School Update

Hello All,

No more neglecting this blog, I'm going to try my hardest to update it atleast once a week, maybe once every 2 weeks but it'll all depend on if anything exciting happens. So far it's been a pretty relaxing 2 weeks, I'm used to not working now which is nice, it had been feeling like I was on a long vacation but not anymore! I think the pets all love having me home, especially Eeva.

I haven't been up to too much, just hanging around the house with the pets, hanging out with friends more often then I had been, and I got almost everything figured out for school. I went and talked to an adviser yesterday where we planned out what my school schedule was going to be like. I'll be taking 3-4 classes each term and if I take 4-5 classes each term I could be done with school as early as May 2015. That really surprised me seeing as it's been 2 years since I've been in school, but I'm not complaining.

The pets are all doing pretty well, Tony & Horus have been fighting a lot more then usual but it's pretty easy to stop. As soon as they see me walking towards them they split apart. Eeva has been doing fantastic! She is almost a completely different dog. She's been around people a lot more lately, especially kids. It's quite cute to see how happy and excited she gets when she's around kids.

As for Michael he is back on nights, which he doesn't really like, but he'll be switching back to days in the middle of May so that he can go to ALS. ALS is a leadership class that Airmen take before they become a staff. Mike won't find out until August if he made Staff but we're fairly sure that he made it this time around.

Overall it's been a quiet but fun week. Enjoy the picture below from the week!

It's only been 4 Months....

Hello All,

Big time no long no talk, life has been crazy here in Hawaii. Mike has been working, I've been working, life has been happening and I haven't taken the time to write about it. Well time to catch you up on anything that you may have missed.....

I quit my job! After a year Michael and I decided that it was time to leave Target and to focus on school and our little family. It's only been a week but I've spent that time with Mikey, the pets, and catching up on being a lazy person. Hopefully within the next few days I get myself back into a routine so I can be more productive.

Michael took his promotion test! He took it last week and with a little luck he will make it past the cut off, who knows with the military downsizing, but he thinks that he did a good job. He even studied this year!

Eeva is actually behaving! It's quite amazing, we aren't sure what's happened with her but lately she's become a really great dog. She is even walking around with toddlers in the room and isn't trying to tackle them while playing. We're quite impressed.

School time! It's about time that I get my butt into gear and finish school, I've applied to Hawaii Pacific University, it's just time to wait and hear back from them. I'm feeling pretty good about it though, the school is on base, online, and on a bigger campus downtown. I just gotta wait to hear back from them.

The Island Adventure, the past few months we really didn't do much around the island, we stuck close to base, however the past few weeks we have done a lot! We went and stayed at a hotel downtown, we've been traveling around the island, enjoying food, and even bringing Eeva along for some adventures.

Overall there haven't been too many crazy things going on, just a few changes here and there. With a little luck things will keep going smoothly here in Hawaii.
