I have truly fallen in love with this song.

Ordinary Miracle...It just seems to truly fit, how things are progressing for Brian and I. We are Blessed in so many ways, but Swee'Pea is such a wonderful blessing.

Swee'Pea is our Ordinary Miracle and we hope and pray that he or she will continue to stay in place and continue to grow stronger.

It?s not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It?s just another ordinary miracle today

The sky knows when its time to snow
Don?t need to teach a seed to grow
It?s just another ordinary miracle today

Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own

Isn?t it remarkable?
Like every time a rain drop falls
It?s just another ordinary miracle today

Birds and winter have their fling
But always make it home by spring
It?s just another ordinary miracle today

When you wake up everyday
Please don?t throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
Cause we?re all a part
Of the ordinary miracle

Ordinary miracle

Do you want to see a miracle?

It seems so exceptional
That things just work out after all
It?s just another ordinary miracle today

Sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night
It?s just another ordinary miracle today

It?s just another ordinary miracle today

Houston we have a heartbeat!!!!

I have to say that today was the BEST day EVER!!! We had our first OB visit. The Dr. that I had was awesome and answered all of our questions. He went through and explained all of the blood work. We were able to see the HEARTBEAT and it was just so amazing!!!!! We were also able to get a couple of pictures of the sonogram of our little popeye. It's only just begun.

To be continued....

Everything seems to really be falling into place. We are in our new place, we have our car and working on getting our 2nd car, going on a mini vacation and then Brian will check in to his new command. We have not done a whole lot of stuff since we arrived, but that will change once we are on regular sleep schedules. I will go to bed at like 10pm and sleep until about 2am. Stay up until about 7am and sleep until about 3pm. I am all out of wack!

I think that it's going to turn around.

It's June....and I am happy to be home! I miss my dear friend in Okinawa very much. Yesterday morning, I woke up and got out of bed to see the view. And all I had to view was a lake and a tennis court. Oh..how I miss my mansion in the SKYYYYY. Other than that things are looking up and we can't wait for the future.

Today is moving day!!

Today is the day that we move into our new place. We were going to move into Mariner's Wharf here in Orange Park, but after getting here and riding over there. It looks like they have a lot of people out there. We decided that we would look at their sister company across the street called Bridgewater. Yeah that place is a HOLE. The office staff members were nice, but my issue with this place is, the lady told us that they would have a place ready for us in 5 days and that they would show us the place that we would be renting. She also tells us not to be jaded by the way the apartment looks right now, because they are going to clean it up, paint and all of that good stuff. We get to the apartment and OMG that place was a dump!! The carpet was so dirty, it just smelled so bad. Then we move on to the kitchen and the floor is FLOODED and she didn't seem too surprised about that. I knew right then and there, that we were not going to rent this apartment.

We finish the tour of the apartment complex and by this time, I am feeling super bad(this cold is kicking my butt) I let Brian go back inside to get our license, we sat in the car a while and talked about how crazy that place was and how we will not move there.

We decide to go and check out the old complex that we lived in before moving to San Diego. We had no complaints about it, but we knew that they only had 1 and 2 bedroom apartments. We knew that we really needed more room, but we really wanted to be in Orange Park. This apartment complex is close to everything, actually everything is in walking distance. We were just impressed from the start. They had an apartment that was available right then and took us to the apartment and we were happy with what we saw. There was new carpet, new paint and it smelled great in there. We took the apartment, the only reason we didn't move in the next day was because we were locked into(already paid for) our hotel room for a couple of more days.

The next couple of days should get pretty busy. We bought new furniture and it is being delivered today. We are having cable installed on tomorrow so we had to buy a new tv. So much going on!!

Okinawa to Jacksonville

I have to say that, I thought that we were never going to leave Oki. The reason I say that is because they kept telling us, that our flight was leaving on Saturday, but never giving any kind of time. Friday evening is when we found out what time we were leaving Okinawa. Our flight was to leave Naha at 11:50 am. So, Denise drives us to the airport(Because she is just that awesome of a friend!) and we get there about 2 hours early. The line was PACKED with all kinds of American's. We journey on to the gate and say our goodbyes and head on. The flight from Naha to Narita wasn't so bad. I had a window seat and Brian had the aisle right beside me. We land in Narita and search around for our gate, we find it and we are looking for a place to eat. What do we have....ummm...Sushi!!! We eat and wait. Now, the flight from Narita to Chicago is was just miserable. I had the window and Brian was stuck in the middle between me and a Japanese man. There were so many crying babies on that flight, it was just insane. Once landing in Chicago we are told that we have to get our luggage and go through customs. We do that without any problems...but the problem came after that. The people that had connecting flights to other places had to recheck their luggage. Well, OHare had an awesome system going....NOT They told everyone to just sit their luggage with all of the other luggage and it will be placed where it needed to go.

Now, the flight from Chicago to Jacksonville was AWESOME, we were able to score 1st class tickets for FREE!!! Because there were not that many people on the flight. We land about 30 minutes early and everything is going good..until we get to the baggage claim. Mind you we checked 4 pieces of luggage, only one of those bags made it to Jax. We were not the only ones who didn't get all of their luggage. EVERYONE on the plane had pieces of luggage missing. So, we all file into the United room and put in our claims. Sunday the 2 suitcases arrived and then on Monday the other seabag arrived.

To Leave or Not to leave?.....this is our question

Wednesday night was our last night in our Mansion in Kanna-Ginoza. We had our last dinner from downstairs on Wednesday night too. Such a sad last meal.

Thursday the movers came and I tell you it was a whirlwind..4 or 5 guys come in and start packing the house up. I had to make sure that I had all of our items that we were keeping were out of the way and some of the things that we were going to keep out were packed away. Oh well......Brian should have been home on his day OFF. The movers were not there that long. By the time Brian decides to show his face, they were almost done. Once all was done, we cruise down to Foster to turn in our propane tank and to also do the Vehicle registration with Bestie. Once that was done we went to Cash Sales to look for a poncho liner, which they are out of stock until August.

By the time all of that was done, it was time to where we could check into our hotel room. We lucked up with our room. We are staying over in the WestPac Inn and our room is great! King size bed and leather furniture for only $30.00

So....we should be leaving tomorrow heading home, but the closer to 4 it gets. I am thinking that we are not going anywhere tomorrow. Brian called the PS2 over at PSD and she told him that our flight is leaving tomorrow and that it is a commercial flight, but that was it. He told her that he would be over there, but there were other things that are a bigger than that. Our housing inspection was at 12:00. I have been waiting to hear from Brian, but I have nothing. So.....we may be leaving on Monday or Tuesday.....who KNOWS!!!
