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.  :)

Moving Right Along

So with the due date nearing and the anticipation of finally being able to hold our precious baby girl, I thought that I would share a little bit of my everyday normal for now!  I am one day away from being 38 weeks along and let me tell you:  I have one active baby inside me!  Yes, she loves to move around and kick/punch mommy in the gut, ribs, and pelvis!  Some of these kicks are so strong that I actually jump!  For those of you that don't believe it could get that bad...oh have I got a treat for you!  I recorded a mere 1.5 min video of my belly!  Now this video is only a small taste of what she does ALL DAY LONG!  And yes at night too!  It's no wonder I have such a hard time sleeping.  So without further ado, here is Ms. Isabella Marie Ohrvall staring in her first movie entitled:  Making Waves in Mommy's Tummy.  :) Update on presentation:  Isabella is still breech and we are diligently trying all that we can to ...

Seated with Christ: An Imaginative Activity

This post is from an imaginative activity prompted from the book "Seated with Christ" by Heather Holleman.  The question posed was: "As an imaginative exercise, describe your seat in the heavenly realms with as precise and vivid detail as possible.  What do you see, hear, smell, taste and feel?  What are you wearing?  What are you experiencing in your mind?"  The following is my answer: I'm seated, comfortable and relaxed.  I have no worries.  All I can physically do is sit and stare at the majesty that is my most indescribable Lord that sits before me.  The most magnificent smells of the Earth can not compare to the wondrous smells that permeate the air here.  They remind me of some of my favorite smells on Earth such as lavender, the beach and pine wood needles; but there is something else entirely in the air that I can not put words to.  The songs of angels saturate the air but seem to fade into the background at the same time. ...

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 ...
