My little girl is such a joy. Today she was singing her little heart out. Right before bed, she was reading a book. I cant believe how fast this time has gone. I look at my older 2 and realize they are growing so fast. When we came on this island, Taylor was just starting K and Avery was 3. Now i have a 7 & 8 yr old, In 2nd and 3rd grade. I cherish every moment i get with them.

I had my colposcopy on Thursday, while i was so nervous, i got a lot of past questions answered, like what the heck my " disorder" so to speak was called, when it was found in 2001. I had displasia. My Dr told me it looks like my body has fully healed its self since my last 2 biopsy's have come back ok. I still have to go in for yearly paps just cause of my history, even though i have never had a bad pap. She explained the colposcopy to me. i let her know about my wonderful period which has been coming twice a month, and the pain i still have on my right side. The periods are not normal she told me, so we decided to do a a biopsy on my uterus as well as get an ultrasound on my right side to make sure there is nothing going on.
During the Colpo, which burns btw, she did it everywhere that i had my surgery previously to make sure there were no more bad cells. She found some white spots. As she was telling me, i had tears rolling down my face.
I was hoping all this was done with years ago, but for now we have to wait and see. I will be put under to have the biopsy's done as well as the biopsy on my uterus. Depending on what my ultrasound comes back as, will determine if she is fixing something in my stomach or going in with a camera for a closer look. I'm really down about this, words cant even describe. Im praying everything comes back ok, cause i don't know how much more i can take right now. I go the end of DEC for my ultrasound and a week after that for my pre op appointment. Surgery will be sometime in Jan.

We had such a blast at the ball. The guest speaker was awesome and had all the Marines stand up and sing the Marine Corps Hymn! It was great.
I had a whole afternoon of pampering done and felt beautiful. I picked up some new make up from Clinique while i was down at the big exchange. I was trying to find Juli some P.J'S, but of course they have nothing, so i bought myself something! My mom wil have to send us some yet again this winter.
The ball was done up beautifully. We sat at the table with all Jimmy's Marines. They all worked for him before his work up to Afghanistan.
Here are the pics from the ball!!

Well tomorrow is the big day and im so excited!!! I was going through all our pictures from the past month and realized i have left a lot of stuff out. Jimmy and I got to go on a date last month and it was awesome. Its been a long time since we have had alone time, besides the ball every year, but that doesnt count. We went shopping and drove around everywhere looking for a place to eat that didnt have a line going out the door. It was pay day weekend so it was hard. Everyone is trying to be the first one to blow all their pay day money first. We finally found a little Italian place on base, that we had been to before. It was nice...... and quiet!
Here we are with our only "date" pic lol
We stopped off at the store on the way and i picked up a new drink, and my fav snack! Its almost like a Concha, and i sure do miss those. The Pepsi was different but good, i soon got addicted to them. It has a sweet taste and an after taste sorta like a dreamsicle, weird!


While driving to the base, we were following this idiot, and the sticker on their car was picture worthy.
It says maternity in car. They have a caution sticker yet pulled over to do a drug deal. LMAO It was funny staring at them while they were trying to be "normally talking". hahaha

I caught a cute pic of Jimmy, Juli and Chole, passed out!

I killed one of the biggest spiders lately too. I had to take a pic of it before i killed the sucker. I cant even imagine running into this thing in the house!
The weird thing is, i checked back on it an hr later, and it was gone! OMG, gives me the chills thinking about it. Avery found a weird bug when he came home from school, Chloe helped him stalk it, until she pulled its legs off.

She is a inside cat now, We battled fleas for a few weeks before we just kept her in. The fleas are everywhere out here, when you walk in the grass, they jump all over you. YUCK!
As soon as we brought her in for good, the fleas stopped

And last but not least, from today! My crappy ass neighbors are at it again, leaving their trash out. The let the animals get into it and still leave it out for the world to see. This will stop if i have to go higher then our housing manager. Its just down right gross and they are nasty and lazy


The housing manager supposedly was to call them today. This is unacceptable!
Well its off to bed for me.......

Wow. Its been forever since i have updated!
We have been enjoying having Jimmy home! Things have been pretty mellow... Lets see. Jimmy went to the Dr recently and we are holding off on surgery as of right now and are going to try something else on his back first. He will be getting a series of 3 epidural steroid injections in his back and physical therapy to help strengthen this back. Hopefully this will work and we can avoid surgery. His first one will be in 2 weeks. I will be there =/

I had found these awesome hand done name signs for the kids 2 years ago, then the guy who made them, disappeared! I was really bummed. It was the one thing i wanted to bring back from here for the kids. We are not into the Asian theme stuff besides the occasional doll ect so this is something i NEEDED. We'll he came back!!!! For 2 weeks he was on base, so we got each of the kids their names in the Japanese characters. Arent they awesome???

Halloween was great. We had our local friends Tamaki and Eriko come on so Eriko's son could trick or treat. It was fun, but there were a lot of locals on base. Our base was opened up to the locals this year for the full 2 hrs. We bi passed most of them and were able to do pretty well. The kids looked so cute in their costumes. As soon as i put Juli in hers, she ran around like the was buzzing lmaoI have been working on something for my store for a while now and finally came across a container for it! So we spent a day hitting every one of its kind we could find so i could get the shakers i needed! Im so thrilled.
The kids had their school conferences today and they are both doing so well, its amazing. Taylor is reading in a 5th grade level and Avey's Math is in 3 rd grade. Im so proud of both of them!

Its finally cooling off here and i love it! Today its rainy and chilly!!! Of course our van driver window died on us on Sunday in the down position @@, but luckily we were able to have a crappy mechanic put it up for us. The reason i say crappy is, she took out the bad motor and rigged the window up with wood. So when i shut the door last night, the window fell @@ Luckily we have wind guards and the window only fell a small amount and the wind guards cover it. Its still a pain in the ass every time we have to get out ID checked. We are the idiots that have to open our door @@. Im waiting on an estimate as i type to see how much we will be getting raped! If its too much, it will just stay broke! Oh, oh.... The gas door, yeah well, its decided it doesnt want to open on its own either. i swear. I use my ID to pop it open. That will stay broken as well if it costs an arm and a leg to fix. So much for getting a newer car. pos!
The ball is next week. Im sooooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love my dress so much.
Someone is calling Mom, i better get off here and hide!!
