Military balls...minus the fact that we don't drink and that I was thoroughly under-dressed and over-sized (since prom dresses don't generally come in size PREGNANT!) are pretty decent. It is especially fun however enjoying everyone else who IS drunk!If you're wondering about Ty's black eye, well, he got into a tussle with a guy who tried to make a pass at me. Ha ha ha, you didn't actually believe that did you? I'm freaking HUGE, but that would be funny. No, he got it playing "scouts" (as my mom would say about anything dealing with the military) doing combatives.
Question: If a person drinks human blood, wouldn't you say that's more than slightly cannibalistic?At the ball they have a "grog" all the guys are supposed to drink, I suppose sort of as an initiation thing. The majority of the drink consists of all sorts of hard liquors and beer mixed with random things which included Dirt, MOTOR OIL and HUMAN BLOOD! We were both relieved Ty wouldn't have to drink it due to religious beliefs, but more importantly to me right now, I'm glad I didn't have to see anyone drink it up close due to pregnancy related nausea!
Ok, quick update; We are currently up in Tacoma, Washington and LOVING it! It is unbelievably gorgeous up here and such a huge relief from Oklahoma!! Ty deploys to Iraq August 3rd, Baby Gage is due Sept. 26th, and no, sadly Ty will not be back for the birth. Boo Hiss! I will be back in Utah while he's deployed playing the single-mom role. So, that's the gist for now, but I'll keep posting so stay tuned. :)
