OK, so it has been a bit (again) since we posted something. Why? Well, Courtney arrived back in Guam, and she brought a present with her -- Strep Throat! She became sick during her final week in MO, and she was able to get some antibiotics before flying home. After surviving the flight back to Guam (barely), the following week was not very productive for either Mark or Courtney. Mark went from bachelorhood back to daddy-status and nurse Nancy. Work has also kept Mark a bit busy.
But, all are well again, and Courtney's parents have just arrived to spend a couple weeks on vacation. We'll try to keep this up to date with our activities, starting today:
After 26 hours of flying (including a 6 hour layover in Japan), Wade & Gerri made it to Guam at 2:00 a.m. Mark volunteered to stay home with Olivia while Courtney picked them up at the airport. Mark fulfilled that duty by going to sleep -- but only after helping to keep Courtney awake until 1:00 a.m.
I think everyone was able to get to sleep about 4:00 last night, and I'm pretty sure Olivia woke them up about 8:00 singing "Jesus Loves Me." The day began with a brunch at a restaurant on base -- Top of the Rock. Then, we took a little drive to the beach to see it. We made it back to the house for Olivia's afternoon nap, and Courtney and Gerri hit the store to stock up on food. Then, all went out for dinner at Bamboo Willie's, a restaurant by the ocean on base. It is now 8:00, and I think Olivia is asleep. I expect Wade & Gerri to follow shortly after her.
Tomorrow, we are planning on doing some scuba diving. Should be fun.
