Hello all:
Well, we went fishing last Saturday and guess what we saw. ORCAS!!! AKA = Killer Whales. Pretty awesome sight and yes, they were Orcas. We saw the white on them. We saw about 3 or 4 of them.. It was pretty cool.. I got some video of them, however, they are at a distance and you have to stop the video at certain seconds to see them. But when we turned around in the boat, we had a couple of them following us...It was really cool.. I was hoping to get a pics of them, when they were that close to us, but I couldn't get the camera in time. Oh well. Cowboy (David's Dad) told me the other day that he had given a snap-shot of the video to the Environmental and Safety Department and they confirmed it. So yeah, we saw Orca's! =)
David told me the other night where he is taking me while we go on vacation. We're going to Seattle, Washington after our visit in HSV. He said that it's funny that I mentioned that I saw Orca's because, we're actually going to go watch the "herd" of Orca's when we go up to Seattle. Whale-watching. So, yes, it's really ironic that I saw them here and that we're going to see them as they migrate to Seattle. We're also going to eat dinner at the Space Needle on our Anniversary (15th of July) and then we're going to do a couple of other things while in Seattle. Can't wait till July.
On the note of vacations, I'll be going to Pohnpei with The Galloways and some other people here on Kwaj at the end of May (Memorial Day weekend to be specific). Can't wait to go. I'll make sure that I take lots and lots of pics while I'm in Pohnpei.
Just as a side note, I concur with David on his blog when he says "know Sarah and I are flying thousands of miles to spend time with everyone (everyone, not just one or two sets of folks) so we have to split our time between everybody and then try to take some time for ourselves..."
Let's see, what else has been going on.. I have been reading the book "The DaVinci Code".. It's a really good book. I'm on Chapter 58 right now and boy.. it's interesting.. Which is funny.. 'cause I don't really read any books per say, but Lexy (David's mom) had suggested for me to read it because it was really interesting. So yeah.. it's a good book. Everyone should read it.
Work has been going.. Same ol crap, just a different day.. I'm really wanting to go over to the Computer Tech Dept.. I've already let management know that I'm interested.. so we'll see what comes out of it.
David and I had been talking about me possibly going out to Afghanistan whenever we decide to 1. get engaged 2. get married 3. whenever I get fed up with the company or when my contract ends... So, first things first. Gotta get engaged first ;) David..... =D He says that he's liking it over there and has hadn't any problems or whatnot and it's safe.. So I have been thinking about the idea of it.. I wouldn't go out there by myself, but I would if David and I were married and that we'll be together out there.. Plus, we'll make some MAJOR bank out there and we could have a really nice place when we decide to go wherever we're going to go after the whole Kwaj/Afghan thing.. We still got quite some time, but yeah.. it's a thought.. How I see it, is that I should get my options open.. Like I did, when I decided to get a job outside of AL.. Keep the options open, 'cause you never know what opportunities will be waiting for you. I would have NEVER thought, that I would be living on a tropical island, seeing KILLER WHALES!!! =)
Other than that, it's been going.. Bingo is tonight.. Looking forward to that...
Well, I believe that's about it.. I'll post later on.

