THANKSGIVING

My thanksgiving was really good. My turkey turned out really good, and all the other food was really good as well. Here are a few pictures. I hope my family is faving fun at Knott's today. I got a package in the mail this afternoon and I was really happy about it. I got some chex mix, and some cookies, some socks, a cool shirt, my mom picked up my jewelry box for me from Kiddie Kandids and send it to me, and even sent christopher some guitar hero chonies, he was excited about that. I got a note from everyone which was also nice. So thank you very much. I tried to call and say thanks but everyone was probably busy eating chicken. : )

This is a picture of our little family lol, I took a break from cooking. We were waiting for everyone to get to our house.

Christopher made this, it's kind of like the peanut butter, cheerios thing, only he melted a snickers bar in it, he called it monkey poop. Yeah, I don't know either... haha

This is a picture of my bomb stuffing.

This is Christopher carving my masterpiece.

I made these yams, Christopher liked them. So did Danielle's husband Greg, they were the only two who liked yams. More for them.

These are the greens that Danielle made, they were so bomb, I ate so much of them.

I made some cheddar biscuits red lobster style, they were pretty good.

This is Danielle & Gregg's son Elijah, he is so cute, he was trying to help me do the dishes.

This was our table of deliciousness.

Some Pictures

Ok so here are a few pictures of our house, I will be taking more I just need to charge the battery for my camera. : )

Alrighty, so this is our car port I guess you would call it.


This is the outside of our house, we live on the second floor.


This is our couch and coffee table.

This is our kitchen : ) When we moved in, it was a new fridge but it doesn't have an ice maker.

This is our dinning room, we rarely eat there.

This is the other side of the living room, and Christopher in the doorway.

This is our balcony, it's a nice place to sit out and chill.


This is our backyard view, :

By my sister's request....

I am going to talk about where I live, Hawaii. It is defenitly a vacation spot. It rains a lot here and there isn't as much to do. We don't have a lot of restaurants. I am so tired of Chili's. We don't have Applebees, no Marcelino's, no Red Lobster, no nothing really. See we live in Wahiawa on Schofield Barracks. The PX on base sucks and the commissary is worse then the Staters in apple valley times like a million, I hate it with a passion. The only store we really have is Wal Mart. We don't have any regular grocery stores, we just have Food Land. You don't want to shop at Food Land unless you want to pay about 6 bucks for a bag of chips. I do live about 30 minutes away from the Navy base in Pearl Harbor, and I love their NEX. It's my favorite place to shop, we bought our couch there. Their stuff is cheaper than the PX and the NEX is HUGE. I do live pretty close to the Dole Plantation and a beautiful beach North Shore. I have also met some pretty cool people by living here. So it's not all bad. I like my house for the most part, housing sucks though. I called them once to fix our drain in the shower because it was clogged and it took them forever to finally come, I had to call like 4 times, and he came and got all the hair out of the drain, and what does he do with it? He puts it in the toilet and leaves it. So I go in there to use my facilities and there in wads of hair in my thrown, so now it doesn't flush right. I was so mad. The coolest thing about living here has to be the people though, well most of them... we have made some pretty good friends being here. Christopher's friend that he met in basic and got stationed here as well is currently in Iraq, he emails us from time to time, I told him one day I would send him some cookies. Also my friend Stefanie's husband is in Iraq as well, she is coming over tonight to have dinner with us and she is bringing over Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 so we can watch it. I do have weird and annoying neighbors though. So here is a couple funny stories, there in one lady who lives in our circle that everyday at about 5:30-6pm she walks to the stop sign and just sits there, and everday she is wearing weird high heels and a different color wig, she's an odd one, I don't think she's harmful, just weird. I think he husband may be deployed, I don't know if that is the cause of her being weird, but she's an odd one. One day Christopher was putting together the Futon in the spare room and his tools and fallen and one of our neighbors called the Military Police because they assumed Christopher may be trying to kill me. I was amazed at that one, I don't know which neighbor it was to this day. Anyway Hawaii is really pretty and has good pineapple. They also have a really cool swapmeet on sundays at Aloha stadium, that is also where they play the Pro Bowl. Later today I will post pictures since I am sure people want to see our house.

Happy Holidays, I don't know about that....

