Short Hiatus, All Stitched Up Now

Hey guys, I know I haven't posted in a while but I have A GOOD REASON!!

I had a little accident this past Wednesday that I would rather not go into details about on the blog.  (I don't really want the whole world to be able to read about it.)  BUT... if this is family reading this, and you feel like you need to know all the details, then you can talk to my mom or dad because they both know what actually happened.

SO ... this 'thing' that happened caused me to have to take my first ride in an ambulance and get my first ever stitches!  Yep, that's right I had to get stitches.  I got them in my upper right arm, seven total.  NOT FUN!

That, my friends, is why I have not been able to write a blog the past few days.  I have not known how to even go about telling you all.  Hence, I came up with the above solution.  But now this puts a damper on all of the fun Guam stuff that I have been doing or planning on doing for the next few weeks.  Stuff like hiking and snorkeling and basically anything where I have to move my arm too much or get wet.  I am not able to go swimming because I can't get the stitches wet.  So Matthew and I are trying to figure out what there is to do on Guam that is 'stitches friendly' :)

Today Matthew went snorkeling and I did some tanning and reading on the beach.  I have to work on getting this sports bra tan line taken care of because I wore my sports bra and tank top when we were power washing the house last weekend.  That was a  lot more fun that I thought it would be.  Power Washing is fun when you have someone to take over when the vibration gets to be too much! lol.  Now the house and the walkways look much better.  More curb appeal in a neighborhood where all the houses look the same!

I have also been trying this week to get all the information filled out and completed for getting a substitute teaching job with DODEA (Dept of defense education admin).  I want to get into the schools as a sub and see what they are like before I decide if I want to teach there.  But man oh man are these applications tedious!  I have had to get so much stuff filled out it is crazy.  But I guess that is to be expected with a government organization.  Background checks and all.  Hopefully they will accept me!



So to end this post I just have to tell you all that I AM FINE and THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY about me.  I will get my stitches out next Friday and will heal up just fine.  I still plan on getting out there and doing everything that Guam has to offer, it is just gonna take a little longer to get there.  :)

long lost days and couch beds

So I have not been keeping up with this in the past few days considering I have been pretty busy. Thus I am going to do some quick over-views of the past few days so that I can get myself to bed. I haven't been sleeping all that well for a while now and I need to get my beauty rest. On Sunday Matthew and I went back to Grace Assembly (our old/home church) for the late service. We wanted to go back to Grace since we are doing the mission trip through them and they were having a young adult meeting after church. The young adults meeting was pretty great. We went to Forks Cafeteria in downtown Wake Forest and had a room to ourselves reserved. I love getting everyone together. There are always great conversations. After we ate we had a little talk about getting young adults going again and about this new adopt a school program that they wanted us to get involved in. I am feeling pretty siked about the adopt a school program because it is with a middle school and we would get ...

To Start Again

Hello everyone! I know, I know, it has been a REALLY long time since I last posted anything here.  We have since been in Great Lakes, IL for a little over 2 years now and I feel like we have made ourselves a comfortable home and extended group of friends that are like family in the area.  But of course, like true Navy fashion, and God's design for life, nothing goes according to plan. I thought here in Great Lakes there would be little to no chance of Matthew ever getting deployed. God had a different plan.  Long story short, he is now deployed overseas and has been for almost 3 months.  He will be back sometime around May 2019 (that's about 10 months total). I've been having a lot of thoughts about how my days and plan are escaping me and I have trouble remembering what I've did yesterday let alone last week.  And so, I've decided to try and take back up on the blogging.  Hopefully it will be therapeutic for me and as well as help me when I want to ...

worst monday ever! (5/24/10)

So as my title says, last Monday was one of the worst Mondays that I have had in a long time. It started off early in the morning, 7:30 am, and if you know me then you know that is not a good time of morning for me to be waking anyway. But that had little to do with the bad day. I had to drive up to Louisburg to get my mom's prescription from her doctor's office because she was in SC with my Nina. Nina had been in the hospital since Thursday with complications that they could not quite pinpoint. So I set out early to get the paper that would allow me to get the prescription filled so that I could meet my Aunt at 10:30 when she was going to leave for SC. About half way through my journey to the doctor's office my car started making weird noises and shaking slightly. I called Matthew with a slight air of laughter in my voice and told him that if I broke down that he would have to call in late to work. Mind you I did not think anything of it because didn't think ...
