Orcas??

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.
