USS Arizona Memorial

My grandmother is here visiting and we decided to go to the USS Arizona Memorial.  They have you watch a film with actual footage from Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and then they take you by boat out to the memorial.  It was very sad, but very cool to see.  So many people died that day, but alone on the USS Arizona over 1,100 Marines and sailors were killed and trapped inside the ship. 

D's Current Challenge

We just recently found out that Dan has to work Sundays now.  The military is rough about that.  They don't care if you have a family or not or if you are a Christian.  Not even deployed, he works more than anyone I know and very hard too.  Yet he still comes home smiling everyday and is willing to help me with things at home.  Such a great husband!! While he will only be able to attend the evening service at the ministers house and it is Sunday, the Lord knows his heart :)  I am very blessed to have the hard-working and very loving military man I have, and the baby will be blessed to have him as a father!! Please pray for Dan in this time.

Made a blog!

New to this, but I made a blog since we are so far away from family! Anywho, just got home from Idaho.  Had a blast with the family, but glad to be home with D and T.  T has separation anxiety now since I was gone for a week, and I have to say (even though he annoys me most of the time) I missed my little baby dog ;)  D was very happy for me to be home too!   When I got home I put all the new baby stuff away and we got a few things at Target!  We love all the things from the baby shower, especially all the homemade things!  Now all we need is our sweet little one! Too bad we have 3 whole long months left.  We just can't wait to hold he/she, but I am still convinced it is a she.  Had a doctor's appointment and little one is growing perfectly.  He/She is around the 50th percentile!  Baby is very active and keeps me up most the night, but I like that...let's me know that little one is doing ok :)  Plus, it will be great practice!  We are 24 weeks and 4 days today and I am getting very anxious.  Can't imagine what it will be like near my due date! (May 3rd)
  S.G.  made this awesome cake for my surprise party!  It is a little Hawaiian baby (considering D's duty station) and was delicious!! No fondant, real frosting!  Feet and arms are entirely made out of frosting!

 Here is me today at 24 weeks and 4 days for Aunt S.  She really likes the pregnant pictures and I guess I am neglectful of posting them for her ;)
