We were pre-pared with batteries, flashlights, games, junk food, comfy pajamas,water, blankets, and everything else we were going to need for hurricane Irene. Well I have to say the pajamas got used, the junk food was eaten, games were played, and two days of hanging out as a family in the house. We were pre pared for power outages and we didn't even get that. We had alot of wind and very strong wind. I am glad it wasn't much worse. So we had an earthquake earlier in the week a hurricane this week. This leaves me thinking what is someone trying to tell me?? If it is to stop drinking so much diet coke the answer is no and keep mother nature coming.
In all seriousness we are very lucky that is was a big storm were we are. We were prepared for the worst and got some good days at home all together as a family. I will take that any day. 
Cant really tell but it was dark and gloomy
How can you not play in the rain when its rainign so hard
Play
in the rain
riends you know that you will have in your life forever and ever no matter how far apart the military and life take us. Our second day in hawaii a cute family of chantell, brian , and cordon who was 16 months old at the time came over and introduced ourselves. They saw that we had utah liscense plates and thought we proably had to be LDS. They lived the next street over from us. At the time brooklyn was 7 months. These two quickly became the best baby buddies. They are only 9 months apart adn from the begining they became unseperable. We were very lucky and fortunate to become good friends with chantell and brian. We did holidyas, dinner, switched babysitting,hung out alot, you name it we did it together. I had landon and a month later chantell had brenton. Again these two became best buddies. The four of them were unseperable and unstoppable. It started turning out that david was gone when brian was gone for work. So there were alot of times were the kids would play, me and chantell would order our favorite food and talk. We watched each others kids while we just the husbands and wifes went to another island. Boy of boy was I so sad when I found out that they were moving to maryland about two years ago. To say that I was devestated is a good way to put it. I couldnt believe that my good friend, mu crutch, the kids best friends, were moving. Well 1 1/2 years later we found out we were going to maryland as well. I was very excited. So here we are back in the same state and the fun has begun. Me and chantell had some good pool time this summer, a girls night, and finally the kids got back together for a sleep over. It was so fun to have these boys over. I think of them as my nephews. I would do anything for these two boys(the whole family acutally). I am so glad that we are in the same state even though it is only for a year they will be here. I will take it and enjoy it.
