Annoyed?!

Well I had a HUGE long blog post typed out and right before I was getting ready to enter it.. I some how closed out of it! Well that just sucks!! I haven't been on in a week because I have been trying to get ahead in school. My mother in law is coming here to visit and arrives in just two days. I figured I needed to get ahead in school so that I could enjoy my time visiting without stressing out. So for the last week I have done nothing but sit in front of the computer taking exams, writing papers, and doing homework. But I am ahead in two classes and my other class is pretty easy so I should be good to go!! Besides school I have also stayed busy taking photos!

 

It has been fun taking photos of all the kids. They are so darn cute. It makes me SO excited to be a mother. I can NOT believe I am almost 31 weeks. 9 1/2 weeks to go!! I hate to jinx it but it has flown by!! Lately my belly has been hurting so I think Audrey is growing!! Also my legs KILL during the middle of the night. I want to chop them off! It will all be over soon though. Besides Eric's mom coming in 2 days, Eric and I are going to a concert on Saturday... I am super excited. Lady Antebellum, Darius Rucker, and Thompson Square. It is going to be a great concert and a nice date with the husband before our peanut gets here!

I left off a question 9... I know I know I should be done with these questions by now BUT I have been busy and school comes first! So I will answer a couple of them to give you guys something to read!

10. Describe your most embarrassing moment.

Oh where to begin.... I have lots of embarrassing moments. My most recent would have to be when Eric and I went out to lunch at Chilis. My morning sickness (really all day sickness) had started to wind down some. Normally I can tell if I am about to get sick but this particular day I had no warning. I got sick at the table. I couldn't stop throwing up. When I finally made it to the bathroom I busted into one of the stalls and didn't bother to shut door. There was a little girl in there who kept asking her mom what was wrong with me. I explained to her that I was pregnant and it was not the food lol.

11. Describe 10 pet peeves you have.

1. When drivers ride my a**

Shoot me now?

Sorry I have been slacking on posting to my blog I was reminded by my friend I need to get on it ;) I have been REALLY busy lately. I started working on my photography. I have been enjoying that and staying busy and working on my classes. I took 2 exams yesterday and did a photo shoot. Today I am shooting 5 little kids.... I am going to have my hands full!! I am off to a frustrating day. I didn't get much sleep. Then I went to the ATM to withdraw money and left my card. I called the store and the manager said she tried to get to it but it got eaten by the machine before she could :/ So I had to call the bank that services that machine.... they are telling me it will take 4 weeks to get my card back or I can pay $100 to get it back within the next couple days.... SCREW YOU!!! So I called my bank back home where the card is from (only access we have to our money is that card!!!) and am having them send the another card. The card I just had I JUST got from them. So this will be my third card while being here. At least they were nice about it :( It has been quite a day already!!

BUT

on the bright side. I meet a really nice military wife who is moving off the island. She gave me tons of props for photography really cheap cause I am going to do photos of her and her hubby. She is also
helping me out on great places to take photos here on the island. Its always nice to meet someone so helpful and nice. Made me feel good. I have multiple sessions I am doing today for free. I am working on building up my portfolio so people can see some of my work. I am super excited to use the new props and see how they turn out :)

I left off on question 7 so here is 8:

8. What are 5 passions you have?

1. Scrap booking
2. Photography
3. Cooking
4. Country activities lol (dirt biking, quads)
5. Horses :)


So I will try to be better and post more but bare with me. Between school and photography and my husband I am a busy girl ;) I am going to take my accounting exam tomorrow. Wish me luck!!

Dreams

I have been having crazy dreams lately. I almost feel as if I haven't slept upon waking. Last night I had a dream I asked Eric to slow down in the car (he has a lead foot). Instead of slowing down he decided to drive super fast to be a smart ass. Well he ended up getting us in a car crash. It was scary cause I was preggo in the dream too :( I texted him about it and his response was " I wouldn't have crashed"... typical!! Yesterday was Eric's 1 year anniversary in the army. I took him to game stop and bought him a game. He had just completed his last game. He may as well enjoy playing while he can ;) After we went to dinner at our favorite Chinese place on the island thus far. When I got home I sat on the computer while Eric played his game. I have become addicted to Songpop on Facebook. It is so fun!!

OHH I also got some Christmas shopping done yesterday. I got my mother and mother in law done... I am kind of excited to give them their present! I am super Happy it is finally the weekend. I haven't gotten to sleep in and just lay in bed in what feels like AGES. Next week its back to my normal routine and I can get my school work done and concentrate. I am pretty excited ;) I don't think Eric and I are going to be doing much of anything this weekend besides relaxing. It has been a busy couple weeks.


