Too Funny!

Tom sent me this photo of himself, Matt (his CO) and a random baby. I think it is hilarious!

Where will we go?

I have been keeping pretty busy, but not really doing much too exciting lately. I dove a few times in the last couple weeks, no pictures because my underwater camera died.

I also did a couple of "failed" hikes. "Failed" meaning that I did not find the destination or even the trail I was looking for. I am going again this afternoon with a friend, and I am determined to find the waterfall this time!

My big accomplishment over Labor Day weekend was to clean my closet, and I have actually kept it that way since then. I am working on establishing a good habit before Tom comes home (which is now sometime later in October, by the way, we don't know when). You know, they say it takes weeks to establish a good habit and luckily for me, I have those weeks to work with. Now, if that is not seeing the upside in a crappy, long separation from Tom, I don't know what is. So, anyway, although not exciting, here is a picture of the closet as it has been for the past two weeks. I am determined this time to break a life-long messy closet habit.

Perhaps by showing everyone this picture, I will feel bound to keeping it organized and clean.

I also flew up to Saipan and back for work last week. I was there for a couple of days and got to have dinner with our friends Julie and Rusty Friday night.

You may be wondering what the title of this post is all about. Well, the Shopping List of jobs for our impending transfer came out. So, now the reality that we are almost done with this tour in Guam is very real. We are looking over the list, trying to find the best jobs which will allow us co-location. This is not as easy a task as it may sound. Unfortunately, since Tom is delayed, we will not be able to talk in person about this rather large decision, and will have to do it over the phone. We will make do. I am more disappointed that he will not be home for his Birthday or our Wedding Anniversary this year. I even already have his birthday present (unheard of for me, as most of you know). Speaking of Birthdays, Happy (slightly belated) Birthday to Peggy and Karen, who share a birthday in August!

Next weekend I fly to Virginia again. I have a week of training in Williamsburg, then I will spend the weekend with Karen and Rahul and Krishnan. I am looking forward to that, although not necessarily to the flights...

Hopefully I will have some waterfall pics to post later on today.

Update: Ah, Guam. Turns out that the only place it rained today was in the valley where the waterfall I intended to hike to is. Good for falling water, bad for hikers. We abandoned the hike about halfway in for fear of the muddy, slippery, steep traverse back out. Somehow it would be very embarrassing for two CG officers to need inland SAR assistance. I will not be deterred, though, I will see Upper Sigua Falls if it is the last thing I do on Guam!