4 Fishes
Well.. It's been a few days since I posted. I just bought my tickets for my vacation in July. I also bought my tickets to Pohnpei in May, so I am certainly looking forward to going on vacation soon. I will take more pictures this time around when I go to Pohnepi since I'll be there longer than 2 days :)
Me and David's 9 month anniversary was back on the 15th. David called me first thing in the morning to tell me Happy Anniversary. I thought, that it was very sweet of him to do so.
David is doing good in Kandy-land (as he calls it). It says that it's dusty and all, but he's surviving. We talk to each other and email each other often, so it's all good. Though, I do miss him very very much. Everytime I talk to him on the phone, I tell him that he should post stuffs to his blog and he keeps telling me "I'll do it THIS weekend".. yeah.. sure ;) 2 weekends have come and gone and still.. no new posts.. heheh. I'm just pickin' on him.
Other than that, it's been going. Yesterday, David's dad and a couple of people, including myself, we on a fishing expedition and it was fun. We were trying to get a Marlin, but the Marlins weren't copperating with us, so I told Cowboy that maybe we should continue on and catch other fishes.. However, we did catch 2 Mahi Mahi, 1 Yellowfin and 1 Rainbow Runner. They were pretty cool. I took some pics of the fishes before we cut them up (I'll post them on PBASE later on). That coolest thing we saw was the Dolphins and Sharks. That was really really cool, though, I should have taken some pictures of them, but I was getting sprayed with water on most of the boat trip and I didn't feel like getting my camera wet.
Well, I did get sunburned again. I put on some sunblock, but I guess it all washed away because of the water that was hitting him.. so I have racoon eyes again (people here at work, have been making fun of me).. but it's all good. My knees are a bit red too.. It should become a tan in a couple of days and hopefully, I won't peel.
I'm pretty tired today, but it's because we went out fishing all day and I'm pretty sore from the workout I did back on Saturday. So, I'm trying to recover from that...
Well, I am making some progress on the whole weight lost challenge here on Kwaj. I've lost 8 pounds now.. I'm hoping to make it to 10 pounds lost before next Monday (when we do the measurements and all). That will be the finale.. We'll know who wins the $$$ (for whoever, loses the most inches and whanot).. So that should be interesting. I know that I'm not going to win anything, but at least I tried.. (well I tried more in the last 6 weeks), since the first 6 weeks were being occupied with David and his upcoming adventures (Afghanistan).. I think I did pretty well.. I still got some more weight to lose, but I'm getting there. I'm not going to stop, when this challenge is over and done with.. I'll keep on going. I have noticed that my clothes are fitting alot better and I'm looking sexier now than ever! =) Just kidding, but my clothes are fitting alittle looser than they did before. Amazing what 8 pounds will do.
Neways.. Well, I have rambled on and on.. I guess that's about it.. I'm sure I'll think of something else to post later on..
Take care!

Vacation Confirmed
It's confirmed! We're going on vacation on July 6th - July 21st. We'll be getting into Houston on the 7th, spend a day or two there and then head to HSV and visit the parents and friends there and then.. I have no idea where we're going.. Though.. David said that he has a "plan".. It's a surprise to me.. Though, I'm not really happy about surprises, but David hasn't failed me yet! =) I'm doing pretty good. My sunburn on my face has pretty much went away.. It didn't take long for me to "even out", though, I believe me drinking 64 oz of water helped, just because it re-hydrates the skin and all.. Well, I don't have much to say for right now. I'm not sure if I had posted this earlier, but me and David's dad will be going after Marlin on the 16th of April.. I'm soooo looking forward to that!!!! I'll take lots and lots of pictures!!
Ya'll take care!

3 Fishes!
This is what we caught!
Mahi Mahi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahi_mahi
Dog Tooth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogtooth_Tuna
AKU http://www.hawaii.gov/dbedt/seafood/aku.html
Not very big fishes but we still caught them! I only got a couple of pictures of them and I'll post them on the PBase website soon.
Well, I definitely got a sunburn on my face! =) When I took off my sunglasses, I look like a racoon! Red all over the face and white on the eyes =) Well, at least I won't have sunspots on my eyes, since I think that the eyes are the most sensitive part on the body. I had fun none-the-less.
Now, I'm really really tired.. more tired now than I was last week, which is hard to believe, because I was so tired last week. I guess the sun really takes a number on the bod and all.. So, yeah.. I'm sleepy.. I went home for lunch and I was just about to fall asleep.. I'm hoping that I can get to bed early tonight, but I got alot to do before I go to bed.. 1. Start laundry 2. Go to the Gym. 3. Come back from Gym and hang up the clothes 4. Eat Dinner 5. Go for a walk with Sabrina 6. Take a shower and hopefully go to bed.. So.. yeah, I'm not getting to bed till late.. and to me, late is like 10...
I guess that's about it.. Got an email from David saying that he's about 85% sure that his vacation request will be granted for July, so, it looks like we'll be going on vacation in July.
That's about it.. Ya'll take care!!
