Time Together

Playing with our new camera

Justin went back to work on Sunday after two weeks off.  He only worked from 7 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon though, so that wasn't a big deal.   We went to church, then ate lunch and took naps.  By that time Daddy was home.

We had a blast while he was home though.  We had thought about going to Japan and visiting Disneyland, but we stayed here on the island and I am glad we did.  There is still so much we haven't seen.  We went to some waterfalls on Monday, found a great beach on Wednesday, and found another little island off the little island of Guam on Friday.  The waterfall was really neat!  Every picture that I have posted on here is a different waterfall.  There were several waterfalls.  They would fall, make a pool and then have another fall.  Cocos Island was beautiful too!  We had to take a ferry to get out to the island and the water is so beautiful!  We just hung out at the beach there, but it was fun!  They have a lot of water activities that we can partake in on future visits.  We have some great pictures and memories from those trips.  I have found several nice sea collectables on our trips last week.   I am still cleaning them though because I am not thrilled about the fact that things used to live in them!

Ferry ride to island

Our island girl

Oh yeah,  we got a van on Thursday!  We are having our Jeep Liberty shipped to us as I am writing this and the original plan was for me to drive the Jeep and find a little beat up car for Justin to drive just to the airport.  Well, here on Guam our Jeep Liberty should be worth about $15,000 if I am comparing it to what they are trying to sell nasty little cars for here.  We found a nice van that is in good shape though.  It was a little more than we wanted to spend, but compared to other cars that we could have bought it was a good deal.  It is a Toyota Sienna and has all the fancy gadgets (no DVD player though), leather seats, etc.  I haven't taken any pictures of it yet, but I will!  I will take the pictures with our new camera!  It takes great pictures.  I love it!

Beautiful water

Cocos Island

Gabriel, Elyssa, and I started AWANA on Wednesday night.  I mentioned this because I am helping in the 3-4 year old room.   Not sure how I got roped into that!  No, I kid,  it was a lot of fun and I am glad that I am helping!    We have been working on Gabe's memory verses and he does such a good job.  He is like his mom...I was always good at memorizing and remembering. Maybe not so much now!   I started school with Gabe and Elyssa on Monday.  We have been working with them some during the last few weeks, but I actually got a lesson plan book and have lessons worked out for every day this week.  I definitely am the type of person who has to write things down!  I am a "list" person, and yes, I checked off when we finished something today!  I had a calendar laminated to work with them, but now I don't have tape to hang it on the wall, so another hurdle to get through to actually do school work.  Must get tape tomorrow!

The shell I found

Beach downtown

Justin and I decided that we are going to travel at least once a month while we are here.  I think I will plan the Tokyo Disneyland vacation for October.  I have also started to diet and workout!  I am not really appreciating the beach pictures of me and it is time to do something about that!

Alright, well that is probably enough update for now.  I will try to be better about updating this blog, but so far not doing so hot!  How often do most people update blogs?

Write more soon!
