Island Hopping

It's begun.
I know where we're moving to.
The move won't physically happen until school is out.
However - the mental exodus is creeping in.
Aloha!

Wonder

I was helping Madison with math homework (I really dislike math homework)
As I walked back to my spot in the kitchen (making Cafe Rio salad for dinner) I heard Madison murmur to herself,

"oh MAN! When you look at it that way you're really old!"


I had to do the awkward over the shoulder glance at my own behind.

"My BACKSIDE looks old?!?!" I questioned.


"NO! When you do the math - you were my age 27 years ago."

"You were learning this math 27 years ago. No wonder!"


Crap! Now I'm wondering . . . .

SYTYMG

(So You Think You Miss Guam)
I thought I would serve up a little reality check . . . .

• Gas went up .18 cents. Overnight. On base!

• It's the rainy season.

And the lightening season.

And of course the thunder season.


• We got cold . . . . . OUTSIDE!




• So many millipedes . . . .Everywhere!

• Still no guaranteed ice cream at McDonald's.
• Still coping with cliques!

• The new BX opened up at Anderson. We haven't seen it.
a) I don't want to pack a lunch for the drive up there.
b) Why drive up there if nothing will be in stock. (come on - you KNOW I'm speaking the truth)

• We were up close and personal with the dolphins over the weekend. The babies put on a jumping/spinning show for us while we watched from the comfort of the new tube/jet ski.

It's only fitting

That Madison got her clarinet for 6th grade band
on Tyler's birthday (her uncle).Because "You know . . . . he plays 5 instruments"

A moment to pause . . . .

What started out as a way to give our family a glimpse into our daily lives has opened an amazing new blogging world we had no idea existed.

We still have to remind certain family members (ahem) that we have a blog. . . . . .

But it's been a great tool to keep up with friends and make this world seem smaller every day.

NieNie's story and the power of this "blogging community" just gets bigger and bigger.
