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.  :)

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 ...

Your Due Date Is...

On today's blog I wanted to share with you all the ups and downs of determining out due date.  For those of you that don't know doctors use the first day of your last period to determine your due date early on.  When we found out that I was pregnant that date was estimated at August 27 2014.  For those of you that know me and know that that date is my birthday, I was pretty excited.  I thought it was pretty cool that our baby's due date was on my birthday. The next time that we came around to getting a chance to estimating the due date was at our 12 week ultrasound.  Now it is kind of hard to determine exactly when you are twelve weeks along if you don't know the exact date of conception.  So we estimated based on the doctor's method of using the first day of my last period and went to have the ultrasound around that mark.  According to that ultrasound, the 'dating ultrasound' I was further along that we originally thought.  However, baby girl d...

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 ...
