers and presents. Of course it was a surprise since most of my family didn't want me knowing what I was getting. I can't wait for this year's celebration. Hopefully the Hurricane stays away and I can celebrate it with my family and friends. This year, the Cheesecake Factory will do. =)

Hope everyone has a great week. I know I will. =)

Sorry hunny...I'm liking country music now

My poor hubby is going to have to deal with country music in the house and car now. Alexia and I are loving Josh Turner. =)

Thanks to my Mom saying, I may end up converting over thanks to Josh Turner. This man has a deep sexy voice. No wonder why my Mom has a crush on him.

Looking forward to Josh Turner's next Concert. I definitely enjoyed yesterday's concert at Little Creek.

News on the Homefront for 2011

I'm getting out of the Navy towards the end of summer next year...of course that brings up what we'll be doing and where we'll be living. Hubby has been offered a much higher paying job in Washington D.C....so of course we're going to take it. I'll be off of work for at least a year once I'm out of the Navy..(well a full time job in my field at least) while I go to school fulltime to get my Degree and also work on getting more certifications. I'm also going to take some courses in Photography too. =) Can't forget about my love for Photography.

Now we have to make preparations if hubby does get the job and what we'll be doing with our house in Virginia Beach. If we can't sell it...guess we'll rent it out. =)

Life is going great right now.

Hope everyone has an amazing Friday!!

XOXO,

The Papillion Family are DC bound in the end of 2011!!! =)

It's been awhile.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to update this blog about what's going on.

Let's just say life has been hectic for me with lots of doctor appointments and then working the 2-10 shift on the weekdays because of my doctor appointments. I have officially 10 more months in the Navy. =)

I'm currently still dealing with Physical Therapy because of my leg. I'm starting to not limp anymore, but my leg gets stiff if I sit for too long or stand on it for too long. Can't win, I guess.

My Ortho/Oncology Doctor says my femur looks great where the tumor was. Everytime I visit him, I have to get Xrays done. I fould out the bone powder they used for my femur came from University of Miami. My leg does still feels weird though. It will take 9 months for my leg to be fully healed...at least that's what my doctor states.

As for other news, our little princess starts school two days after my birthday and of course I took leave to make sure I'm there for her, just in case. Can't believe our baby girl is going to be in Kindergarten. She's really excited! She is also signed up for her 2nd year with her Ballet Studio here in Virginia Beach. She starts Classes on September 11th. She will be more advanced in her Ballet/Tap class. Next year, we will sign her up for Hip Hip classes too. =)

Let me not forget about our trip to South Carolina coming up next month too and we are also planning a trip to New York City.

That's it for now...hope everyone is enjoying the last weeks of summer.

XOXO,
