The holes are gone but the smell is not.

Well after cutting many, many holes in my walls and finding and repairing some leak then sealing them back up yesterday the smell is still there.

No I'm not joking, I'm serious.

We even opened up all the windows to air out the house to make sure it's not the same air recirculating and today is still smells.

Oh joy.

Maybe that's why I've had so many headaches since we've been here.

And for Amanda I'm not the only one who smells it! :P

Holes, holes, everywhere holes

Not just the hole in my shirt either! :)

Hey I only walked to the bus stop and I'm wearing fleece pants, it's quite the look.

So anyways the holes I'm referring to are the ones that are currently being cut into my walls. At least it's only in the bathrooms and most importantly I'm not the one who has to fix it!

Did I ever post on here about the smell that comes from my A/C closet? I can't remember and frankly I'm too lazy too look so I'll pretend I haven't and just tell you about it now.

I have a smell that comes from my A/C closet.

See how easy that was? Much simpler then looking through months of old posts. Maybe that's why people labels their posts? Anyways...

So in yet another effort to find the cause of the smell they have begun cutting holes in the walls to get to the pipes. Earlier this week they told me they wanted to move us to a different house but I informed them that was not an option. No way, no how. If they decide to rip out the bathroom, it's behind the A/C closet, or the kitchen then they can pay for us to stay in a hotel for a week but there is no way we are moving. We finally got pictures hung up and mostly unpacked and I'm not starting over. Plus most importantly Brianna is having a hard enough time with the move that I am not adding to it. She knows everyone on our street and this is home for the 2.5 years we have left in Guam.

Cross your fingers that this will give them some answers! I'm tired of the smell and the workers at my house all the time!

Video

So it's hard to video Grace while she is at Judo practice because she tends to watch the camera instead of paying attention. I have no idea where she gets that from?

Here is a clip of her doing some forward rolls before her testing.

New year, new belt!

Grace started doing Judo in October for a couple reasons. One she wanted to do it and two we thought that martial arts would help her with discipline and focus. Well her hard work is paying off! She got her yellow belt today!! Great job Grace! They are on a break now through April but Josh likes to help her practice so I'm sure she will be ready to start back up again! Can you believe in April my baby is going to be SEVEN!

Got Giggles?

Last night after Brianna woke up a couple times and I tucked her back into her own bed she decided it was time to sleep with us. Well for whatever reason she climbed in between Josh and I and then we got the giggles. I mean laughing until I was crying. I don't even know what was really so funny, we just had the giggles.

When we woke up this morning the first thing Brianna said was "Remember last night when we were silly?"

Yep I do Brianna, and sometimes you just have to be silly.

Happy New Year!

It's officially 2009 in Guam!

Tonight some friends from the neighborhood were getting together for NYE with a pot luck, jolly jumper, music and a projection tv for the kids to watch movies on. Josh ended up with the stomach flu and had to stay home so the girls and I headed over for some fun. They didn't last until midnight although Grace did hold out longer then Brianna and everyone had a good time.

Happy New Year everyone may it be filled with peace, health and blessings.
