..............................////////
Being back in Texas is getting a little bit better, however I still would prefer to be back in Hawaii. I really really hope I can go back for a little while before the Peck's and Capuano's move in May.
I'm back at Southlake... Eh, it is quite boring... I am just sitting here in the office playing on the Internet. I have run out of things to do via the Internet....

Texas...
I got back to Texas yesterday... I must say, it is just not the same anymore. It will take time for me to get used to things again.
Leaving the Pecks was the hardest thing ever. I said goodbye to the Capuanos on Wednesday night, it was so sad. Then I went over to the Pecks and said goodbye to the Pecks. Daria and Hunter just went to their rooms and cried and cried. It broke my heart. Terisa went to check on Hunter and talk to him and he just said "My Becca's leaving". It was so sad, but very cute that he said I was his Becca. Terisa was able to calm him down. I went and laid down with Daria and calmed her down. I just reassured her that I would be back and that she was my little sister now so I would always love her. I had to pinkie promise that I would come back and see her before she would calm down. I was very impressed with my ability to hold back the fact that I just wanted to cry and just be there for them as they were upset and hurting. The next morning I got up and helped them get ready for school, gave them all a hug and said see ya later. I still didn't cry, way amazing. Then Bruce gave me a hug goodbye because he had to go to work. That almost made me cry. I am going to miss that big guy, he was so kind and loving to me. The remainder of Thursday was spent with Terisa. Terisa is the most amazing person! We went in to Lihue to meet Kathy for lunch then went and ran some errands around Lihue. Then it was time for Terisa to take me to the airport. As we started to get close to the airport I just lost it. I was crying and crying, I couldn't stop. We got their and she parked the car to walk me in. She helped me check my bags and then gave me a hug. I was still crying, asking her to please not go over and over again. I still had almost 2 hours before my flight and I just wanted her to stay with me. She said it would be too hard because she would start crying and that would not be very good. So she left. I sat outside crying talking on the phone with Adam for like 10 minutes and then Terisa calls me. She was turning around to come get me. It was very cute that she turned around to come get me because I was so sad. We went and ran a few more errands in Lihue and then she dropped me off right before my flight. This parting was much better, I didn't cry at all. Her coming back to get me was very helpful. So, she leaves, I go through security and go to my gate. I board the plane and get into a little ball and cried the entire flight from Lihue to Honolulu... It was only a 25 minute flight, but it was still 25 minutes of crying. I got to Honolulu at 4pm and had to sit there until 9pm! 5 hour layover!!! I just hung out in the airport and talked on the phone and played on my computer. I called Terisa like 3 times during the duration of my layover... I was so sad. I boarded the 7 hour flight for Dallas and tried to go to sleep. Terisa gave me some medicine in hopes that I would pass out, however there was just so much turbulence and a screaming child that I didn't sleep very much. It was an awful flight actually... I landed, got off the plane and went to the baggage claim. There stood Erica and Michael, it was very cute how excited they were to see me. I feel bad because I was not quite as excited as they were. The shock of leaving Hawaii just hasn't gone away yet. Still today life just doesn't seem quite right. I just feel like something huge is missing, and something huge IS missing, the Pecks... I just spent the day hanging out with people yesterday. I called Terisa several times, it helps when I talk to her. She reminds me that it will all me okay and helps me keep it together. However, last night when I was laying in bed I called to say goodnight and I lost it for the first time since I left. I was just crying and crying. Terisa is so patient and kind, I really don't know what I would do if she were not this way. She just told me they all loved and missed me and everything would be fine. She also told me to go to sleep because I had pretty much been awake for like 36 hours and when you don't get sleep you get more emotional. So I cuddled up with all of my Peck stuff and went to sleep. By my Peck stuff I mean things that Terisa gave me of hers, like my pink blankie, my Jammie's and my socks. Just kind of comforting to have those things when I am so far away from them.
I miss everything about Hawaii already. I am having a hard time adjusting to the time change too. I didn't go to sleep until midnight last night, which is 8pm HST. I didn't wake up today until 10:30am, which is 6:30am HST. I've got to get back on track and stop being on HST. Hopefully tonight I can get to bed kind of early, then I will get up extra early to start the transition back to CST.
I really am going to have to get used to things here. I feel so out of everything. I have been gone for over 3 months! People here went on with their lives and have grown and changed. I was not apart of that change. I was over in Hawaii having my own growth and change. I'm a different person and I just need time to adjust to everything here.
I graduate tonight. 5pm. I am excited, yet kind of sad... If it were not for that stupid graduation I would still be in Hawaii. Terisa said if I didn't have graduation plans already made that she would have called and gotten my flight changed so I could at least stay through Christmas. So that kind of bums me out. However, I am excited that I get to walk across the stage and have that experience. I am also glad about dinner, I am having a dinner at El Guapos after graduation. It will be fun, tiring, but fun. It is weird to think that I will officially be UNT Alumni in just a few hours... Crazy! I wish the Pecks were here to see it.
Well, I guess since Hawaii is over this blog will no longer exist for update purposes. Thanks for keeping up with me over the duration of my time away from Texas.
Aloha for the last time...

2 days...
It's been a while since my last post.... I don't really want to post anything right now either...
2 days left and then I head back to the mainland. I have already cried so much. I don't think my heart can handle this, it really does hurt. I've grown so attached to the Pecks that is breaks my heart to leave. However, Terisa has calmed me down with the fact that I will for sure see them again, that they will always be in my life. So that helped... I still cried, but I feel better about leaving.
I'll post all my pictures and stuff online after I get back... For now I just want to be with the Pecks and not be on the computer. So byebye.

He's gone...
Adam is gone. Sadness has entered the Peck House... I'm pretty sure we all shed a few tears this evening. Poor kids, they miss him so much already.
Driving to the airport was horrible. I was already upset because he was leaving, but then... We are leaving base to go to the airport. I pass through the gate and my car breaks down... It wouldn't start. The MWR van broke! I just started crying, I was so upset with the combination of everything that was happening. Bruce had to come help us push the van out of the street and then drive us back to the house and then we drove the Peck's van to the airport. It was awful! I was so upset, I am still upset. However, I told myself I would no longer cry. No crying. I will be totally fine.
The past two weeks have been awesome! I guess it is about time I update with what actually went down...
Monday the 10th Adam got here. We had dinner and came to base.
Tuesday the 11th we went and hiked the Kukui Trail in Waimea Canyon. It was SO hard! It was only a 6 mile hike but it was a 2000 foot elevation drop hike down and then you had to hike it back up... We also got lost and had to hike all the way back down to the bottom to find the trail again and start over, it was awful! I hated that hike so much! I mean it was pretty and all, but when you reach that point of where you are in constant pain it just isn't fun anymore... Then Terisa came home from Colorado and we all went to a fundraiser for Zach's football team.
Wednesday the 12th we all just hung out around base at the Peck's house and the beach.
Thursday the 13th Adam spent the entire day with Kathy because I had to work all day, it was very funny. He had a good time though, that's all that matters!
Friday the 14th we had a bonfire! Several families from the neighborhood came up to the Berm and we had a fire and Adam played the guitar. It was so much fun. The girls, Daria and Alissa, wrote a song for Adam. It was so very cute, I have it on video. I'll figure out how to upload it to the Internet so everyone can see. It was just so dang cute. Ah, this day was AMAZING!!
Saturday the 15th was Terisa's 40th Birthday! It was a wonderful day too! We started it off by going to Zach's football game, very fun! Then we headed out to Brick Oven Pizza and had a great time with food and friends. Then Terisa's friend came in from Oahu and spent the night with us at the Peck's. We came back to base after Brick Oven Pizza and hung around the beach for a while. Then we goofed around the house for a few hours. Dancing, singing, cake, just plain silliness. I taught everyone how to do the Soulja Boy, very funny stuff! After learning the Soulja Boy we went up to the outdoor theater on base and watched Mamma Mia in the rain. It was pouring the whole time but we sat there and watched it. There were also many times during the movie where Terisa, Kathy, Kristin and myself got up and danced around singing the songs very loudly... Good times! After that it was bedtime!
Sunday the 16th was a relaxing day. We just bummed around base and had another great day. I learned how to surf! Adam taught me!!! Kristin took pictures, I'll have to get them from her at some point before I leave. I need to tell Terisa to call her so I can get those... Hmm.
The bummer about the first week Adam was here is that I had to work, so we didn't really get to do a whole lot except chill around base and hang with the Peck's and Capuano's. The second week he was here though I had off, so we went on many adventures!!
Monday the 17th we hiked the Kalalau Trail. It was raining the entire time! It rained ALOT while he was here... It put quite a damper on things... We only were able to do the first 2 miles of the hike because of the rain. It had been raining SO much that the river flooded and no one could cross. There were people trapped on the other side who couldn't get back across to exit the trail. Several people had to be helicoptered out on Monday, it was crazy! After hiking Kalalau we went and hiked out to Queen's Bath, which was SO different from the first time I went. The water is so high now, I couldn't believe how much it had changed since September. It was just crazy! We hiked out and headed back to base and just chilled with the Peckauanos (that is what the Peck's and Capuano's are referred to as..).
Tuesday the 18th Adam and I did a waterfall hike tour. First we headed up to Opaeka'a Falls and hiked down to the bottom. Adam swam around a bit and then we hiked back out. Then we headed out to Wailua Falls, however it had been raining way too much to hike to the bottom of Wailua. Last we went to Kipu Falls... Kipu Falls is a recreational waterfall and is the safest waterfall to go to. It has a short cliff, maybe 35 feet. People jump off of it all the time, it also has a rope swing too. It is normally a very fun place. Well... Since it had been raining so much the water was very very high. The river was raging... We jumped off of the cliff on one side and swam across the bottom to get to the other side and climbed up the ladder. However, we had to cross the river to get back to the exit... While attempting to cross the river the current was so strong that it knocked me down and I was headed toward the edge of the waterfall. Some guy grabbed me and pulled me out before I went over. My heart was pounding and I was so freaked out. I was just shaking for a good 30 minutes after. If that guy hadn't grabbed me and helped me out I would have gotten hurt really really bad, if not killed. It was very freaky. I shouldn't have attempted to cross the river, but I couldn't find another way back. Man, I'll never ever cross a river again, EVER! After the Kipu accident I wanted to go home, so we went back to base and hung out with the Peckauano's.
Wednesday the 19th we went out to Po'ipu and went snorkeling. It was very fun, we saw lots of cool fish! Then we headed out to shipwrecks beach and Adam jumped off of shipwrecks cliff, crazy yes! I never would have done that, especially after the day I had before... He jumped though and he made it out okay, thank goodness! After he risked his life to jump off a cliff into the freaking ocean we went to a hidden beach past Po'ipu. We hiked around and I showed him so pretty cool places. I love the hidden beach, it was so peaceful and quiet. We were the only ones around. Man, that place was awesome! After that it was back to base for some Peckauano time! Also on this day we ran into an issue with the Base. A problem occurred and they wouldn't let Adam stay at the VQ anymore, so he had to move in with us over at the Peck's. It was very nice of the Peck's to let him stay with us. However, it made it harder on everyone because we all got more attached with him living here...
Thursday the 20th we went to a thrift store in Hanapepe and got some cool shirts. Then we spent a few hours out at Polihale. Then back to base for an evening with the Peckauano's.
Friday the 21st it rained all day long... We just stayed on base and chilled out. I don't think we did a single thing that day except goof off around the house, it was very relaxing.
Saturday the 22nd I had an event with work. So Adam volunteered and came out to help, it was very fun. Then we just chilled out with the Peckauanos.
Sunday the 23rd Adam and Brenda went Kayaking, I didn't feel well so I didn't go. I ran errands around Kapa'a and Lihue while they were out. Then I picked them up when they were done and we went back to base to hang out with the Peckauano's.
Monday the 24th was a sad sad day.... Adam and I hung out together during the day until the kids got home from school. Then we helped them with homework and headed down to the beach. Then we went to an event on base, Turkey Bowling. Very fun! Then it was time for Bruce's birthday part, the big 44! After that it was time for Adam to say goodbye to everyone and me to take him to the airport. I can not express how sad it was when he said goodbye to everyone. Daria just cried, Zach went and sat in the chair and was upset, Hunter cried. I cried, Terisa was upset. It was just a very sad evening. After the van broke down and Bruce brought us back to the house so we could switch cars he was like, Adam you can't go back in the house, I don't think my kids could handle seeing you again right now. It was so sad. They were all still inside crying. Ah, today has been a sad yet good day.
Now Adam is gone and I must go to bed. I am really tired and could use a good nights rest. I hope I get that... I'll put pictures up later from his time here. I've got some good ones. Geeze, I miss that crazy guy already! Goodnight, I'm going to bed...
Driving to the airport was horrible. I was already upset because he was leaving, but then... We are leaving base to go to the airport. I pass through the gate and my car breaks down... It wouldn't start. The MWR van broke! I just started crying, I was so upset with the combination of everything that was happening.

After the van broke down and Bruce brought us back to the house so we could switch cars he was like, Adam you can't go back in the house, I don't think my kids could handle seeing you again right now. It was so sad. They were all still inside crying. Ah, today has been a sad yet good day.
Now Adam is gone and I must go to bed. I am really tired and could use a good nights rest. I hope I get that... I'll put pictures up later from his time here. I've got some good ones. Geeze, I miss that crazy guy already! Goodnight, I'm going to bed...
Sad Day... :(
Adam is leaving today. It has been a very fun two weeks and everyone will miss him. I am sure a few kiddo's will be crying tonight when he leaves...
I love this picture. Everyone is actually smiling, even Keilani!

Tomorrow will be SO amazing too! It is Terisa's 40th birthday!! WOOHOO! SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Hmm...
It's been a while since I have put any pictures up... I feel as if though maybe I should, or maybe not... Hmm... I'll put a couple on here. I did upload several pictures to my Picasa site if you want to check them out, http://picasaweb.google.com/allen.becca.
Life here is good. I've been thinking a lot about my future and what I should do after I get back from Hawaii. First off, I just don't want to leave Hawaii. I can NOT express that enough. Hawaii has become a home to me and I will be heartbroken to leave. Living with the Pecks is still wonderful and I couldn't be happier! Adam got here on Monday, that has been very fun thus far. Also, the Peck's and Capuano's just adore him. It is very fun and cute. I am glad he is fitting in well with these families because they mean so much to me. I don't see how anyone could meet them and just not fall in love with them! They are awesome! I am going to miss them so very much, but I know they will always be in my life, thank goodness!!!
Adam, Brenda and I went hiking down the Kukui Trail on Tuesday. It was SO hard!! I didn't think I would make it out I was SO tired... However, I made it and I never want to go hiking again... Adam and I are planning some pretty cool stuff to do next week since I have the whole week off for us to play and explore. We are going to go Kayaking, Snorkeling, Hiking (suck...), Surfing, Helicopter Ride, and much much more! Tomorrow night the Pecks, Capuanos and us are going to have a bonfire with dinner and musical performances by the wonderful Adam Armstrong. It should be fun. The kids just love him, it is very fun to see him interact with them so well. I am glad he likes them. They are going to be very sad when he leaves, too bad he is leaving, I wish he could stay the rest of the time I am here... Saturday is Terisa's birthday!! We will be spending the whole day with the Pecks in celebration! I am SUPER excited! Speaking of which, I need to work on her birthday present... Eek...
I am slowing starting to figure out my future plans after graduation. I will be leaving Texas and I am pretty sure I will be heading up north to Minnesota for a few months just to be with my family up there for a change. I also plan to try and come back to Hawaii some time next spring and see my family here, I don't think I can go 6 months without seeing them. They move out of Hawaii in 6 months. I will for sure have to fly out, I will miss them way too much! I hope to have for sure plans about what is going on after graduation over the next couple of weeks. I'll be sure to let you all know where I will be heading as soon as I know!
It is late so I am going to put a few pictures up and then go to bed. I love and miss you all!

Freaking sick again!
There is a virus going around base. Everyone is getting sick. First it was Hunter, then Bella, then me and a bunch of kids at the Youth Center. I have been throwing up pretty much non-stop since yesterday morning. It is no fun! However, I am using the time on the couch to research graduate school.
Sunday I moved into the Capuano house. I like it here, however I do miss living at the Pecks. Kathy has been very kind to me while I have been sick. I appreciate these two families so very much. I took Terisa to the airport on Monday night, she is spending a week in Colorado with her family. I miss her, we have gotten really close the past few weeks. She is like a mom but way too young to actually be a mom to me. So really its like having a really awesome way older big sister. I love the Peck family! As soon as Terisa gets back into town I am moving back into their house. I just didn't want to stay there with it only being Bruce and the kids.
Anywho, I have been looking into graduate school and the Navy Reserves. No decisions yet. I am waiting for UNCO to call me back to discuss the Educational Leadership MA with me. I also am going to talk to Bruce about the reserves and see what that could do for me. It would be like a part-time job with great benefits, I would also still be an officer since I have a degree. That's pretty cool. We shall see. I'll know more about whether I want to attend UNCO after they call me back.
I hate being sick... So in two weeks I am going to be hiking the Kalalau Trail, 22 miles of intensity!! We are taking four days to go and hike this amazing trail along the NaPali Coast! So far I think it is Brenda, Justin, Tim, Adam and myself. I am going to be SO tired afterwards but it will be SO much fun!! I can not wait!! Laurie and the Cap are doing it this weekend so I am excited to hear what they think about the trail so I know what to look for while I am out there. Geeze, I wish it would get here already. But then again, if it gets here fast that means I leave soon which is something I do NOT want to do. Leaving is not something that makes me happy... I almost cried just having to leave the Peck house and go next door to the Capuanos. Having Hunter make those sad eyes at me because I was moving next door made me so sad. For a week in December it will just be me and the kids. December 1st-5th Terisa and Bruce will be on Oahu. So it will be me flying solo with 3 kids for 5 days. Crazy!! I am really excited though. However after that I will be very very sad to leave this family the following week... I can't believe it is coming so soon, that I am leaving so soon. I just can't fathom it! It sucks!
Well, I better try to eat something again. Maybe this time it will be a success... I sure hope so!

What to do!!
Join the Navy??? Travel and serve my country...
Go to Graduate School in CO??? Really sweet MA Education Leadership at UNCO... I've got a place I would be able to stay and live at while I attended UNCO.
Stay in Texas and work at Southlake??? Part-time Rec Staff job...
Stay in Texas and find a career??? I have no idea what I would do...
Move somewhere else??? Find a job in some other State and hope it is awesome...
Blah.... I don't even know what to do!!!! Suggestions???? I don't even know what career path I want to take. I want to work with kids, however I am not qualified enough to be a teacher. That is why I like the Education Leadership program. It is 30hrs, and I don't have to take the GRE! I major plus... I refuse to take the GRE....
Well it is Halloween! I am supposed to be SuperGirl. I have my costume but I really don't want to go out tonight. I really have just gotten on such a pattern of going to bed by 10pm and getting up by 6:30am that I don't really want to mess up that pattern. Plus Zach has a game tomorrow morning in Hanapepe at 8am which I plan to attend, so I don't want to stay out late anyways.
Okay, back to work... blah!

Sorry for such a delay in posting. I've kind of removed myself from the world of technology. I have had a fantastic time since my last post though!!!
I have been staying with this family on base, I pretty much have moved in and spend all of my time here. The Peck's are wonderful and I am so very thankful for them. We have so much fun together. They have 3 kids, ages 6, 10 and 13. At night I read Hunter a book when he goes to bed, it is fun! I don't play on the computer anymore, I don't watch TV anymore, I eat healthy, I live healthy. It is awesome! I usually go to bed around 9:30-10pm and wake up about 5:30-6:30. I like actually being awake for the day instead of sleeping half of it way. I feel so much more productive getting up and enjoying my day. This morning though I was going to actually sleep in since I had a very long day yesterday. Terisa was going to let me sleep and told the kiddo's to allow me to do so. However she left at 5:15am to teach an aerobics class. Hunter woke up and was sad that his mom was gone so I went and got in bed with him in Terisa's room. After that I never fully went back to sleep. I got up with the kids and helped them get ready for school. It is fun getting up and doing things like that. I sleep with my door open, and yesterday morning Terisa was getting up to go run at 4am. She went to shut my door and it scared the crap out of me. I woke up and was wide awake and could not go back to sleep. That is why I was going to sleep in today. I was so tired last night that I fell asleep reading Hunter a bedtime book. Then Terisa woke me up to go get in my bed, man I was SO tired! Yesterday I had fun too, we went to the beach and I saw dolphins! Then good food was eaten. Good food is always eaten over here! Man, I really enjoy being here at the Peck's! I will probably not be posting as much as I have in the past. I see no need to be addicted to the Internet/email/cell phone/ipod/any electronics. I leave my phone behind all the time now. I actually didn't even have my laptop for over a week! I am very proud of myself!
I had my special project on Saturday! The Halloween Thriller! It was fantastic!!! I couldn't have expected it to go any better! Everyone had a great time, adults and children! I am very proud that I was able to pull it off, I have never planned an event before so it was quite a rush that I actually pulled it off!!
Well, I am going to do some laundry and clean up the house before I go off to AB's class. I hope all is well with all of you!

Unless your name is Bryan then this post means nothing to you and you shouldn't even bother reading... :)
Hey Man, I've gotten your comments. I don't really know how to respond to you other than posting on here. If you have an email you should send it to me. No fishing, hula or surfing as of yet... I will get it done though before I leave, don't worry! I'll take pictures too so you can see. I need to give you a call sometime, maybe next week after things slow down a bit for me. I've got a party I am putting on for the Youth Center on Saturday so I'm quite busy with that, but I'll give you a call next week for sure! You better answer! I hope all is well, I miss you man! Aloha!

I am finally so happy in Hawaii. I'm not bummed about being away from home at all now. For the past six weeks I have missed Texas very much. However, I'm really loving being away from Texas. I still miss the people, I'll always miss the people I love and care about. However, Texas itself, I could care less about now. I always thought Texas would be where I reside forever. Psh, not now!
I did a spinning class for the first time ever today. Terisa convinced me to go. It was SO painful! For those of you that don't know what a spinning class is, it is stationary bike riding. As a reward Terisa made me dinner, a wonderful salad! I ate like 4 giant plates full! I haven't had food so good the entire time I have been here. I really enjoy spending time at Terisa's house. Great food and great company. Tonight I played board games with the kiddo's and then had dinner with Terisa and we chatted for a few hours. It was so nice to just sit and talk. We have a lot in common, I like that. It just makes me happy to have a place on base that I can go to whenever I want and know that it will be like home. I don't want to leave in December. I wish with all of my heart that I could stay for a few more months or a year or a couple of years. I know it can't happen, but it would be so wonderful. I will just have to be thankful for the 3 1/2 months that I am getting!
Well, I've got a super early day tomorrow. I have to be in Kalaheo at 7am... Suck! Not that Kalaheo means anything to you guys. You don't even know what it is. Kalaheo is a town that is about 35-40 minutes away. So that means I must wake at 6am. I don't do mornings, anyone who knows me knows that I do NOT do mornings. Ugh, it will be fine. I just need to go to bed. I am going to eat some of the brownies Terisa made and then go to bed. Oh, also, she got me to drink organic 1% milk. Loved it!!! I'm totally going organic on milk from now on. It doesn't have the horrible smell that normal milk has. Yay! And it's good for you, woohoo!
Okay for real, I'm leaving now. Aloha!

Fantastical!
So, in my previous post I spoke of a bonfire/campout that I was not too excited about. Well... I got there at like 6:15ish. Stayed till about 6:45ish. I left to go to the housing side of base and go to the beach down there and read my book with my flashlight. However, when I arrived to the area in which I planned to read I found a party! A kid party!! Just my type! I ran around with all of the kiddo's for a good 2 hours until like 9ish. After it was time for all the little children to go inside and go to bed I went and helped Terisa unload her car from going to Costco. I ended up hanging out at her house until like 10:30ish. It was fun, she fed me, which was nice because I was quite hungry! Good times. Afterwards I thought I should go back to the bonfire/campout. I got there and it just wasn't fun for me. I left at like 10:45ish and went to the Captain's house and played Apples to Apples with Laurie, Shawn, Tyler, Corry, and two other people I didn't know. I think they were Shawn's friends...?? After Apples to Apples we watched a really stupid zombie movie. It was horrible but kind of funny... I'm just now getting home at 2am. I'm beat! I need to go to sleep because I'm playing paintball with them tomorrow! My evening turned out to be wonderful when I expected it to suck! Yay!!!!
Okay, now for a bowl of cereal and bedtime! I'm beat!!!

Yuk...
So, I've been quite sick... Sunday after the Navy Ball I got sick. I was down and out all week. I actually still feel kind of under the weather... It got so bad that I ended up going to the ER on Wednesday to get pumped with fluids and medicine so I could keep some food down, I had been throwing up for like 2 days before hand. It helped some but not really. They said I had food poisoning, I disagree. I was so miserable, I still am kinda. People on base have been so kind to me though while I've been sick. On Wednesday Laurie took me to the ER and sat there with me for hours while they did their thing. Then she took me to the store to stock up on sick people food. Then Terisa made me cookies yesterday, very yummy cookies! People keep asking how I am feeling and checking up on me. Word spread pretty fast that I was really sick. It is a small place, word does travel really fast around here.
Yesterday was the first day that I didn't actually sleep all day long. I went to work and did some stuff and then went on a relaxing boat cruise, well kind of relaxing. The gang was being a little crazy... I brought a book and was just trying to kick back and relax. However, they didn't really allow that to happen. At one point Eric like rolled on top of me and smashed my ankle against the seat, I was very unhappy about that. Then we went and walked around Hanapepe for a bit and then headed back to Shenanigans. That is where I finally had fun. I split up from the rest of the group and hung out with a new crowd. I have found that I like to hang out with the older crowd here on base. I just sat around chatting with people for hours and I didn't hear a single gay joke or joke about religion, it was such a nice change of pace. I hung out there until like 1:30am. Then I finally made my way home to bed. That was the most fun I have had in a while, and I didn't drink at all. I decided to quit completely. Never ever again!
Today I went to a birthday party for a bit and hung out with Terisa and a few others. Then tonight the 3 stooges are having a bonfire camp out here on base at Major's Bay. I'm not very excited. I don't really want to go but I feel like I have to. I just really like hanging out with the older crowd much more than people my age. They are starting to bother me a little. I think I just need a break from hanging out and spend some time alone, maybe that will help. Yeah, I need alone time. Maybe tomorrow I will peace out on everyone and go relax at the beach and read a book. Or maybe I'll put up my awesome hammock and take a nap. Ah, much needed alone relaxing time!
Oh, today Terisa asked me if I would stay at her house and watch her kids for a few nights in December while her and the XO have to go to some thing out of town, I'm excited!! Her kiddo's are pretty dang cool! It will be lots of fun!
Anywho, I am going to go now. I guess I should get ready for the stupid camp out tonight. I am SO not excited about watching a lot of people get trashed and be stupid... And because it is the younger crowd I know the older peeps won't come out. Especially since some of their kids are my age and they don't really go hang out with their kids... Yeah, anyways... I just need to try to have a positive mind about it. Ah!
Aloha.
Yesterday was the first day that I didn't actually sleep all day long. I went to work and did some stuff and then went on a relaxing boat cruise, well kind of relaxing. The gang was being a little crazy... I brought a book and was just trying to kick back and relax. However, they didn't really allow that to happen. At one point Eric like rolled on top of me and smashed my ankle against the seat, I was very unhappy about that. Then we went and walked around Hanapepe for a bit and then headed back to Shenanigans. That is where I finally had fun. I split up from the rest of the group and hung out with a new crowd. I have found that I like to hang out with the older crowd here on base. I just sat around chatting with people for hours and I didn't hear a single gay joke or joke about religion, it was such a nice change of pace. I hung out there until like 1:30am. Then I finally made my way home to bed. That was the most fun I have had in a while, and I didn't drink at all. I decided to quit completely. Never ever again!
Today I went to a birthday party for a bit and hung out with Terisa and a few others. Then tonight the 3 stooges are having a bonfire camp out here on base at Major's Bay. I'm not very excited. I don't really want to go but I feel like I have to. I just really like hanging out with the older crowd much more than people my age. They are starting to bother me a little. I think I just need a break from hanging out and spend some time alone, maybe that will help. Yeah, I need alone time. Maybe tomorrow I will peace out on everyone and go relax at the beach and read a book. Or maybe I'll put up my awesome hammock and take a nap. Ah, much needed alone relaxing time!

After Graduation....
I have no idea what to do after graduation. I feel that I should start to put some thought into it so that I am not completely clueless when I get back to Texas. Being here on base and living the military life really makes me want to join the military. I could see the world! I would be an Officer because I have a degree, which is a bonus. I thought about the Air Force but I spoke with a recruiter and it is about 1 1/2 year process to become an Officer in the Air Force and they only accept 400 people every year. Even then they hardly accept Officers into the MWR career field. However, now I am really starting to love the Navy. Just being here, the family closeness of living on base. After the Navy Ball I am really becoming fond of the Navy and think I would be very happy with the Navy. I am going to talk to the XO's wife and the Captain's wife and see what they think. They have been Navy wives for a long time and it would be nice to hear what they have thought about living the military life for this long. If I like what they have to say then I will talk to a recruiter and see what they have to say about career options.
I really can't think of any other career options after graduation. I mean I could just hang around Denton for the rest of my life and be a part-time worker for the City of Southlake until something better opens up and I can get a full-time job... That just doesn't seem exciting to me. I want excitement. Even if it is not working with kids, I don't really care. I just can't think of a career that I will enjoy other than the military. I don't really know why I have such a desire to be apart of the military. I really think this is where I belong.
Any comments, questions, concerns about my future career choices??? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Those who read this regularly are those whose comments I value greatly. So bring it on!
I'm home sick today. Last week at Fall Camp we had a few kids get really sick and I think they may have passed it along to me. I've been feeling a little crummy since late last week and now I just full on feel like crap!! I've been in bed not moving for hours because if I move it goes very badly... Being sick makes me miss my sister very very much! Erica was always good at taking care of me when I was sick. Guess I'll have to learn to take care of myself... Bummer. :)

Navy Ball 2008!!
The Navy Ball was awesome!!! I had a fantastic time!! Eric picked me up around 2:30 and we headed up to the Hilton in Lihue. The Ball didn't start till 5pm but Eric had to be there early because he is on the Honor Guard and had to rehearse for the Flag Ceremony. After he rehearsed we walked around the Hilton for a little bit and then went back into the Ball Room when the Ball started at 5. The first hour was just a social hour and picture time. They had a professional photographer there, we got our picture taken, I don't have it yet though. The Ball started at 6pm and started off with Eric, Josh (a picture of him is down in my pictures somewhere), and Jessica doing the Flag Ceremony. Then they did some other announcements and traditional things. Then a speaker talked for like 45 minutes, that part was kind of boring. Afterwards they had a dinner and everyone ate and had a good time. After dinner was the fun stuff!! Dance Party What!!! Yep, we danced from about 8:30-Midnight. Good times!!! After we danced the night away we headed down to the Beach to hang out for a while. We hung out there until about 1:30 and then a few of us decided we were hungry so we went to Oki Diner! I finally was home and in bed going to sleep about 4am. It was a long long awesome day!!!
It was such an awesome experience! I met some awesome people and hung out with a lot of important Navy people. It was fun dancing around and goofing off with people like the Executive Officer and several other officers. Eric and I were the last ones to leave along with a few Officers and their wives and the CO and his wife Laurie. At the beach party it was a small group of people just hanging out. I liked it because it wasn't this huge party with all of the people who went to the Navy Ball. It was pretty much the same people who left the Ball with us plus a few others. It was nice to hang out with people other than my regular group. Oh, and I met Eric's friends Josh and April. They are married with two kiddos. April is awesome! I really enjoyed hanging out with them, they were good fun people! Anywho, there was not a moment about the night that I did not enjoy! It took me about an hour to loosen up and get out on the dance floor. I was pretty shy at first, but April pulled me out there and made me dance, which I am very thankful for. I would have been mad at myself if I had not danced. We did a Conga Line! Jessica started a Conga line and pretty much everyone there hopped in and danced around the Ball Room. It was so awesome!! Man, I had a fantastic time!!!
I'm going to stop typing now so you can take a look at the pictures! You can see the whole album online at http://picasaweb.google.com/allen.becca.

Awesomeness!
So, this post will only apply to people who live in Denton... Sorry all you others.
Everyone in Denton at some point or another should have visited Eureka Playground at Southlakes Park. It is an awesome playground. They brought in this specialist guy, Robert Leathers. He worked with the community and designed and built Eureka Playground. It is quite a place actually, huge! Completely built by volunteers! The design of this playground is unique only to Robert Leathers and there are not very many in the world... So all that to say, Denton has a VERY unique playground. Pretty much a one of a kind!
Today we went on a field trip to Lydgate Park. Guess what I saw?!?!?! Another Robert Leathers design!! I walked up and when I saw it I just was overwhelmed with happiness. I knew right away that it was designed by the same guy. I asked Genevieve if she knew anything about the playground and she said that some guy came in and worked with the community and they all built it together. Just like Denton!!!! I told her about how we have a playground just like it back home, except ours is much bigger. I mean the design itself is different, but Robert Leathers has very distinctive parts of his designs that he uses every time. The wooden castle like structure. The rock art in the seats. The engravings on the walls. It was so much alike, yet so different!
I came home and looked it up to make sure it was built by the same guy and sure enough!! It was like being back home in Denton for a little while. Now if I get homesick I am just going to go up to Lydgate Park and read or something. It really made me happy just to see a little bit of home all the way in Kauai!
Here are some pictures of the playground at Lydgate Park. You Denton peeps should pick up right away how similar they are!

eh...
I'm tired and I don't really feel all that well. My throat has been hurting for a few days and I get tired very easily lately. Hopefully it gets better before Saturday. Tomorrow we are going on a field trip for work. I'll be outside all day in the sun, I don't think that is going to help how I am feeling... Eh, oh well.
Oh, I decided to take the dress back that I bought for the Ball. I don't really like it anymore. It is an off-white color and Eric has to wear his Dress Whites and I think it would look bad if I wore off-white. I have a black dress that I am going to wear now. I think it would look better.
Well, I should pack my bag for tomorrow. We've got a LONG day! I like to pack lots of snacks because I'm a fatty and eat like 500 times a day...
Night.

Update.
I've been here one month.... Yesterday was the mark. I can't believe it! It flew by and now I only have 2 1/2 months. I am kind of bummed but also kind of happy. There are things about being here that I enjoy and things about being here that I don't enjoy. I enjoy the beauty, I enjoy my job, I enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, I enjoy so many things. I like that I have friends, it is fun. We have a primary group of friends; Me, Brenda and the 3 stooges (Eric, Tim and Justin). The term 3 stooges is really the best way to describe these boys. They are crazy ridiculous and fun. I do enjoy hanging out with them and have fun anytime they are around. However, they are not like any of my friends back home. I am very different, I don't really do things that point that out to them, but I am very different from them. It is hard to explain... Anyways, as much fun as I am having I still miss my friends and life back home.
The Gang!
From Left to Right. Me, Brenda, Eric, Justin, Tim
Yesterday I went out to Po'ipu on a snorkeling trip that Brenda had arranged for the PMRF Base Outdoor Adventure Center. It was nice and relaxing. I saw a Hawaiian Monk Seal!!! When I got here I said that if I went home without seeing a Monk Seal I would be totally bummed and the trip would have been a failure... No failure now!!! I saw one! Woohoo!!! Also at Po'ipu while we were relaxing on the beach all of these people started crowding by the water. I was curious what all of the commotion was about so I walked over and took a peek. They were doing baptisms and singing songs about Jesus. It was convicting. It made me sad. As I stood there in amazement of their love for Christ the people I was with were just bashing them. Just making horrible jokes and comments about Jesus and what those amazing people were doing. It broke my heart and made me want to come home. I miss being around people who love Jesus. It was a very convicting day and I don't really know what to do next. Makes me wish I didn't take all of the wonderful friends/family/church/community for granted back home...
I had quite a weekend too:
Thursday I went Sand Sliding at Polihale with Tim, Brenda and Justin.
Friday I went on a sunset boat cruise with Brenda and the 3 Stooges. Then we went to Shipwrecks Beach and goofed around on the beach. Then we went to Keoki's and goofed around. Then we went back to Base and hung out at Shenanigans and goofed around. Played some beach volleyball! It was a late night with lots of crazy stories. On the boat they had unlimited Sniki Tikis, an alcoholic beverage. The others all had quite a few, they all got pretty T-Rashed... I volunteered to be the DD. They were all doing very silly things after round number 7... At Shipwrecks beach they boys decided to have a drunken wrestling match. Pretty funny! At Keoki's there was more drinking involved and more craziness. On the way to Shenanigans the 3 stooges decided that the van should be more like a jeep. So they opened both of the sliding doors... Then as I was driving they started hanging out of the doors and coming in through the front passenger window. It was very very stupid and unsafe. They were pretty wasted at this point... Once we arrived at Shenanigans I had a couple Mai Tai's. Since we were on base that meant I was in the clear to drink, I'm friends with the Base Cops so I know I won't get in trouble for drinking and driving. I was way more sober than anyone else anyways. We played volleyball, it was so much fun. However, very difficult to do in a dress... I finally got home and in bed at like 1:30-2amish. The two Mai Tai's I had made my stomach hurt really bad. I think my ulcers have decided alcohol is not my friend. I've been drinking more than normal these past few months and I have reached my limit. If I keep drinking I will end up in the hospital with stupid stomach issues again, I refuse to let that happen. So no more drinking... I'm kind of glad I have a good excuse to not drink.
Saturday after Po'ipu snorkeling I went and bought a hammock. We are planning some overnight hiking adventures and I need something compact to put in my pack to sleep in. I'm pretty excited about it! Then Brenda and I did some shopping in Lihue. I got an awesome dress for the Navy Ball! Oh, I am going to the Navy Ball. Eric asked me to go with him. It should be lots of fun. It is next Saturday, so soon!
This morning, Sunday, I got up and we went and met the 3 Stooges for brunch at the Sheraton. It was pretty good food, kind of expensive, but still good. Afterwards we went on a hike to some hidden beaches, it was pretty fun! However, we were all wearing flip-flops and got our feet cut up by these giant thorns. That was no bueno! Other than that is was quite a beautiful hike!
Alright, well I've got Fall Camp starting tomorrow. I should get some sleep before I try to manage all of those crazy kids!!! I've been feeling kind of yucky the past couple of days, I think I am not getting enough sleep. Hopefully that will change though, I don't want to get sick!

Feelin' Good!
I went on a sunset cruise tonight. Then a nice dinner at Keoki's. Then one too many Mai Tais at Shenanigans. Then some kicking butt at volleyball. My team won! Of course! Well, it is almost 2am and I've got a 10am snorkeling trip to catch later today so I should go to bed. Pictures will come later. Eric has the good ones so I need to get his camera, once I do you will have plenty to see from my fantastical evening, the evening that should have ended 2 hours ago but for some reason I just keep going. Okay, I'm done. Pass out time now! Woohoo!!!
We had SO much fun tonight. Many stories to come!

Waterfall adventure with Eric
Eric is my new friend! He is in the Navy and works on base as a cop. I met him Wednesday at the Galley. The Galley is a great place to meet people! Anyways, Friday Eric was off of work so I took the day off to go exploring. He has been here for like 2 years and knows where all of the cool places to go are. So he took me to a few awesome waterfalls! These are waterfalls that you are supposed to look at from the lookout point up on the road, however Eric and I climbed down the falls to the bottom so we could swim. It was quite dangerously exciting!! Woohoo!!
First stop was Wailua Falls. I liked Wailua Falls, but it had been raining a lot in the mountains so the water was kind of dirty. We didn't swim because of this... I still liked it a lot though. It was a very muddy hike to get down to the bottom.
Second stop was Opaeka'a Falls, this was by far my favorite waterfall. It was so quiet and NO one else was around. It was quite a hike down to get to it, but totally worth it. The water was perfect! It was beyond beautiful!
Third stop was Kipu Falls. Kipu Falls is more of a recreational waterfall. It was very easy to get to. No intense hiking, which was a nice break! It was low enough where you could jump off of the cliff down into the bottom. They also had a rope that you could swing off of into the water. I did both! It was quite thrilling!!! I did fall down and kind of hurt myself though... I was walking on the rocks at the top of the falls and slipped. I fell in between some rocks and hit my knee pretty hard. In the process my sunglasses went flying and are now at the bottom of Kipu... Bummer! However, I did score some awesome Aviators out of it. Eric gave me his Aviators and I look totally boss in them!
Last Eric showed me The Grand Hyatt. It was the most beautiful hotel I have ever seen!!!
This is a weird freaky looking goose at the Hyatt...
