I had the honor of attending the 17th Annual Joint Spouses' Conference in Honolulu today. This is a conference in which spouses of all ranks and rates from all our services on the island come together to experience a fun and informative day filled with workshops, lectures, meals and memories. Here is a sample of some of the things I learned today.... the Way of the Lei and Chocolate Creations. I also learned some beginner hula (no pictures needed there!), gardening in Hawaii, and Mai Tai and other drink mixing. I even won the best original cocktail for my workshop group and for the entire conference. This means I won lunch for 2 at the Koko Cafe, an over night at the Hale Koa Hotel and dinner for 2 at BIBAS in Honolulu. Plus, the drink will be the featured beverage for November AND December..... and I get the bragging rights that go with it! I think the most profound aspect was meeting and listening to CBS News Correspondent Kimberly Dozier. She is a remarkable woman who has so much to offer to us, especially other military spouses.
