Here is a visual catch up for you:

Lions VS Cardinals Game
Myself, LCpl Dailey and LCpl Chaffin volunteered to wear our blues and attend the Lions VS Cardinals game to hold the flag during the national anthem. The game was held in the new Cradinals stadium in Phoenix, AZ where the superbowl is also being held this year. I have never had so many thank you's said to me before. They actually stood up and clapped as me and two other marines walked up the bleachers in our blues. You wouldn't believe how big the flag is.. all snapped together it fills the the field!











MC Ball 08




As I said before, our Ball this year was a lot of fun. Here are the pictures to catch you up.

I took a weekend trip out San Diego to see my friend Lisa and we spent a few hours doing some surfing Sunday morning before I drove back.

Halloween at a local bar..Jimmy D's. I was the famous school girl!

When up in Phoenix, Matt, Dailey and I were escorted by Ned and Sharon to a go karting track.. Yeah I lost, Dang!

Fallon, NV

I have a quick minute so here is the update of my time here in Fallon, NV..
First off, I thought Yuma was the worst place as far as all things being brown and consisted of nothing until I flew in here.. Town is about a 20 minute drive and consists of 10 casinos which are made from old Denny resturant buildings, a few gas stations/banks, and a wal mart which is their mall (I asked where the mall is, you know me)
We flew in on a five passenger plane that picked us up at the door in Yuma and dropped us off at the one in Fallon, talk about VIP! We then got our rooms which are actually in a hotel with a maid, what a good cahnge of pace! I sound a bit spoiled right..Well we are. Here I am actually doing my MOS which is building bombs and we are working directly with the Navy. Talk about being spoiled.. Back in Yuma we build bombs on the ground using all hand tools, the Navy uses all pheumatic tools and builds on assembly tables.. When we got here they told us that we should build the way we will in Iraq but of coarse we are like thats okay, lets learn your way, haha.. we are bad! The Navy is pretty fun to work with, theres always the rivalry jokes which makes it even better. Anyways, we are working just about the same hours as back in Yuma and still making our own fun at night. We go to the liberty center just about everyday to play on the internet, watch movies at the theatre inside, play pool, air hockey (I always win, thanks to the table in our basement), ping pong, and pool (which im not so good at, dang) Last weekend we went to Reno: started at the mall which didn't last long seeming i was with 6 boys, then we went to CircusCircus and finally made our way to a local strip club called Fantasy Girls, of coarse I was the only female non stripper there, good thing I am a fun girl! hehe.
Well its Friday night and we are about to get some dinner then go see American Gangster and probably drink and play cards. Sunday we are looking at going to Lake Tahoe to do some snotubing for the day (free for military) Should be a good time!
Its that time for me to go pick up the rest of the crew and head out. Did I tell you i'm driving a 12 person van? You know i'm pimpin in that!!
