Updates Updates & Updates!

We are officially in hawaii!

this was a HUGE step in ending this deployment.. thank the good Lord!

Aiden and I arrived April 18th and Heather Villareal picked us up from the airport....did I mentioned she lea'ed me? ;)  She was kind enough to open her home to until our house was ready on the 21st, (we ended up getting the keys the 20th) and my car wasn't supposed to be here until April 28th and it got here the 19th! (Early works for me!)

Ill go ahead and some up the 16 hour journey in 10 points :

1. Yes, when on a military PCS flight you are allowed 3 suitcases that are each 70 lbs and I somehow managed to overpack.
2. Aiden thinks its funny to poop all up his back 2 hours into our 2nd flight.
3. He ended up riding in his jacket and a diaper.
4. If you  have a cute baby, random flight attendants may steal him from you.
5. People in 1st class don't enjoy screaming babies.
6. In 1 day you can start out with 60 degree weather, stop and see snow, then end in mass humidity
7. Make sure you read car rental policies btwn the lines before making a reservation
8. My white white baby doesn't adapt well to the heat
9. Starbucks is amazing, wherever in the world you are
10. When being awake for 30 some hours plus, you tend to get a little delerious

The movers got here on the 21st and started to fill my house with our HHG :) I was SO excited for this, for obvious reasons haha. They banged up/lost some stuff...and Im still pretty annoyed with this... I had to go and buy a new crib for bug because the hardware to his went MIA, and our bedroom furniture is scratched to pieces. Yay for TMO claims! haha :)

I have been SO busy since we got here and moved in, trying to set up/organize the house and get everything in its place. I really wanted Patrick to be able to come home and just relax... and not worry about painting this, or hanging that...or moving a bunch of stuff.... so instead, fellow Marine wife Heather and I have pretty much tackled my house haha (thanks to Mandie for her help as well!) Between watching best buy employees slam the trunk on my new tv, twining her trunk closed because the entertainment center wouldn’t fit and busting out her power tools… we’ve been on a role, oh-and putting the crib together….that was SO much fun. (sarcasm noted) so Big thanks to her!

Also-we’ve been doing multiple walks a day… and I’ve been alternating 30 day shred and p90 the last couple of days, Im down to 132! Whoop whoop!

Today is May 2 which means we are RIGHT at 95% done with this deployment, HECK YES.

"May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other” 

Genesis 31:49
