House Hold Goods Have Arrived!

I know it has been a long time since I last put up a post but there really hasn't been much going on here besides a rain storm.  The Typhoon that hit China on Sunday left a tail end that is came over us and kept us in the rain for 5 days.  We ended up mostly watching movies and shopping around without actually buying much.

Then we got the news:  Our shipment of household goods would come in on Monday!  We were so excited to see that truck pull up in front of our house!  That excitement soon turned into a sense of being overwhelmed with all the boxes that were being somewhat strategically placed throughout our house.

It is now day 2 of the unpacking process and I can proudly say that all of the boxes have been unpacked (even if the stuff isn't all put away yet).  Day one consisted of mostly kitchen duty.  A friend of mine (Jackie) came over and helped me get through all the cleaning and organizing of the kitchen.  I think I ended up running the dish washer 5 times.  I also did alot of orgainzing the boxes into their respective rooms on Day 1.
Day 2 has been the unpacking and situating of everything else in the boxes.  I have done 4 loads of laundry and have 3 more to do until all of our linens and extra clothes are clean.  I have some pictures to show the before of what the house looked like when everything was brought in.

Lots and Lots of boxes to go through.  An update on the progress will come soon!

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 ...

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 ...

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...
