Employment!

Woohoo!  I officially have a job!  I am the new Operations Coordinator at the Campus Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.  Wow, that’s a long title.  Basically I run the Meeting and Events Services office, so I make sure that events are planned and executed properly.  Although really right now I don’t have [...]

Days 2-5

First of all, I’m sorry for not posting pictures and updates sooner.  The internet at our hotel is basically non-existent, so we are currently at a Starbucks paying for internet and waiting for our appointment to look at an apartment.  The last few days have been a bit of a whirlwind.  We haven’t exactly been [...]

Aloha

Well we have arrived in Hawaii.  It was overwhelming right off the bat.  After a super fun car ride/drive to St. Louis, we travelled on three differenet planes to arrive in Honolulu at 5:30am.  It was probably the most exhausting trip ever.  One of the other lieutenants in A’s troop whose name is David met [...]

Running Away

Did you ever consider running away when you were little?  I don’t think I ever did.  I always told my parents that I would go to Delta College and live in the neighbor’s house because I knew where both of them were.  I think not knowing where things were really freaked me out.  I don’t [...]

And thus it starts . . .

First of all, thanks to everyone for the well wishes and for reading my blog. I’ve had more people read it in the past week than in the entire time I’ve been writing it! (250+ in one day — insane!) As I begin to weed my way through actually being an Army wife, I’m starting [...]

Wedding Bells

I am officially married and blissful. The day was beautiful, except for a bit of wind. I managed to have a pretty little bouquet thrown together for me and we had found the prettiest out-of-the-way corner of Colonial Williamsburg to have the ceremony. It was all green and under a gorgeous tree. As perfect as [...]

Holy Crap

Well it’s been awhile. I’m not much further on my way to losing that 15 pounds, but I’m working on it. It’s amazing how hard it is to get yourself started on working out regularly when you haven’t done it in awhile. It’s depressing, honestly, which makes it harder for me get started because I [...]

A New Year, A New Me . . .

Thus we have said our goodbyes to 2008 and with a new year, as always, come new resolutions.  I’m going for a classic this year: go on a diet, get in shape and lose about 15 pounds.  A is off to Fort Sill to play army for two months and having no classes I am [...]

Stress and Excitement

I’ve finally finished Swell! Yay! I just have to block it so that it doesn’t look like a pancake. I hope it doesn’t end up being too big. Will said he doesn’t care, he’s excited to wear it all the time. I doubt that that is really true, but whatever. So A got his official [...]

Oh Birthday!

Well, it came and has now passed.  It was actually a pretty fun day.  I went to **sparkle sparkle magic dust** Threadbear.  It was a sensory overload.  I walked in and I didn’t even know where to start, there was yarn everywhere.  I just walked in circles and touched everything.  I loved it.    So [...]
