Going Fishin!

I was just invitied to go fishing on Monday! Hopefully I can catch lots of fishes =) Wish me luck!!!

Hello All

Its been a while since my last post so I figured that I would update the blog. Also, I’ve had some people tell me to update it.. so that gives me some more motivation to update. Since the last post, David has arrived in Kandahar, Afghanistan and he says that it’s not too bad.. Weather is ok and its quite dusty. You can check out his adventures on his blog (I have a link to it to the right). I’ve been talking to David almost every day on the phone and if not by phone, by email. We decided to take our vacation sometime in July.. still working out the details on that. I can’t wait to see him again.. I know, I know, it’s only been like a month, but ya know.. I used to see him 24/7 .. so yeah. He told me this morning that he has Vonage (phone service), so I’ll be able to call him (dialing a US number), so he doesn’t use up his calling card on me and all and it doesn’t cost me lots of bucks for international calling… He also has his internet setup at his place, so he can email me on his off day without having to go to work to use the internet.. David, I better get more emails from you! Hehehe, just kidding =)

On another note, I’m still here on Kwaj, surviving… I haven’t been sleeping very well the past week or so.. Not sure why.. Though, the other evening (around 6) I went out and rode my bike from one end of the island to the other end and then walked my bike back to the BQ.. I didn’t get home till 8 or 830 and then I tried going sleep, but was wide awake till about 11.. Unfortunately, I had to go into work early the next day, so I was dragging a bit at work on Tuesday.. But yeah.. not sure why I hadn’t been sleeping well.. I guess it’s alittle noticeable.. David’s dad had came into IT and noticed that I had some puffiness under the eyes.. I had noticed that when I went to the restroom just a bit ago.. Oh well.. It’s all good.. =)

Since I’ve been back, I’ve lost 5 pounds.. =) I have gotten back on my diet and drinking water (the recommended 64oz). I have also started working out again, which I’m sure contributes to me losing weight… I’m hoping to lose about 30 pounds and I’ll be at my ideal weight.. I should be able to make it. Just gotta keep working out and dieting…

Let’s see what else.. I wanna go fishing and scuba-diving soon.. I have been itching to go fishing for a while now.. but it’s been pretty bad out there with the currents and stuffs.. so, hopefully soon we can go fishing (Davids’ dad and me)

My parents anniversary is coming up on the 31st of March.. Happy Anniversary you guys! It’s been 34 years now and I wish you guys many more years to come! Love you both! Hey Dad, take mom on a vacation.. say… to Kwajalein! =)

I think that’s about it…I’ll try to update more later on.. I’ll also try to update the Pbase website with new pictures..

Take care all!

A rough day

Hello all again.

Well, lots of stuff has happened since the last post. David had decided back in January that he was going to accept a job in Afghanistan. I'm ok with him leaving, though I do in fact have my days. He's on a one year contract and then he's coming back to me :) He'll be making some money over there, so that will help us, whenever we decide to get married or whatever the future will bring us :) Let's see. His last day on Kwaj was on Feb 26th and we decided that before he started training at Ft. Benning, GA, that we would take a vacation together and spend some time with each other and he could meet my parents and all. Well, meeting the parents went off without a hitch.. Mom and dad just love him and my grandparents had came down from Nashville, TN and they love him too. I knew they would! =) We spent some time in Huntsville, AL (where I'm from) and we also spent some time in Calvert, TX (where he's from). I really like his parents house.. that's the house that I want.. nice brick rancher that feels like home when you step inside. We went to David's cousins' wedding and I had a blast. I met the bride and groom and they seem like really nice people. I met David's other brother, Scott and his girlfriend Beth. They both seem pretty nice. Fun was had by all.

In a week and a half, we made it through TX (Calvert, Austin, Houston) and Huntsville/Madison, AL.. That's alot of flying.. at least I'm accruring miles.. and hopefully I can fly first class from here to Hono whenever I take a vacation... =) *crossing fingers*

It was pretty hard to say bye to David when I had to fly back to Kwaj.. Man. that was hard.. ugh.. just makes me sad when I think about him not being here with me on Kwaj..

Moving on... when I got back on Kwaj, I had some bad news come to me when I got off the airplane.. One of our friends, Ralph had passed away the morning that I got back on Kwaj (which was last Thursday).. Man.. that was rough too.. Ralph and Sabrina (his fiance) were supposed to get married in April.. Not sure what had happened to Ralph, but some people think that it was a heart-attack or something.

Last night, we had a memorial service for Ralph and lots of people showed up. I'm glad too, because, I know that Sabrina appreciated it. It was a rough night but we all got through it. Even me :)

Neways.. Well, this post is just getting long, so I'll post more later on..

David, If you're reading this.. I love you sweetie. I miss you and I'm always thinking about you.
