In September, I had a couple of extra opportunities to enjoy some time with my fellow Chaplain Spouses. The first was the annual Welcome Aboard shindig for both Navy spouses and Marine spouses.
This sweet lady, Carrie, was known as our lucky rabbit's foot. She was absolutely the LUCKIEST lady we knew when it came to door prizes. She literally won something every single time!! And often, just like this day, her ticket was drawn twice!!! (She legally had tickets in both the Marine spouses pot and the Navy spouses pot.) Not only that, we determined that if you "rub elbows with her", her luck rubs off on you.... and guess what--- it did for me!!! I pretty much never win door prizes, but that day I did!!! (Not to mention 2-3 of our other Navy Chaplain spouses!!)
And I didn't just win some measly little door prize, I won a seriously coveted terracotta jack-o-lantern from the Navy Gift Shop!!!
After the Welcome Aboard festivities, we did a practice run of flying SCREAMING sock monkeys in preparation for our Religious Ministries Team bash!!
Later in the month, a few of us adventured to lunch at a local coffee shop and planned to do a little shopping at Uptight India, but it turned out to be closed that day. We settled for Plan B and did some shopping at the neighboring San-A grocery store/shopping center. Regardless of where we went, it was great company!!
