Catching up too....

Since everyone else is catching up, I might as well too.
Christopher is in Afghanistan, I don't exactly know where and he's not allowed to say on the phone, he isn't to his duty station yet, but he should hopefully be there tomorrow, and once he is there and settled in he will be able to call and talk to me on webcam more. I filed our taxes and we should be getting our return any day. I plan on paying some bills and I made an appointment to get my dog fixed, and they will microchip him for free. I also need to get him a little cone for his head, he likes to lick himself, and I don't want another Elvis incident, that was scary. So hopefully after that he will calm down some. I did get to talk to Christopher last night for about 10 minutes, I almost didn't answer cause he was calling my 760 number, he said he didn't know my other number by heart yet and he has been used to calling that number when he was gone before. I could barely hear him and there was a bad delay in the conversation, but it was good to hear his voice to I am not complaining. Tomorrow the cable company is comming to fix my cable box because it has been freezing. Then sunday I am going to a superbowl party, everyone will be rooting for the Stealers, I really don't care who wins, I like the comercials and the half time show. Im excited my Mom, Dad, and Sister got new phones, they can all text me now, even Catherine, who likes bacon by the way. I am excited for my family to come, it will be fun. As soon as I have Christopher's address I will make sure to give it to anyone who wants it so we can send him care packages and letters. He is doing good, he is just cold and tired of sleeping in a tent full of smelly dudes. Can't blame him for that. Lol

I miss him already!

Christopher left last night, or should I say this morning it was 3:30am. It sucks. You can only prepare for it so much and it doesn't really hit you until you wake up the next morning realizing that he isn't there. I am just hoping time will go by super fast or some miracle will happen where he will get sent home early. We had to be at his company last night at 11:50 and he didn't leave until 3:30. It was a lot of waiting around and it was actually cold outside. I was freezing. They had to do like 4 different formations and get their weapons issued and the rest was just waiting around. It was depressing when the busses pulled up and everyone was saying goodbye. God it sucked. It sucks waiting for him to call letting me know he got their safe. Soon I will get used to him being gone and my house won't feel so depressing and empty.

TUESDAY AT 3AM : (

So Christopher leaves Tuesday at 3am, yeah pretty much sucks! Hopefully this week will go by slow. He is getting all his stuff packed and together. There is ACU crap everywhere. I hope he stays safe and does not freeze to death. It will be all good, he's trying to take his R&R (2 week break) around my 21st birthday, which might not happen, but it would be the best birthday! As soon as he gets settled I will send him a lot of packages, I am sure my Mom will send a few as well.

Friends you will meet in Hawaii

I am really excited about my family coming to visit. We will have a lot of fun, and having their visit to look forward to makes it easier for me to get over Christopher deploying. I have something positive to look forward to instead of just negative. Well I just thought I would let my family see some of the friends they will meet while they are visiting.
You will see these damn geckos everywhere. They are always outside my door. They are gross and they sometimes are in my house. You will also see cockroaches just in the street as you're walking, they are huge and they fly. There are also really huge moths here, they look like bats, they creep me out.

We put in an AC unit in our living room so people won't get too hot. It works pretty well, I am happy with it. I finished the second Twilight book, which I was pretty happy about because it is probably the thickest book I have ever read. Now I am starting the third one. I am excited and the movie based on the second book comes out in November. I think after I read all the Twilight books I may get into the Harry Potter ones, but I don't know.

On Saturday Christopher is taking me on our last dinner outing before he deploys, he is taking me to the cheesecake factory, I wonder if they have pineapple cheesecake, that might be good.

