Maui 2010

I haven't gotten around to uploading the pics from the camera, we've hit the ground RUNNING since we got back, and I've had so many doctor's appointments because of my ankle, 2 dentist appts and tomorrow I have a lady check up, and I'm suppose to have another phone session with my therapist, which is a whole other bag of worms, things to do, and NO LICENSE...so I've had to depend on people to take me around places, and I just have to give a big fat THANK YOU to Jackie Roberts!! She is amazing! I honestly don't know how I would have gotten to and from places without her.

I was going to upload the pics from my phone, to just give ya'll a preview!!!

Our plane - super small, but it got us there!

On the plane...

On the way to the hotel I think...I can't remember, lol

Calamari anyone!? YUMMMMMMM

He has missed fresh Krispy Kremes..so we had to go, it's the ONLY Krispy Kreme in the State of Hawaii....

 

Watermelon Margarita!!!!

On a boat...going to go get on a sub!

My birthday present....Steven picked the oyster out of a bowl of water, we blessed it and the lady opened it, it was the neatest thing...

My other birthday present, from myself, lol...it's sprained, doing a lot better now though....

Uhm, I had 2 of these in Maui, they were both so yummmy!

Banana Bread from Halfway to Hana on the road to Hana...it was so good, but we threw away half of it when packing :(

A fling I could really get into, hahaha

Grape bubble gum for my bestie!!!

Sugar Cane grows there like Pot does in Mexico (just kidding)

The beach by our hotel - it was super windy and we got sand in EVERYTHING...hahaha

Hope you enjoyed the pictures, I'm hoping that while Steven is on the Big Island I'll get the ones from the camera onto the computer. He leaves in about a week, so pray for them, they will be gone for a month. But it's really good that they're going, so they can get a lot of training in before Afghan....

Oh and while I'm thinking about it - we have decided to come home in Feb. instead of Dec. because we will have more days saved up and will save money since it isn't going to be a holiday or anything. So this way we can spend more time with each family, and see more people. And we won't have to worry about making sure we see everyone for Christmas, I was really stressing out about that part of it. So just thought I'd let ya'll know!!!

 

And we're OFF

Except we're not really off, the LT still has to work some. But a week from today we'll be in Maui, so we'll be off then!

Today marked the start of Block Leave for 3-7. But this weekend is July 4th, and we have a ton going on. There is a July 4th party type thing for families of the 25th ID on Sunday and Smash Mouth is going to play and there will be fireworks. I am helping our Battery with the booth we are sponsering, which is that color hair spray, and that will be BUSY!

The LT only took off enough time for our trip to Maui to help save some leave for Christmas, so he'll be working most of Block Leave. Which is fine, it will still be a relaxing time, I hope anyways. He'll be pulling Staff Duty all nighters more, but that's just because of Block Leave and only being one of a few who can actually do it. So that is okay with me, it's when he gets it when other's are able to do it too, and he gets picked to do it every time. No fair. But oh well.

We were without 'net for a few days, but we got it back yesterday, but we've been cleaning cleaning cleaning because the house was just a mess, and needed to get cleaned, so I really haven't sat down at the computer until now. So, that is one reason I haven't updated, but I also have been without words, which if you know me is weird. But I just don't know what to talk about. I'm going to try and find stuff to work on for the blog while we have this Block Leave time. I'm super excited!

Oh, I have to go by and pick up a plate I made with other wives at a coffee. I'm sure it's UGLY, but I'll pick it up anyways. Maybe it turned out better than I thought. I definitely want to go back to his place and do something else. They have figures you can paint and take, stuff like piggy banks, bugs, they even have an army tank! Too cute!! And they are super nice!

Anyways, just a quick update! Hope all is well.
