Well, this is the last blog of 2006. What a year! We managed to move half way around the world and settle on the island of Guam. We have seen deer, pigs, spiders, geckos, dogs, and a cat -- and all in our back yard! We have been to the beach, been to the beach, and been to the beach. Mark managed to get certified in Advanced Scuba Diving; Courtney earned her Open Water certification; and the little fish Olivia is, she will be diving before you know it! We have become good at Webcamming, and we just about have everyone trained on the time difference between Missouri and Guam. So, how do you spend the last day of 2006? At the beach, of course!!!
What about 2007? Well, on the horizon we are conducting a Marriage Workshop in January. We have a 2nd Birthday party to throw for Miss Olivia, and we have Courtney's parents visiting in February for 2 weeks. March will add another birthday for Courtney and Mark. April may bring a trip back to the States (Vegas). Australia is looking very tempting, and we may try to get down under. Mark will go up for Major in the Fall. Some dear friends will marry in the Summer/Fall (another trip home?). And in between all of this -- going to the beach, going to the beach, and going to the beach! If 2007 goes as quickly as 2006, fasten your seatbelts!
With much love,
Mark, Courtney, & Olivia

Hi Courtney!!! Brandi gave me your link and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. You look wonderful and you have a handsome husband and darling daughter. Guam looks like a beautiful place. What a wonderful opportunity for you. I know your family and friends miss you but you'll cherish this wonderful experience the rest of your life. Take care and keep updating the blog. I check it every day!! Love you!! Joan
Hey Joan-Mama! I am so glad to hear from you! Hope you see this and leave another message, including your email this time!
Myles and Lee Ann! Congratulations on the new grandbaby! Any pics? Ya'll are just knee deep in boys, aren't you? Tell the family hello for us and share our blog info if you think about it. Love and miss you guys, Court
Hi Mark and Courtney and Olivia! Absolutely love your blog. So, we haven't ever met, but I've heard a lot about you guys from Thomas and am enjoying spying on what life is like for a military family in far-away Guam. It looks like you're having an awesome time! Anyways, I felt guilty that I'd been checking out your blog but never said hello, so, hello! Love the posts and the pictures, you guys are too funny. We'll have to meet sometime when our families are both stationed in the states again! :) Take care, Heather
