Long overdue

So I know it's been awhile since I have updated. I'm trying to remember all the things we've done these past two weeks!

One Tuesday Jeremy got off work early and so we went to the beach. It was nice to be able to go on a weekday and get some sun!







My friend Becca from ACU came to the island with her family and fiance for Spring Break. I got to meet up with her for lunch on Thursday and it was so much fun to be able to hang out with someone from ACU and catch up on what's going on! I loved being able to see her! Thanks for going to lunch with me Becca!

Sunday we went to a wedding on the beach. The couple was from the mainland and called our church to find a preacher. Our friend Bill did the wedding and we were the witnesses. It was really nice.

On Friday Jeremy got off work really early and we spent the day running errands. That night we went to a famous steakhouse called Buzz's and it was really good. We also went to this ice cream place where you get a HUGE bowl. Then there are about 12 different yogurt flavors and you get to fill your bowl with any kinds you want. Then there is every kind of topping imagined and you put whatever you want on your ice cream. Then they weigh it and you pay by weight. It's AWESOME! I love putting tons of toppings on mine and not having to pay for each one individually.
It was also our 9 month anniversary and I really wanted some cake so I made a cake and decorated it quickly!


Saturday we had a mandatory family fun day for Jeremy's battalion. It was a cookout and they had activities for the kids. About halfway through a huge fire broke out behind where they were preparing the food. All the firetrucks came and we stood and watched as they put it all out. It was in the area where they are building new houses so it was a bunch of wood and stuff so it got pretty big. It at least made the mandatory event interesting and no one was hurt. We also look like lobsters because we got sunburned. My neck is bright red and so is Jeremy's face...not good.


Sunday morning we went to church at Pearl Harbor church of Christ just to visit. It was great and everyone was really nice. We met up with a friend Allyson who we knew from Junior Scholars at ACU and her husband and went to eat with them and their friends. It was really great to hang out with people our age who are Christians. We are planning on hanging out with them again this weekend for a bbq.

We have our guests back with us for a few days in between their trips to the other islands. I have a job interview tomorrow at a bank here on base so hopefully that goes well!

Other than that we have just been working on our garden, enjoying walks and runs, doing things at church, and enjoying the nicer weather we are starting to get.

Welcome home Jeremy!

Jeremy is back! We have been enjoying hanging out together all week. I cooked lots of food, snuggled with my husband, and went out to dinner.

I made a delicious salmon dinner one night. Jeremy says it was gourmet. It had oranges, strawberries, onions, peppers, onions, and lots of other ingredients I had never used before. It turned out pretty well I think and we enjoyed it for many days. It was in the Paula Dean cookbook I got for a wedding gift. I've also made a hashbrown casserole upon my husband's request and made another one tonight for potluck tomorrow.

We finally bought our plates, bowls, and mugs tonight and I am very excited. We bought red ones and yellow ones to mix match.





We went out to eat in Honolulu last night to celebrate Valentine's Day and my birthday. It has been raining alll weekend which has not been fun. We wanted to go to the beach today, but that was a no go.

This was from our dinner in Honolulu. (Aunt Sara, he loves the new polos! He's worn both already and they are perfect! Thank you!!!)


Jeremy gave me this purse that he bought in South Carolina. If any of you saw my old purse that was falling apart that I bought in Belize, this one is exactly like it but different colors! I love it!!! The picture isn't very good.


Jeremy turned in his OCS package this week. This means he is trying to become an officer. If it gets past all the boards, we will be moving to Quantico, Virginia sometime in the fall where he will go through officer bootcamp. Pray for us to have peace that wh will get this if it is what God wants. It would make life a lot better for him at work and us at home. I had two papers due this week so I worked on those all week!

Jeremy says he will do a post soon and put pictures up from his trip. We'll see if that happens!

Aloha!
