On the Beach

I wanted to clear up the questions of whether the island of Guam is a tropical island....YES IT IS!  I took some pictures of the beach when I was there this weekend for you all to see.  I have been to the beach every day since I got here because it is just a short drive away and there are multiple beaches to choose from.

The classic laying out shot with legs! lol.

This is the way most beaches look.  About 5 feet with clean sand then another 5 feet of shells and coral leading into the ocean.

The darker spots in the water are where the coral is.  The lighter spots are safe to go in without water shoes.

It's mostly coral.

The sandy part right before all the foliage.

Gonna snorkel over to this small section of the island.

Enjoying the beach and the sun!  I've already gotten like 3 shades darker!

There are lots of these little suckers sneaking around on the beach.  Hermit Crabs!

So as you can see, Guam is very tropical and beautiful.  The water is warm and salty!  The sun is bright and there always seems to be a storm looming off the island that may or may not hit you.  When a storm does hit it just brings a quick downpour or sprinkle and moves right on out.  Matthew and I went in to Home Depot to get curtains with a storm looming and came out after it finished raining.  Total of about 20 minutes and the sun was shining again! Life is good!

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 ...

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 ...

Rainy Thursday!

A rainy day here is nothing like a rainy day at home.  When it rains here all day you end up with rivers for roads and flooding in your backyard.  It has been raining non stop since I woke up this morning at 8:30 am.  And it was even raining before I woke up so I have no idea how many hours straight it has been raining.  But it is now 4pm and there is still no end in sight to the wet madness!  Here is a video of just how crazy it is out there: Matthew and I spent the morning getting some good shopping in.  We went to Kmart, Ross, and the Commissary for food.  We did really well too and only got what we put on our shopping list.  Well, except for a couple to Halloween decorations!  But that is only because we know that we don't have any at all and we want to participate in Halloween this year.  We are going to give out candy to the little kiddies in our neighborhood.  We have been told that the tick-or-treaters are serious out h...
