Happy 27th, Arielle!

Today was my 27th birthday.  Yay!  Sooooo big!!!  I wore my red, white, and blue in honor of Flag Day, and was delighted that my fellow chapel volunteers were decked out in patriotic colors too, to celebrate my birthday, of course!  :)

Happy (belated) Towel Day!

I can't believe I forgot to post Happy Towel Day on May 25th!  For all you hard-core Douglas Adams' fans out there, please know, we did actually celebrate with you, even if I am just now getting around to actually posting about it.

Towel Day is held in honor of Douglas Adams, the author of the "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series.  Participants are supposed to carry around a towel on May 25th to show their love and remembrance of this amazing sci-fi author.

And put it in a ziplock bag...

Brandon and I have had Lit songs (four of them, including "Ziplock," to be more specific) stuck in our head all weekend since we learned that the annual SchwabFest, a festival held on - you guessed it - Camp Schwab, was bringing in the band Lit.  When Brandon mentioned this to me, I immediately sang back to him, "It's no surprise to me, I am my own worst enemy."  Talk about good recall!  We haven't heard any of their music since the 90s!  Didn't realize they were still touring and putting out new albums.  Oops.  We figured we'd better make up for our lack of Lit by driving a little over an hour up north to the marine base.

These boots were made for hiking...

So what do you do on a rainy Memorial Day in Okinawa?  You start preparing for your July Fuji hike, that's what you do!  Brandon brushed and moisturized his boots with the help of Doc Martin.  The boot on the left is the finished product (oh so nice-looking!) and the boot on the right is waiting for its turn.
