4 weeks!!!

WOW!! We only have one month of deployment left. CRAZY!!!!

Things have settled down a bit since my grandparents left. I am working out double time since I didn't do much while they were here. Trying to run at least 3 miles a day. Also, tonight was the first time I had sugar in 3 days. I had some yummy peanut butter corn flake balls that Lauren brought over Sarah's tonight. Those were soooo good!! I guess it wasn't too much sugar?!?!

Things are really starting to sneak up on me. I have tons of things to finish up around this house before ryan gets home, one of which is painting our bedroom. It's about 25% done and I did about 3% today during Nicole's nap. I still have a few pictures to hang and I need to set up our guest room.

We've decided to save our money and stay here for the holidays. Bitter sweet but I am hoping I can convince my mom and sister to make their way here. I mean I have lived here for 5 years and they have only came out once!! I am also trying to get Ryan to take me to Maui for my (our) birthday in February. We have quite a bit of money saved up for a new roof in Florida but its looking like USAA might pay for it! Hopefully! If they do, we'll pay off our credit card and then with the extra left over I hope we can use for a trip. We'll see. I'll keep you updated!

Well it's 9:30 and I am really tired...ugh im getting old. Time for bed!!

Aloha!

Goodbye to Fun



My grandparents left today :-(

We did many fun things while they were here. I am so proud of Dedad for climbing Koko Head and Mema for keeping up with us at Pearl Harbor, Mighty Mo, and the botanical gardens! Enjoy these pictures from their visit:

We all had a great, busy time. Hoping I get to go home soon to visit everyone else!
