Next Station: Camp Lejeune

Since my baby is in the Marines there isn't a real possibility for him to move with me to where I am.  I wasn't very clear on that (go figures) but we had that talk and due to some variables I would be the one moving to where he is.  He was about to end his period at his current base so now he would have to choose were to go next.  Choosing didn't mean getting it, but if available and he was needed there he could get it. He told me the possibilities and I chose as follows: Hawaii (of course), Japan and if none of the above, North Carolina.

Well, we got NC :( noooooo!!!! I mean, there is nothing wrong with NC, I love cowboys and all haha but this was my train of thought: I'm from an Island in the Caribbean and after being for 3 years in a city in Europe where the nearest beach is 4 hours away Hawaii sounded pretty good.  Also, there was the language variable.  My Marine had been based in Hawaii before and I can't believe how was he there for 3 years and did not learn the language!  Japan: well, I'm an industrial engineer so getting to work in Japan where all the revolutionary principles of my career where born, what can I say? And once again, a new language. 

Well, instead we got Camp Lejeune, which my Marine doesn't love particularly because he says there are too many Marines in one place, like the amount is not proportional to the civilian population and of course, his biggest fear: "Marines hit on your woman".  For my part, I had to asked some basic questions that would determine my move: are there malls? Is there a Starbucks? are there good clubs? haha the answer was yes, so, I'm in!!!  I'm kidding, regardless of what he said I want to be with him, so those would not be a condition for me to move...but it would make my life easier since he could be away for long and then...me, alone, nothing to do; so good the answer was a yes.

I think is a good thing NC, with so many Marines there it would be the best place to learn all the stuff needed and fast.  There are too many things I have to learn about him and what he does.  Is like I have to learn what takes years in months.
