May 23, 2007...The USS Peleliu (LHA-5) deployed on a four month humanitarian cruise. On board was my husband ABH3 Osborne, Michael and a few friends. On the deployment they stopped at several countries: Guam, Philippines, Vietnam, Papau New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Marshall Islands. Where they help rebuild and paint school and children homes. The ship took 1,000 civilian doctors and dentist to assist those in need. Gave the local doctors medical supplies and taught personal hygiene to all the locals. They also stopped of in Hawaii twice. At the beginning and at the end of the deployment.
September 20, 2007...After enduring a long four month of water, foreign languages and costumes. They are finally home. A warm and friendly welcome back home was given. All the sailors are happy to be back to their semi-normal life styles. Where they can drive around, they don't have curfew and where everyone speaks English. Friends and families are so thankful and very happy to have the ones they love home ones more.

Passport...
Finally! Mike received his passport in the mail today; we only had to wait 2 months. So now it official, Mike will be flying to Costa Rica in 11 days. Its very thrilling! Four months is to long to be away from anyone you truly love.
I just want to think everyone that was praying that Mike would receive his passport. Thank You!

Blonde Joke
This is a dedicated blonde joke to my Mother, who oh so happens to be a blonde. I love you Mama!!
A blonde enters a store that sells curtains. She tells the salesman, "I would like to buy a pair of pink curtains."
The salesman assures her that they have a large selection of pink curtains. He shows her several patterns, but the blonde seems to have a hard time choosing.
Finally she selects a lovely pink floral print. The salesman then asks what size curtains she needs.
The blonde promptly replies, "Fifteen inches."
"Fifteen inches?" asked the salesman. "That sounds very small - what room are they for?"
The blonde tells him that they aren't for a room, but they are for her computer monitor.
The surprised salesman replies, "But miss, computers do not need curtains!"
The blond says, "Hellllooooooooo! I've got Windoooooows!"

September 11th
For many people September 11th is a very sad day. The people who died in the World Trade Centers, didn't even know what hit them till it was to late. Fireman and police officers and rescue teams, lost their lives trying to save the lives of people they didn't even know. Today is a day of sorrow and turmoil. A day of remembrance to those who died in the attack and for those who died serving their country & people. There are families who are mourning over their loved ones. Because today there is sadness and remembrance.
Even though, today is that day. It is a day of happiness. Today was my brothers 19th birthday, I'm thankful that he gets to be a year older and he gets to see more of the world. And today a new addition to the Osborne family was born. Mike's brother & his wife had their first baby today. A boy, 6lbs. 2 oz., born this morning at 8:01. Unfortunately, Mike's brother was not able to be there, for the birth of his baby boy. Just like so many other Americans, he is serving his country.
Today was the worse day of 2001. But out of the worse events in the world, always comes something beautiful. Evil is always overcomes by good!

New Addition To The Osborne Family
My sister in law Anhelica is due September 24. Which everyone is very excited about! Mike is going to be an uncle so he is very happy. I found out this morning throw Mother that they are going to induce Anhelica on September 19, due to her diabetes. Anhelica's husband is getting ready for a deployment, he is not really home. But they are hoping since he is still in the states, he will get to he the birth or at least get to hold his son. Baby Oz name is Alaxander Joaquin. I love that name!
I bet you all were thinking... OMG Becca's pregnant!!! I mean I would probably break the new to everyone in a blog, but I'm not that mean! Even though it would be a lot easier then calling everyone I know. What a lovely thought.
I know I am already an auntie, but I'm pretty excited about become some other little cuties auntie. Anyways... just wanted to share this news.

Panama Trip and Deployment
So this past week, my parents, a friend Julie & I went to Boca del Toro Panama. If you don't know where that is I suggest you find a global map and look it up. Anyways, it was a very good trip. It was really hot and stuff, but very enjoyable! You could not drink the water, nor rinse your mouth out with faucet water... for various reasons. We went to this really awesome beach, it's called Red Frog... know fact: there are red poisonous frogs near the beach area. It was pretty cool, or at least I thought so. OMG, a soda pop was like .65 USA cents, I was so snappin' about that! We got to ride in boats everywhere... to get to one island to the other, it was very exciting! All in all, I had a good time in Panama!
Well, deployment is almost up, which I am very thankful for. I know Mike is totally excited and is pretty much counting down the days, which I am also doing. The ship has about 2 more stops before they pull into San Diego. Four months, has not really seemed that long... it has actually gone by pretty fast. Mike still has not gotten his passport, they just got mail too... he is very worried. And I might have to order a new one for him... which is not a problem, we just really did not want to do that. But everything else is wonderful. We are both totally and completely excited about being together after so long! So that makes everything a lot brighter in our lives!!

Short Update...
Alright, so it has been a while since we last posted. Lets see, Mike turned 21 years on Tuseday. Which is pretty cool. I still have aways to go till I'm 21. Mike is almost home, so I'm like jumping for joy! I know both of our families are pretty happy that he will be home soon.
Umm... Mike still has not gotten his passport, we are alittle worried about that. But we are pretty sure it will show up any minute. I called the passport angency and the post office it should have already gotten to him or at least it should be on it's way. So we are just waiting, going to see if he gets it any time soon.
On the blogger, I update the sliding picture thingy from rock you. Its no longer a blog, because we keep adding new pictures to it... but it is at the bottom of our page. And there is music that goes along with the slide show, which makes it seem so beautiful.
I have been working on a quilt with my Mother, it looks nice. We got one side of it finished, now all that is left to do is the padding part and the bottom. Its called a granny squar quilt. It has a lot of different colors, its really pretty!
That is the update so far. As you know I can't tell you where Mike is at, all I can say is that he is almost home. Which is every exciting!

Phone Call & More...
Well, Mike called me this morning. I was so excited & happy! It's been a month or more since I last heard his voice. We had a really good talk! The time difference is a little confusing... we are between 14 to 16 hours of difference. This morning, he wasn't even sure what day it was, lol. The days don't really matter when you are on deployment. Because you work all 7 days & about 12 hours everyday. They have hit their mid-point mission, which mean they are half way done with their humanitarian deployment and will be home soon. Mike will be back in San Diego in 53 days. Then 15 days later, we will finally be together! Its going to be wonderful to see him, hold him and kiss him again. haha, my Dad told me, he would go by himself to pick Mike up at the airport. Dad said he would gladly meet Mike with a baseball bat... haha. I told Mike about that, all Mike did was laugh and said that would be the cutest thing to see! Of course, I know my Dad would never do that, but I have been thinking about how funny it will be if he did. I just can't wait to see my husband again!
