SUPER TYPHOON

http://www.prh.noaa.gov/guam/cyclone.php

Super Typhoon Melor is headed near us! Pray it doesn't take a turn South!

I went to the animal shelter today and brought home 3 puppies and 2 kittens in hopes of helping them through the storm. The shelter here is really bad if the animals are caught in a storm so they ask everybody to foster if they can. It really makes me appreciate my sweet, housebroken dogs.

Well, Hello there!

I keep forgetting my login info! So annoying. So, I guess I have been missed? Unfortunately my life is semi-boring.

We moved to Guam in July. EVERYBODY said this place is terrible but we love it! We are already planning on going to Thailand, Japan and New Zealand hopefully all this year.

We live in off-base military housing....which is interesting. They are new houses, just built and it is an "officers only" neighborhood.

I tell ya what....military people are kinda strange. There is a huge disconnect b/t officers and enlisted which is dumb. I just think if you are a good person than it shouldn't really matter.

ANYWAY...I still do own my shop. It is hard leaving it in the hands of the manager but she is GREAT! Her name is Molly and I was able to work with her for a few months before I left. She even started a website but needs to update it.

So, back to Guam. Turns out my neighbor is from Sugarland, Texas and knows Amber. So that is kinda funny.

You know Bevin got married last weekend! YEA! I couldn't make it due to storms flying over and there wasn't a MAC flight out. :(

Another funny thing is that they are going to take their "out of the country" honeymoon to a place where Ben is assigned to.

Guam is different. I tell stories to relatives and they always say I need to start a blog about it but I always forget the craziness that happens.

Ben and I have been on a few crazy hikes that involve us clawing our way up a mud slide. That was fun. We have seen many pigs, boonie dogs, boonie cats and boonie chickens. There is a man here who has a water buffalo and a goat that he walks up and down the road in case you want to ride them.

(That is going to be our Christmas picture.)

I found 2 kittens on the side of the road who I turned into the SPCA yesterday. They called me today to tell me they were euthanizing them. So, after begging I convinced them to let me pick them up tomorrow. There is a hug animal problem here but I would always blame myself for their death if I didn't do it.

Snorkeling and diving here is AMAZING! I am not certified yet but I plan to as soon as I get a break from babysitting. That is what I do to occupy my time. Hopefully soon Ben and I will have a few babies of our own but it seems to be taking longer than usual....lets see....its been 7 months now? Yeah....so....

We have some videos. They are pretty lame but we put them up for family to see. So please spare the nasty comments.

I hope that link works!

I am kinda sick right now so I am going back to sleep. I swear I will be better about posting and tell you some crazy stories!

Oh! And Ben and I are going to be in the Oct/Nov issue of Modern Bride! I can't wait to see it!

guam

suck it....this place is amazing.

Who would I be...

if I didn't update people.
For those of you who still come here searching for Bachelor gossip.....look elsewhere. I don't watch the show, never did before I was on it and haven't watched it since season 11.
It's a pretty dumb show....makes me want to gag.
Anywho.....
Friends and family will be happy to know that a new member of the family was born. Lauren and Andrew had their first baby Jan. 24th. Sarah Francis Pittard. She finally has a name!!!
My dear Ben is still deployed in (my eyes) the worst place he could possibly be. I am hating every second of it but will feel much better once Feb rolls around. I am definitely ready to actually live like most married couples....you know, fighting over doing the dishes, balancing finances etc.
Ha! J/K...kinda.....
I just moved my store in December to South Windermere, in West Ashley. It's probably less than a mile away from the old store. If I hear the, "How is your store doing" question again I might pop.
My store is doing fine. I am not rolling in $ but I am still fine and in no danger of closing.
We will see what happens when I move to Guam! (still hoping for Germany)

And who would I be w/o a little store promotion.....
check out the new stuff!!!

Shirtless Andy

Well, we all know we have seen our share of Andy Baldwin shirtless. I just find it very amusing he sold out to "The Awesomes". Check out this video.....

MY FRIEND!!!!

This is my friend on the left. She was one of my bridesmaids. We will call her Josepha for now. She is single. She is in graduate school. I have known her for years and years and she is AWESOME. She is the sweetest person I have ever met. She is 24ish. I suggest that all you single hot guys check her out. Emphasis on SINGLE and HOT. We'll be in touch....
Oh, the girls in the middle is taken and I have no idea who that other girl is.

The surprise

So.....it didn't go EXACTLY as planned. The band had no idea what the words to the song were. They said they would learn the Rick James version but they ended up speaking gibberish. Just listen to them. Anyway....Ben and I got confused a lot on what they were saying since we choreographed it to the words....but this is what the result was.
Here is our surprise first dance......
