Wow, I don't even know where to begin...

I have been putting off getting the blog going because there would be just too much catch up to do. So I then decided some is better than none, right? I'm not going to start where I left off back in December, obviously you are all disappointed, but it's just not going to happen. I am just going to through in some pictures to get you caught up to the present. It also doesn't help that they've changed things since the last time I was on this. Bare with me here we go......

A real quick run through...
Moved in with Hollie and Kids and mom while Robby worked in Boise. Joined the Navy, then Robby left for Officer Training in Rhode Island. He was gone for 2 1/2 months, but he graduated with flying colors and is officially an Officer of the United States Navy! We then packed up everything we own and shipped it to Guam. Thank goodness the military does that for you. We made it to Guam on October 17ish.(honestly I don't remember) The flight was long but the kids did great, or so I'm told. I took some "calming" drugs because of my fear of flying over the ocean, crashing and if I survived getting eaten by sharks. Anyway, I took those and then woke up in Japan, 10hours later. The kids claim I colored with them and played with them, but I honestly don't remember one thing about that flight. We then continued to Guam, it was about another 3 hour flight.

Once in Guam our sponsor, LT Commander Roger Bunch picked us up from the airport. It took two trips to the hotel for them to get all our luggage there. It was beautiful!! We staid at a resort called The PIC (Pacific Island Club) we loved it there. The kids had a great time because there is a water park right on the beach. So needless to say the kids and I spent the next week playing while Robby started figuring out his new duty.




























We celebrated Halloween while we were living at the PIC. This was pretty interesting because the PIC is the top vacation spot for Japanese. Guam is to the Japanese like Hawaii is to us. So needless to say there are A LOT of tourists here. Anyway, so the kids got all dressed up and we headed out to the base to do some trick-or-treating. As we left the Japanese tourists absolutely loved seeing the kids. They were all saying stuff like... ga;skfrj;ewhdshjnfs, they are so sweet. No, but really they are a very kind culture.

























After living in the hotel for two weeks we were finally able to move into a house on Big Navy. Its a four bedroom but the rooms are only 9x9. Pretty small, but we are all together! (sounds cheesy, but I mean it)



The kids quickly found a way to have fun in our new home. We don't have carpet anywhere due to the high humidity and flooding from typhoons. So we get to walk on hard tiles 24/7. But as you can see the kids really enjoy it.

Our kitchen is actually not too bad. It looks really small but we have lots of cupboard space.

The kids started school during our last week at the PIC. Gage is in ALL DAY Kindergarten, Maddie in 3rd and Lizzy in 4th. They are all doing great as little Sea Hawks here at the McCool School.
