Hair Hair and Natural Hair

I have been going back and forth with this and I finally decided a couple of months ago not to Relax my hair anymore. No more chemicals. I first started out with just doing braids, when I went home for my Aunt Myrt's funeral in Feb, I went and had my hair straightend and continued to do that while I was in the states. My last week there I went and had my hair braided because bening here in Okinawa my hair would just POOF out. I found a wonderful hair stylist here in Oki that does a fantastic job with braids, so I have gone to her. So, I have been with just my natural hair for 6 months now. I have to take more time with my hair now, but I don't have to worry about the chemicals. YAY!!!!

Outee!!

Come on now

So, I have been dealing with Brian being gone really well, but I am so sick of hearing people tell me that I am going to be ok. I think that it is hard being in a different country with NO Family here. I also think that it would be different if we were in the states. Everyone that is saying this here on Island, have children. I, sometimes think that they do not think before they speak about things like that. They can survive their husbands being deployed and have their children to take care of while their husbands are gone. I think that I just had to vent.

2 Years on Okinawa!

We have offically been on Okinawa for 2 years. The time has flown by so fast! I have grown to really like it here, but I am also excited to find out where we will be going to next.

Like, I said before. Okinawa has been great we have made some great friends and lost some friends also. I really think that making the move overseas really taught us who our real friends are.

We have had many, many great dinners here in Okinawa for CHEAP!!

We were suppose to know where we are going in Sept, but Brian is not here to speak with the Career personel so we shall wait until Oct. Only a month, but that month is like forever in the Military. Any who.....there will be a lot more to come. Bring on the stress!!!!!

Outee!!

It's the right time

On yesterday after I was talking to Brian on the phone, I sat there and was thinking gosh. I think that it is time for us to start our own family. To some, they will say that it is LONG overdue. I really enjoy being able to pick up and go whenever we have the chance to. I really don't think that we would be able to do that unless we were around family. Another reason I think that it is time, is Brian and I are not getting any younger. Some people that are Brian's age have children that are 15 and maybe older. No, I am not saying that I want for us to start having children, so that we are no longer the Plague within the Military community, I just think that It's the Right time.

I think that one of the reasons why we haven't got pregnant before is because. I think that I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and I will find out more on that situation on July 8th. I will get all of the things that I need done now, so that when Brian returns. We can start on the new Walker.

This is kind of scary, but again It's the right time.

Outee!!

Sick and Happy

How in the world can a person be Sick and Happy all in the same day. Well I can tell you that. I have had the worst cold since Thursday of last week. I went with a friend and her children to Curry place here in Okinawa called CoCo's and I have felt sick since then. On Friday and Saturday, I missed calls from Brian and that just made me feel even worse. I went to work on Sunday feeling ever so sick and had the worst time handling things at work. Monday, I slept the day away and I still felt bad this morning when I woke up, but on to the Happy. I woke up this morning to a wonderful phone call from my Wonderful Husband, and to think that I started not to answer the phone. Talk about one sick person if I would have missed that call. Now, I am at work and still feeling crappy and dealing with Stupid drunk people. I am thinking, do I really need this job??

Outee!

Why Me??

Ok...so most of you all know that I am now working at the Bowling Alley on Camp Schwab here in Okinawa. I am the Night Manager and all that falls in with a bowling alley. I have now been here for about a month and it has been ok. I first started out working 6 days a week, but I have cut it down to 4 sometimes 5 nights a week. I have to say that it keeps me pretty busy with Brian being gone, I don't feel as lonely in the evenings.

Since working here, I have been a listening ear for a couple of people. One young Marine reminds me so much of my cousin Devin. He always comes in to bowl, but always winds up talking to me instead of bowling. I have got to the point to where I wait and charge him for his bowling. He is part of the regular crowd that shuffles in every night. They are a good group of Postal workers.

My main purpose for getting this job is because I want a Mac Book pro, well I now have enough for my Mac Book, but I don't want to quit just now, because B is still gone. I am going to give it until he comes back from his Mission.

Blast from the Past!

Ok...so here in Okinawa we don't get that much of a choice with the music station. So, I was online browsing ITunes and I see that She-Bop herself has a new album out. WOW!! Now, I am going back and forth with myself on if I should download one of the songs off this new album Bring Ya to the Brink. I listen to Lyfe and I am so liking this song. I am not sure how the other songs are on this album, but I am really enjoying Lyfe. Kudos to you Cyndi Lauper. What a comeback!

Born in the USA

I was just sitting here thinking about how when I was little, I would go on long drives with Tiger and Barbara Link (My wonderful Grandparents) and I remember being in the backseat and all of a sudden I would break out into song with Born in the USA. I swear that was the only song that I would sing. To this day they are always talking about how Drea loved that song, I still love that song and now that I am older I totally get the song. Back then, I would just sing it, because it was a great song, but now I sing it, because I am so proud to be an American and I am proud to know that my husband is a protector of our great USA.

Sick, Sick, Sick!

I have been so sick today! I have had the worst headache and it has just had me on my butt all day and today is suppose to be my day off from work. WOW.....what a wonderful way to spend the day off. I didn't go to bed until 9:00am, who knows that may be the reason for why I have been sick. I just have to LOVE MIGRAINES!!

My adventure for today has just been dreams :-)

Outee!

The Start

Ok......So as of today, Brian and I have been in Okinawa for 2 years. So, 2 years down and 1 more year to go. I really wish that I would have started using this blog, instead of using my Myspace to write everything out.

We have done a lot of travels within these 2 years, but not as much as we really wanted to do. I have to say that right now, Brian is getting more travels in than me. He is on his own adventure and will be gone until sometime in Oct.

So, with this being the start of my new blog, I will update you on all of the Adventures that life will bring and the Adventures that the Military will have us on.

Outee!
