Oh wow. I had NO idea it had been so long since I updated Brayden's blog! I'm sorry! We have had a lot going on around here lately. Right now I am updating (on our new laptop, yay! So fast!) from the Oak Harbor Navy lodge, tomorrow Brian checks out of his command for good and we are heading to Wenatchee to visit everyone before we say goodbye June 15th. We can't believe that it is finally here. It's very strange to have such a mix of excitment and adventure with sadness and trepidation. Brayden has been at his Papa Fletcher's for the past week while Brian and I got everything ready for the move. They came and packed up our stuff on Monday and we cleaned it all out and now we are homeless!! I signed us up with relocation company in Guam, they take care of everything, including giving us a temporary cell phone and a realtor. So we will be living in a hotel when we get there, but I have seen the hotel's website, and I, for one, really don't care if we ever find a house, this hotel looks like paradise!! With all this going on, I really haven't had a chance to think that in 3 short months, our family is going to grow by 1/4th! It's in the back of my mind, but I keep telling myself one thing at a time. Everything looks good as far as the baby goes, I had another ultrasound last week, and he already weighs TWO POUNDS. At 23 weeks. Sigh. You can tell by my pictures below, he is going to be a big one (either that or they missed one!!). We are all getting excited for these changes, except of course for the airplane ride.....I am thinking about just giving Brian a Unisom so I don't have to deal with him too!! LOL. Well, I have talked your ear off, so hopefully I will get to see you all before we leave. Adios (which is apparently how they say goodbye in Chamarro, also)!!
Hafa Adai from Guam!! I'm sure most of you got my email with the first pictures, but we have been pretty busy the past few days, sorry there wasn't a faster update! I think jet lag is a thing of the past, Brayden has had a little stomach bug, but nothing serious, even being sick doesn't slow that kid down for long! We have found a house, but we have to wait until the Navy approves it before we can move in.....probably sometime late next week. We are also going to get a new cell phone on Monday, so look for an email with our new address and phone number. Otherwise, everything is going great. The heat was overwhelming at first, but just like anything else, you get used to it fast. Brian has checked into his ship, and seems to like it. I have met a couple of friends, which is nice, especially when we are all in the same "boat". Guam is a great place, the people couldn't be nicer, and it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. I think our family will be very happy here.......I can't believe that in less than 80 days, our family is going to get a new person. Wow. Brayden is excited for his baby brother Oliver, he keeps trying to buy him stuffed animals. We miss our friends and family, but our new house has 4 bedrooms, so feel free to come visit!! I hope all is well for you all. Adios (which is also goodbye in Chamarro as well as Spanish!). Love.
