It's about time...

I have to be the worst blogger in the entire world. I have had this blog for over a year now and I have zero blogs. Have I let anyone down? Maybe two people the same two that are reading this now...yes you mycousinsarah and myfriendkim. Where do I start? We all know my memory is as good as Dory from Finding Nemo, so a years worth of events will be a stretch for me. I owe it to you my faithful followers (mycousinsarah and myfriendkim) to try my best to bring you up to date of events past, so here goes nothing.....

Moved to Okinawa from Dallas. I soon found out that this place was NOTHING like I thought it would be and have been pretty miserable ever since; minus the time I spend with Matt.

Went home for a month for X-mas (2009). Leave has it's ups and downs. Up: You are home and get to see everyone you care about. Down: You are traveling constantly and stay tired.

Back in Okinawa. (I do not like it here one bit!)

Got hitched in Feb. We got married at City Hall..ehh not how I imagined getting married, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. We plan to have a "real" wedding when we are back in the states, somewhere around our 5th anniversary.

Surprise!!! I got knocked up in May. We will be having a little girl (God, help us all!) and her name will be Maia Liliana. She is due Feb. 8th. Still hasn't sunk in that I am going to be a mommy. WOW!!! I am a wife and a mother...who would have ever thought. 

We decided that we needed a bigger house and that turned out to be a big mistake. It ended up being freaking haunted, so we left faster than my family and friends can throw back bottle of wine. We are now living on base and I feel a lot more safe here, but still hasn't changed how I feel about being on this miserable island. 

Matt decided to get of of the military (I loved this decision) after being pulled every which way and it sank in that he was going to be a daddy. 

Came home for my grandmothers 80th birthday as promised before I left the states and my baby shower that mywonderfulcousinsarah, myfriendkim and Heather threw for me. Not enough time home, but extremely grateful that I was able to and I was able to spend time with my family and friends even if it was short lived.

Now we are counting down the days until Maia arrives (44 days left) and we leave this wretched place and let me tell you neither can come soon enough.

So now that you have been brought up to date on my little life I shall do my best to keep you current. I will post pictures and everything.
