Chapter 11: 10-29-08

It's been awhile!
A lot has been going on, I don't know where to start.
Update on the Apartment situation.. we were still waiting to hear about the one we had looked at that was supposed to be open soon. We stopped by the office and asked about it, she says December at the earliest =( Too long, we asked if there was anything else available and she told us of a few places, so we are going to look at one on friday that is supposed to be ready in 2-3 weeks. Oh, I so hope that it is nice and that it really will be ready soon! It's just a bummer since we had so many plans already for the apartment we were waiting for.
Tim had a 5-day weekend this past weekend, it was awesome! He hardly ever gets that much time off! Not unless everyone else is also..but since this new sargent has got here he's changed the scheduling for the better and I guess everyone is really happy with it.
Last saturday, we went to our friends baby shower, soo much fun! It was a weird mix of people though because the wife is filipino so all of her filipino friends were there and then there were all these soldiers, and then two wives(incl. me) and one 10 y/o girl..oh and like 3 babies.. We were cramped into their small apartment, same size as tims and mine..quite an experience. We had a lot of fun though. =)
Tim went to a meeting yesterday, and found out we are now able to get command sponsored! More paperwork, yay, but atleast we will be able to ship all our stuff back without going through UPS.

Happy Birthday Daddy!! =)


Today started pretty darn early for me, about 1 am. ughh. I hate being off schedule with sleep, it's so screwed up right now. I do like that I had been waking up at 5 with tim, I know that's odd, but it's nice to get up and make breakfast for him while he showers and be able to sit down together before he leaves instead of him waking me to say goodbye. but 1 am?!? I did fall asleep around 8:30 last night, lame, haha I'm geting old.


Tim had the day off yesterday, he was pretty sick with a sinus headache and all the fun stuff that comes with that so it started out pretty slow. I ran to the store and got him medicine and hot tea, he started to feel better towards mid-afternoon. So, I tortured him in the bathroom and cut his hair. I was actually pretty nervous because I've never cut guys hair before, I didn't do so well with fading on one side but the other looked pretty darn good. he wore a hat to work today haha! I also cut my own hair too, he helped with the back to make sure it was even. Somewhere in the middle of this process he ended up cuting the chain on my neclace!!!! =( Only he would manage to do that, and then continue without noticing.





We went to the real estate office again yesterday to let them know we had OHA now, looks like we have to wait another month before something is available =( hmrph.


Our friends downstairs, Tony and Danika, let us know of their baby shower in a few weeks, they found out their having a boy!! Tony was hoping for a girl, but doesn't every guy want a little baby girl?


I'm in the middle of possibly the best series I have ever read before. Twilight. There are 4 novels, soon to be 5. Margaret let me borrow 1-2 and I didn't think after the first that oh, maybe I should order the next one's now since I finished the first one in 12 straight hours. So, now I am waiting, very impatiently for 3-4, re-reading 1-2! If mythical, romance, fiction novels are your thing, I highly suggest this series. It's outstanding.

10-02-08:Chapter 9

A very crazy thing happened last evening, almost suprising. Tim and I were taking our trash out on our way to go buy some movies at a store down the street. We had just set it out on the curb when this lady hauling a little cart was passing by. As soon as we had set the bags down she jumped on it and was already searching through the bags. I was so suprised by this I couldn't help but give her a nasty look like what do you think your doing?! My first thought was maybe she was looking for recyclables, but then I realized they don't recycle here. Then it dawned on me that this lady was either looking for dinner, or she was searching for our documents to see what she could get. I just looked at Tim and he didn't seem to be bothered one bit. As soon as we were out of hearing distance from the her, I asked "is that lady seriously searching through our garbage? In front of us!" he answered in a matter-of-fact kind of way(like I was supposed to know this) That he was warned people go through everyone's garbage, and we were supposed to shred any documents that would have our s.s.# or anything on them. Of course as we were on our way in, I noticed the garbage bags had been taken. At least it was only our kitchen garbage, so I am certain all that was in there was rotten food and trash...
Note to self: Shred all documents, asians are crazy.
