I am making progress on the weight loss department, even if it is slower than I would like. I am down to 153 as of this morning. I am still loving my Vibrams, and I am even thinking about running a half marathon in April! I ran a 5K this morning after I did 60 minutes on the elliptical, and it felt great! I could have gone longer, but my left foot was cramping up and burning. I started a mild colon cleanse today as well, and I hope that will help me drop a few extra pounds as well. It is called Smooth Move Organic tea, and I am drinking it twice a day. I will update and let you know how it goes.
My Mom and Step Dad will be here in 5 days! They are coming for Chief's promotion ceremony and the party. We are so excited, and this one is a very big deal since it is his last promotion. He cannot go any higher than CW5, and we are so proud of him! He has worked so hard for this, and he completely deserves it! We are expecting about 100 people for the promotion ceremony and reception afterward, and then 100 people at the promotion party too! For the party, I am making Kalua Pork and Cabbage, Teriyaki Chicken, Macaroni Salad, Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, and Chocolate Haupia Pie. I have friends that are bring side dishes and appetizers as well. It should be an amazing party!
It is hard to believe that Chief will be leaving in 5 weeks. It came up on us so fast, and it is getting harder and harder everyday thinking about him leaving. It is going to be a long year, but we will make it. I hope it goes by as fast as this last year has!

Stream of Consciousness
Monkey Doodle started school this week, and I was really apprehensive about his teacher since it was her 2nd year teaching and the first impression wasn't very good. On the 3rd day, she told me that he was advanced in his reading and will be starting on a 3rd grade reading level with him! She is going to cater to his advancement, so that makes me feel so much better! He is loving school already, but he is not happy about getting up earlier. He has told us almost everyday that he wanted to stay in bed and go to school later! LOL! I hope he has a wonderful and successful school year.
Miss Priss had her testing for Kindergarten this week, and she did well. The teacher that tested her told me that she was definitely ready for Kindergarten. We really wanted one teacher that we had heard so many good things about, but it was a 1 in 9 chance of getting her. Well, she got her! We are so excited that she received such an amazing teacher, and I love her already. Since Miss Priss will not be 5 until the end of September, she will be one of the youngest in her class. The age cutoff for Hawaii in December 31st, so it is has a much wider window than most states, She is so mature for her age, and we are not worried about her at all. She goes to school 3 days next week, and then starts full time the week after.
I have been sick with a cold all week and not sleeping well. By the end of the week, I was done. Chief came home at lunch on Friday, and he saw my pain. He sent me to bed to take a nap, and he took Miss Priss to lunch and picked Monkey Doodle up from school. I felt so much better after having an almost 2 hour nap!
We have pizza night almost every Friday night, and last night was a special one. Our friends at, www.chelseamckinleyphotography.com , are part of our Hawaii Family and are moving off the island on Tuesday. We are so sad to see them go! We had their going away pizza night last night, and it was a blast as always. Thank goodness that I already has my homemade sauce made, and I only had to make pizza dough and prep the toppings. You can find the recipe for both right Here ! This is our 2nd duty station with them, and we hope our paths cross again really soon.
We bought a shed yesterday, so we can make our storage room in to a bedroom like it should be. My dad is coming to visit in September, so we want to have an actual guestroom. I am hoping that I have a lot of people come to visit us while Jeremy is in Iraq. It sure would help the time go by faster!
