You learn something new every day

Little did I know I would be taking my husband to his very first *youth conference!

And get this . . . his first Youth DANCE!

I'm shaking my head even now.

HOW can you grow up in Utah (Mormon or not!?!) and never attend either one!

(someone even asked us on Friday night "How did you two EVER end up together!?)

True to his convictions - he still wouldn't get up and dance.

But together we made a killer dish washing team!

* youth conference (pronounced confernz) is basically a church sponsored "retreat" for ages 14-18.

What does a "LCDR select" look like?

A lieutenant.

Congrats Guy - (ahem) I mean Sir.

BIBA Chamorritas!

Meet L

T and his ladies . . . Maria, Terri, Lil and Dorothy

I've referred to them several times - so I thought you should actually see them.

I begged and pleaded for a few weeks to get this photo. They always found an excuse to not be in front of the camera.

They spoil the LT. They are his "suppliers" that contribute to David's pending membership in their many clubs: Gout, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.

He broke their hearts yesterday when he informed them he really needed to take a break from RICE. They quickly came back with a solution for him . . . "Diet rice! You know, Jasmine".
I guess they'll just have to save the Calrose for the extra special occasions (because we all know they can turn anything into a special occasion)

Biba Inarajan!

The people of Guam love to turn ANYTHING into a party!

(or in local terms - a fiesta!)

Almost every month of the year you can find a different village (neighborhood) celebrating their own patron saint.

We were invited to Inarajan's village fiesta by Ann Flores - one of the ladies at David's work.

Prolific amounts of people, beer and FOOD!

The poor pig had no idea what he was in for when he heard he was coming to the party.

David wears his bestowed title of chamhaole with pride.

He kept asking if he should chenchule’* - in which they would all laugh and pat his arm in response. "You even sound locol!"

*Chenchule' is a contribution. Whether that be in the form of labor, food, drink or other supplies. However, money has become the most favored form of chenchule'.
