24 and many more years to go

Today is my birthday. Oct 15 and also my 15 week pregnant mark. Everything went great for my weekend so far. I love it! Lots of shopping with my friends and lots of goodies to show.  Thank you everyone for all the birthday wishes!

Pregnancy Update:
I am 15 weeks  pregnant today. The stress and fatigue had finally calmed down. entered into my second tri-semester. My baby was taking ALL of my energy and I was scared that I was going to be tired all the time since we were going to be doing a lot of walking but surprisingly, I'm full of energy.  I'm also starting to show a little bit already and  I just think it's the cutest thing ever. I love being pregnant, I really do.

Pictures to come soon....

Little Gift Shop

Nothing like spending a day going around the bases on Okinawa & visiting their Gift Shops. Each base has its own unique shop of things from around the world. This past weekend, I went to the Navy Fleet Gift Shop. They had a ton of stuff! I was amazed. I got a few candles, candle stands (one in which I decided to turn into a headband display), candy jar (not in this post), new headbands and some jewelry!



OMG There is a baby on the way!

YAY!!! Exciting news everyone! A week today, I took a home pregnancy test & found out I was going to have a little one! My husband didn't believe it. So he bought me 2 more home pregnancy test. To make sure that the test was correct, my husband & I went to the doctors on base & had my blood work done. It came back positive. My husband was in suprised! So after 3 home test & a blood work later, I'm now 9 weeks along in my pregnancy. I am super excited & cannot wait to start planning for my little one!

Into God's Kingdom

Recently is week, I lost two of my friends in a motocycle accident. Here is a prayer for you, your families & friends.

Eternal rest grant unto them,
O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.

Amen.

You will be greatly missed Kristie & Ron ! Watch over us & guide us safely.

They both had big hearts & big smiles that can brighten even the cloudest days. I love you & miss you both!

Calling All Wizards

Ten years ago the epic adventures of a young wizard and his friends started. It began a chain reaction of readers and movie go-ers of all ages from elementary school to 99 years old grandparents. Sadly to say, this phenomenal has come to an end with it's latest & last movie of series... Harry Potter! In my own opinion after reading all the books and watching all the movies, I wish it NEVER ended.

Last night a group of friends and I went to see HP7 at an off base theatre in American Village. It was AMAZING!! The movie tickets were resaonable. The same prices you were pay to see it in the states these days. The combo meals were pretty CHEAP & yummy!

A Mid-Summer's Night

Last Wednesday, I had the opportunityto meet Natalie Stovall, Safteysuit & Bowling for Soup. Also got to see them perform. They were all AMAZING! They were the most down-to-earth group of musicans I have met so far while traveling the world. Hope you get to meet them someday!

July 4th Celebration: Air Force Style

Hope everyone had a fun-filled and safe 4th of July. Okinawa had great weather this past weekend. Kadena AB had two major artists come and perform for us at America- Fest on the flightline: Jessie James and 12 Stones. We enjoyed good food, great entertainments and wonderful company. Of course there was fireworks!