Today's question:

7. What is your dream job, and why?

I would be a prosecuting attorney. I have always wanted to be a lawyer. It is my dream to go to law school at some point. It would be nice to work for the government and work on cases and look at evidence. Just the thought of looking at evidence and walking into a court room to present it makes my heart happy ;)

Hardest thing

 This morning I was feeling crafty so I decided to make a page with Audrey's Hawaiian name on it. I thought it would be neat for her to remember as she will be born here :) I am not sure if I am going to scrapbook it or frame it. I just got back from my daily 2 mile walk around Helemano with my friend Kat. I think it may have tuckered Keely out cause she is in a daze and when I tried to feed her lunch she started crying. I laid her down and put on Dora and I have a feeling she is going to be down for the count. I told her we would go to the park later today with Kat and the kids she is babysitting... we shall see if she is awake for that ;)



I have an accounting exam coming up that I am getting nervous for. I haven't had any time to just work on school yet. Between visitors and babysitting I am wore out. It will be nice to be back to normal next week and get caught up on homework and feel relaxed. I can not believe tomorrow I am 29 weeks pregnant. The time has FLOWN by! Although I can't physically be at the shower I am super pumped for it. Its over skype and it will be fun to see everyone!!

I am on question 6 on my 30 day list, so here it is:


6. What is the hardest thing you have ever experienced?

The hardest thing I have done lately is say goodbye to my family and go through this whole pregnancy without my mom. Not having her here when i deliver I know is going to kill me. It breaks my heart to think about it now :(  As much as we may fight sometimes... she is my rock and keeps me afloat when I am down. 

Do over

We said goodbye to Deb on Monday night. We took her to the airport about 7:30pm. It was sad to see her go :( It was really nice to have someone from home come visit. I must say though I was wore out. I am not used to being on the go all day specially sense being pregnant. Yesterday I had to do my three hour glucose test because I failed my one hour.I got to the lab at 7am when they opened and I was at the lab just under 4 hours. They missed a couple times so I ended up getting stabbed 6 times :( I miss my Sparrow friends lol. I had a doctors appointment couple hours later where they told me I passed!! I am super glad I do not have to worry about diabetes or my baby due to it! It was a long day between the lab and doctors so I went to be early. The rest of this week I am babysitting my neighbors little girl. She is a cutie but I must say after the tiring week touring the island and this week babysitting I will be glad to go back to normal. I need to catch up on homework reading and get ahead cause Eric's mom comes in 3 weeks! I am ready to sleep for days ;)

Right before Deb got here I planned on writing everyday and answering a question from the list of questions. I have failed on doing that. I am going to start back on that starting today! I have answered the first four questions so I will answer number 5 today!

Aukele

We Picked up Deb from the airport on Monday night. We took here back to our house and showed her around. I had made BBQ Pulled chicken and had it ready in the crock pot for her.

Tuesday- We went to Waikiki and walked around the strop and had lunch. I showed her Waikiki beach and we went to the Army museum there. I made stir fry for dinner. She had shipped me my favorite stir fry sauce so I had to show her why we loved it so much ;) After dinner we went North Shore and watched the sunset. It was absolutely beautiful! We got some shaved ice on the way home!

Wednesday- Deb and I went to Pearl Harbor while Eric worked. She really enjoyed the audio tour of one of the old Subs. We had lunch at Chilis... my favorite!! Then we went to the swap meet at the Aloha Stadium. It is basically a ton of vendors selling stuff for really cheap. She got a lot of stuff for her family back home so that was fun!!

Thursday- We got up early so I could go into the lab to do my glucose test fasting. After we went to Dole where they grow pineapples. They have the best pineapple ice cream there... if only I knew I failed my glucose test before eating that ice cream!! Then we went to an area where the royal use to give birth. It was not as cool as I expected. It was pretty much trees and stones lol. After that we headed to the north shore to do some shopping! After Eric got out of work we headed to the North Shore for dinner at Breakers. Then we went to Sharks Cove where Eric snorkeled and we watched the sunset. This time it was not as pretty :(

Friday- We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center. It was like a park full of different islands cultures. It was pretty neat. We got to do and see things from each station. We had dinner and a luau here as well. The food was REALLY good!! I learned that Audrey's name in Hawaiian is Aukele. I ended up getting a bracelet made with her name on it. Then we went to a show called Breath of Life where it was hawaiian dancing and fire dancers. It was the best part!

Saturday- We headed over to Pali Lookout on H3. It has AMAZING views but it is super windy!! We had lunch at a pub and grill. They had amazing food. We drove over to Kualoa Ranch where we did a movie site tour. It had the best views of the mountains. Eric and I were obsessed with the show Lost so it was really neat to see a lot of their sites and props. They had a horse ranch where they do tours and I wanted on it so bad!! After I give birth you will find me there ;) Then we headed over to Macadamia nut farm. It was pretty neat. They had a ton of different types of macadamia nuts. Eric just cooked hamburgers on the grill and now we are getting ready to watch a movie and settle down for the night. We are going to wake up at 5am to hike Diamond head before the sun beats down on us. 

Here are pictures from the last couple days:
