Baby Shower from the Church Family

I had the wonderful honor of being thrown a beautiful baby shower by my church family recently.  It was such a great way to share in the love and excitement of this little girl and I am eternally grateful to all of the girls that helped put it all together.  There were some great decorations, food and lots of fun games!  I had a wonderful time fellow shipping and got lots of cute gifts for baby Ohrvall.  Here are a few pictures from the shower.

Some of the girls having fun playing a game where you had to draw a baby on a paper plate while it was on your head!  It was a little difficult and we had quite a few funny pictures!


My homemade guestbook with advice from each guest on little onesies.  I absolutely loved this idea and the frame and advice is now hanging in baby girl's nursery.  


Cutting the cake.  


Another game where you had to try and get as many cotton balls into the small bowl as possible in just 3 scoops while blind folded. Funny stuff!


Sorry the pictures got really out of order but this is from the drawing game and me choosing the winner.





I appreciated all the great gifts that baby Ohrvall got at this shower!  They will all come in great use! 


The cake was really beautiful and even better tasting! :)


We also had some awesome cupcakes from Infusion.  (Infusion is like Guam's version of Starbucks.)


Lots of food that everyone brought!


All my gifts! :)



Great bath salt party favors!  All homemade too!


Once again I want to thank all the girls that made this possible and for making me feel like I have a family here on Guam! 

Thanks for reading!

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 ...