New Years Eve in Paradise

New Years Eve was really fun, we spent it in Waikiki. Danielle's mom is visiting and she rented a hotel that overlooked the beach, it was really nice. We walked around in Waikiki and we ate dinner at Planet Hollywood, it sucked. I do not recommend it, they are slow and their food was not good at all. They had to comp some of our food because it was that bad. We did get free dessert and appetizers though. Driving home was really smokey because of all the fireworks,but everyone made it home safely. It was a fun new years eve.
: ) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Bringing in 2009!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas. Mine was pretty good. There ended up being like 13 people at my house, there were no leftovers. The next day Christopher's family arrived at like 3:30pm, they took a shuttle to the base, he had to go get them from one of the gates. They pulled up and I walked down stairs and you just hear "SARAH!!!" Cylar, his cousin, was pretty excited to see me, I was excited to see her too, her and I had gotten close before we moved here. The Grandma was pretty excited too, even though she had a broken toe and her foot was all swollen, poor thing. Well the all came up and looked at our house, they all said it was cute, which made me happy. They all liked my dog too, especially Carter, who is six, not seven! I asked him how old he was and that's what he said, "I am six, not seven!". He has a birthday coming up and doesn't want anyone to refer to him as seven yet, because it doesn't count. They couldn't get a room at the hotel on base, so they were just going to get some air mattresses and crash here. Well everyone was hungry so we decided to go get Chinease food, we had to take to trips to get there. Well everyone was just about finished with there food when we hear loud ass thunder, bright ass lightneen, pouring down rain, then all of a sudden, the lights go out. I thought it would have been the perfect time to dine and dash, but we didn't. We scrunched everyone into the car and headed home, everything was black, it was creepy. We get to my house and get all the candles we can find. We couldn't see anything. We tried to watch a movie on Christopher's laptop, then it died, so we all just went to bed. The power came back on at like 6am. So thank god it came back. That day his Aunt and Christopher went to the store to buy some food for them to cook, only half of the commissary was open because they had to inspect the meat and frozen food because of the blackout. They were there for a while, then they finally came back and his Aunt made tacos, and his Grandma made stuffed cabbage, both of wich, were BOMB. Then the sun started to come out so we headed for North Shore, which is the beach closest to my house. We took the dog with us, his Grandma stayed home, she wanted to take a nap, and she got an earlier flight to leave that night, so she needed to get her stuff together. North Shore was fun, they had a lot of cute shops and stuff, they had a market that has world famous shaved ice, it was pretty good, George Clooney's picture was up in there, so it must be good. Then we came home, Christopher, his Aunt, Cylar, and Cole(the oldes of the cousins), went to the PX. I stayed and me and Grandma watched the movie What Happens in Vegas, very funny movie. Then at about 9pm we took her to the Airport and came home and played a couple games of SceneIT, then I went to bed. Christopher and his cousin stayed up to play some Xbox, then I woke up the next morning to some bomb ass breakfast. We spent most of the day in Waikiki at the beach, it was fun, then we took them to the Airport at about 9pm. It was a short but sweet visit. Everyone had fun, which is good.

Tonight we are spending New Years Eve at Aloha Tower, they are going to have performers and fireworks at midnight and little shops open, it should be fun, I haven't been there before. I hope everyone has a good and safe new years : )

As soon as his Aunt sends me all the pictures, I will make a video or something for you all to see.

Holiday Plans <3

So today is Christmas Eve, Eve. The next few days should be fun, tomorrow for Christmas Eve, we are going to Danielle and Greg's for cookies, hot chocolate, and Egg Nogg. We are also going to watch Christmas movies. I am thinking A Christmas Story, Danielle has never seen it before. It is a classic. Then Christmas we are having friends over for a feast. I am making a ham, cheesy potatoes, cake, brownies, and more. My friends are bringing mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, chips, dip, beverages, and more. It should be fun. Then the next day Christopher's family will be joining us. YAY. It will be his Aunt, Grandma, and his 3 cousins, which I have met 2 of them. They are probably going to rent a car, and see about a hotel, and if they can get a cheap one, Ty( his aunt), his Grandma, and the youngest cousin Carter will stay in a room, while Cole and Cylar will stay here. Christopher said that will be cool because Cylar loves hanging out with me, and its the same with Cole and him. So it should be alright with that. Either way it will be fine, but we do only have ONE bathroom. And this may sound CRAZY for my family, but I can't stand clutter in my kitchen or my bathroom, SHOCKER I know... but I can't lol. I hope they have fun and the weather is nice though. : )
Maybe tomorrow I will get lucky and get my Mom's package.