So I heard my brother and Nicole are having a boy. That is pretty awesome I will have my first nephew. I am excited, I am going to send them something. Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming, usually I am pretty excited, and this year I am not so much, I wish I could be with my family. My whole family is getting together and eating my Grandpa's famous Chex Mix, my mom will be making turkey, and all the goodies. I miss everyone, and when I say everyone I mean it. I miss my Mom, we don't always agree on stuff, and I sure did get some of her stubborness, but she is my Mom and I wouldn't trade her for anyone, I know I have let her down and made her mad, pissed, and dissapointed, I wish I could take everything I ever did to her back, I really do. I miss my dad, I miss my Dad and all the random stuff we would do and think it was funny, like knocking on eachothers bathroom walls, all the ways to say luv ya, slug bugs, slug bug vans, and there has even been slug bug station waggons. I think its pretty obvious I have my Dad's weird, goofy sense of humar. I miss my Grandpa, he is probably the coolest old man I know. My sister is pretty cool even though we didn't get along too well growing up, I feel close to her now, and I am praying things work out for her because she has come a long way and takes care of my neices. My brother, who I used to follow around everywhere is about to be a father, and I won't be there sucks, I can't wait for the day I get to hold my nephew for the first time. On a happier note I am having thanksgiving at my house, so we are having a few people over and me and my friend Danielle are going to attempt to cook a turkey, that should be fun, and we are having everyone bring a dish, Danielle is also making greens and she makes some good ones let me tell you. I have started doing some Christmas shopping and some people are easy, others are hard. I know what I am going to get most people. It would be nice if I could give it to them in person, but now I know what my sister had to go through, it's not easy. I will call my Mom's house on thanksgiving though to talk to everyone and that will be nice. At least I will get to hear everyone's voice. Today it has been raining off and on all day, I like it, I think it's peaceful for some reason. Well I hope everyone has a good weekend. : )

Halloween FUN

Yeah my puppy is a Bumble Bee. He didn't like it too much. I thought he looked really cute. Halloween was fun, we got a few Trick or Treaters, and a few people came over for a potluck, we played some games and watched some scary movies. Nothing too big, but it was fun.

IT'S THE BAMMA!

Who let the Dogs out?

Sounds like we had two new baseball dogs enter the family. My sister's dog Gibby is really cute. I recently got a baseball pup at my house too. His name is Jeter. He is half chihuahua and half fox terrier. He is little, he is only about to be 8 weeks I believe. He is a pain to potty train.
We are pretty much all moved into our house, finally.
All of our household goods arrived and I had fun finding stuff my mom and Grandpa and my sister had given me. All of it arrived safely.
I am planning on using my crock pot for the first time tomorrow for dinner. I am working at the School on base, which is pretty fun. I tried to work at the Seagull Academy but it was at least a 30 minute drive and even worse when you hit good old Hawaii traffic. I got offered a job at the Solomon Elementary School on base which is right down the Street from my house, I love it. I work mostly with the Special Needs kids and they are so fun and sweet. Plus I make more money then I would at the Seagull Academy by like 3 dollars an hour, it makes quite a difference when milk it near 9 dollars a gallon if you don't buy it on base, and on base they run out fast.
Our house is two bedroom and we are on the second floor, this is where house breaking Jeter becomes a pain. We have training mats down for him on the tile by the kitchen so if he must go in the house, he doesn't do it on the carpet, well he tinkles on the pad just fine, but doing the other deed, he likes to do it right next to the mat. His name was a tough one to come up with, but I thought back to this time when My mom, Nicole, and myself were at a build a bear workshop in downtown Disney, and I had built this dog that had Yankee atire on, and I named it Delilah and my mom told me I should have gave it a cute name like Jeter, so that's where the idea for my puppy came in. I will have pictures of the house up soon. I just need to finish unpacking everything. I have a Birthday card for Catherine going out, so be expecting that soon. It's good to hear everyone had fun at the Fair. I hope my sister's job is going good at the pet store, maybe she can hook me up with some cheap puppy supplies. I hope my Mom isn't getting stressed at work and hope she hasn't had to go to Mollie's so much. I haven't heard much on my brother and Nicole but I hope her pregnancy is treating her well. That's all the excitement here. I hope everyone has a nice work week. : )
