Happy day! I was able once again to fit two challenges into one mani! Day 2 of the
31 day challenge is Orange. And today is the Coast Guard Challenge for my 52 week challenge. How convenient she says. The Coast Guard colors are orange and white. Some might argue that it is more of a red but I know the truth since my husband was in the Coast Guard (keep reading and you get to see pictures of him in uniform!) I had put the Coast Guard on my schedule since the 4th is their birthday! Take a moment to sing Happy birthday to the Coast Guard. I'll wait. This year, they celebrate their 222nd birthday. If you want to know a little more about the history you can check it out at the official
U.S Coast Guard website. Just so you know, the Coasties are a crazy bunch of people. My husband and his Coast Guard friends always have stories to tell that would make a sailor blush. A Navy sailor, not a coastie. Did you know that the Navy calls them the Hooligan Navy? Not very flattering, but true. A fun bunch of folks!
