hair cuts and laziness

Man oh man have I got a story to go down in the books today!! OK so today is one of the first Saturdays that Matthew and I have had absolutely free of things to do in a while. So what do we decide to do? Be lazy of course! The morning started off great with Matthew making us pancakes for breakfast and then it moved right along into our laziness. We decided to be a little bit productive because it was about time for Matthew to have his hair cut. I am his own personal barber, or so I thought. There was a bit of an incident with the hair clippers that I bought him for Christmas. First off there was the fact that I forgot to put the guard on the clippers before I started to cut his hair. Thus there was a little bit to much hair cut off in the back! I felt so bad about this because I felt like I ruined his hair. Normally I am a great barber, honest. Matthew, however, being the amazing husband that he is, did not get mad in the slightest. He actually thought that it was funny! He made me feel so much better about my little mistake. The second incident with the clippers led to an even more dramatic ending. The darn things would not cut more than a centimeter at a time without pulling his hair out of his head! I had to stop. And we went to Great Clips!! We both got hair cuts and Matthew's looks great. You can't even tell that I had a little mess up.

But yeah today has been a great day. We got a couple redbox movies and came back to the apartment. More laziness and spaghetti for dinner! What a wonderful day of laughs and excitement with my husband! Wish every day could be like today (without the hair woes).

April Update

I thought that since I had not given an update in a while that is was about time I did.  So I am going to tell you what has been going on this past month. Matthew First  (because his is shorter than mine): Matthew had his certification test this past month as well as his E4 qualification exam.  He took the E4 exam before he had certification tests.  The E4 exam has a lot to do with why he was assigned to unaccompanied travel to Guam.  He was supposed to be ranked up to an E4 before he could be sent overseas as a accompanied traveler.  (If that doesn't make sense to you...join the club)  But, luckily  Matthew feels like he did well on the exam so hopefully he will be ranked up to an E4 and there won't be any controversy over me joining him in Guam.  Then there's the certification tests; these are the tests that he takes at the school for learning how to be a Naval K9 handler.  Matthew feels that he did really well on these tests ...

Burn It Down | October 17, 2018

I want to tell you all a little story about a day that I had recently, yesterday in fact! I'll start where my day always seems to start: Six am on the dot with a mouth breathing Isabella standing right beside my bed.  Anyone else have one of those type of children?  The ones that wake at the same absurd hour of the early morning? Both of my children have inherited that lovely trait from their father, not from me! Anywho, I could sense that she was there; standing beside me, staring at me, willing me to wake up.  You know, that ability to feel someone's presence before you actually see them?  Yep, that is how I wake up most mornings since Matthew left on his deployment. And so the day started!  Conner was already awake as well, I could hear him 'talking' to himself in his bedroom.  So in we went to get Conner up and changed to bring downstairs with us.  Only problem, Conner woke up on the wrong side of the bed on this particular morning.  So ...

Australian Vacation

Hello all!   I know that it has been quite a long time since I last posted a blog but I decided it was time for another post.  Having a little one crawling all over the place really takes up my time now-a-days.  Infact, the only reason I am able to write this now is because she is napping.  Maybe I will be able to get this done in the time it takes for one nap...we shall see.  So here it goes. This past week the Ohrvalls' took a much needed vacation to Cairns, Australia.  Matthew and I had such a blast taking Isabella on her first family vacation but it was difficult to transition our old vacationing without kids mindset and bring it to a vacationing with a baby mindset.  It is quite different going on vacation with an 8 month old than it is with just two adults.  Needless to say, we spent a lot more time in the hotel room during nap time and at parks for playtime.  But we were still able to do a lot of really fun stuff as a family that we ...
