Happy Tuesday! It is Tuesday, right? This last week has been a blur. I was off of work Wednesday through the end of the week. Besides being off and then having Daylight Savings Time, it was a rough Monday. I am very tired and working hard to play catch up. Why does time away always seem like more work when coming back?! You can read all about my week below.
What we did
My younger brother has been in the Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island since December. He officially graduated and we were able to see him for the first time. On Thursday, we attended his family day. We got to walk around the base, visited some food trucks, and just hang out. On Friday, he officially graduated. We attended the event and then enjoyed some lunch after. We are very proud of him.
He gets about 10 days off before he is off to North Carolina for more training but at least he has liberty on the weekend. Us siblings went out on Saturday night to celebrate. We did a little bar hopping around Downtown Savannah. On Sunday we enjoyed dinner at Paula Deen’s restaurant. The food there is always good and the ooey gooey butter cake is something to dream about.
