I Love Guam! Part 4

Guam is full of trendy little shops and restaurants. Here is Planet Hollywood, but they also have Hooters, California Pizza Kitchen, Friday's, and Chili's. The shops reminded me alot of Vegas--Louis Vuiton, Chanel, etc.

This was happy little Mya BEFORE we entered the dark tunnel of the aquarium. She  loved seeing the fish in the gigantic tank.

Claire outside the aquarium. It would have been so much easier if they'd have cooperated and stood side by side ;)

A turtle.

Mya cuteness.

Claire cuteness. Again, I am mesmerized by those eyes. Gorgeous.

This is Mya inside the aquarium. THis is also the expression that she wore throughout her visit. Ha. I think the idea of being surrounded by water/fish kind of freaked her out (it was a tunnel).

This was one huge fish. I am not sure how old it is, but he looked big and nasty.

I love that Claire is finally of the age that she can satisfy my goofy requests. HELP!! She's being eaten by a shark.

Adorning the walls outside the aquarium where handpainted turtles. This was Claire's favorite. Imagine that--it is pink!

Claire and Mya in the lobby before we left on our evening outing. Notice the haze--there was such a temperature shift from the air conditioned room/elevator to the open lobby that my camera lense fogged.

I'm so glad you had such a great time in Guam. Your pictures are fantastic but they make me so sad because your girls are growing up so fast!

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought
